Meditation
1) Place yourself in the presence of God.
2) Ask for the grace of having a great desire to be pleasing in the eyes of the Lord, and to have eternal life as the only goal of my most important choices, without letting myself be seduced by the spirit of the world.
3) Read the text below and then spend a brief period of time reflecting on it.
What is the “worldly environment”? (From Antonio Royo Marín, Theology of Christian Perfection). We examine the fourth (and final) way that the spirit of the world works.
Scandals and bad examples are almost continuous. Even to the point that one can hardly go out in the street, open a newspaper, contemplate a shop window, or listen to a conversation without the spirit of the world appearing in all its harshness, leading to occasions of sin in many forms. Saint John rightly said that the world is submerged in evil: The whole world is under the evil one (1 Jn 5:19). The Divine Master warned us of the seductions of the world: Woe to the world for the causes of sin! (Mt 18:7).
Put on the weapons of God to be able to resist the snares of the devil. Because our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of this dark world, against the evil spirits that are in the highest. (Ephesians 6:11-12).
4) Pray the Litany of Humility
