Christ in the Battlefield of Our Thoughts

October 17, 2021 - The battlefield of the Christian is the battlefield of the mind; our thought life. And in this battle, someone is going to be taken captive. Too often we get caught off-guard with our temptations and thoughts. Our thoughts then grow within us and eventually we come to agree with them and commit actions of sin. St. Paul tells us to take every thought captive. Today we talk about the discipline of being far more vigilant and watchful over our own thoughts. We also talk about turning to Christ in the earliest moments of our thoughts. When we do, it is Christ Who grants us His victory over our temptations and the demonic that seek only the destruction of our souls.
