San Michele Arcangelo is no longer spoken in the Church, nor is invoked his protection more against the devil. Moreover, we no longer speak of the devil, sin, hell, under the pressure of a "theology degree" deemed inconceivable that an eternity of damnation, betraying the very words of Jesus: "So it will be the end of world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the good and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth "(Mt 13.49-50). This has already been "outrageous" for a faith that seems to have to adapt to the fashions of the world, doing good to decriminalizing any responsibility for his actions and the resulting penalty. God is merciful? Absolutely, but God is just. Can not save us without our consent, can not forgive us if we ask it to him. In the words of S. Augustine: " The God who created you without you, can not save you without you . This is because God has created man free and therefore responsible for the denial of hell which also implies the absurd denial of human freedom, as well as the righteousness of God is not for us to say who is saved and who damned but it is for all Christians, the Church, to warn men from the possibility of eternal damnation. "Go to around the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned ... "(Mark 16: 15-16). But today, it is spoken less and less, exorcising death and all that follows. In the catechism has taught what sin is, the difference between mortal and venial sin, and its consequences for our soul, not speaking about Satan, the enemy, he goes to escape the temptation, to do penance to obtain the necessary grace to keep from falling, as if salvation was already guaranteed. " Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and few there be that find it "(Mt 7, 13-14). Easy to perdition, and that is why it is necessary to invoke the Archangel Michael, Prince of the heavenly army, because in the spiritual battle every day, help us and protect us from the temptations of Satan. We begin today, September 29, Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. " Sancte Michael Archangel, defends in proel nos, ut not in terrible pereamus judice".
