Reflection for January 3

Priest to drunk parishioner:
"Don't you know drink is your enemy?"

"I know, Father, but you told me
to love mine enemy.

Reflection

The devil can quote scripture and mine enemy is just as
cunning.

Affirmation

That I may keep from entering into any dialogue with
my enemy today—lest the truth be obscured.
