YOUCAT/Catechism Inspiration:
Spiritual Warfare. I was speaking to my parish priest and he told me of this really cool analogy between the devil and flies that inspired me to write a poem. Often times we like to share how beautiful the faith is and its positive benefits, which are wonderful, but the reality is that living the Christian life isn’t always easy. We endure much suffering, but it is made beautiful in Christ and it is beyond worth fighting for.
