I am finding Father Calloway's "retreat" to be very fruitful and highly recommend this book to all. Here is an excerpt: “While the devil definitely wants you to sin and offend God and his love, the devil knows well that the only thing that can bring you true happiness in this life and everlasting joy in the next, is the Holy Eucharist. It is for this reason that the devil's primary tactic of bringing souls to ruin is to estrange them from the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the key to happiness and true life in God. The devil doesn't want you to go to heaven. He wants you to go to hell. The devil knows that if he can get you to doubt the Real Presence, it is very likely that you will eventually fall away from believing in sin, hell and the devil himself. He knows that to walk away from the Eucharist is to walk away from life. To abandon belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is to lack trust in God's merciful love and plan for your salvation. T
Lord, You know our selfishness, our childish self-centeredness. Help us to die to ourselves and live only for You.
