\u201cHe presents things as if they were good, but his intention is destruction. And the angels defend us,\u201d the Roman Pontiff told those gathered for his Sept. 29 Mass in the Vatican\u2019s Saint Martha residence chapel.<\/a><\/p>\nPope Francis then noted how \u201cSo many projects, except for one's own sins, but many, many projects for mankind's dehumanization, are his work, simply because he hates mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued by explaining that although the Bible tells us that the devil is astute and cunning in his attacks, we have the angels to defend us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey defend mankind and defend the God-man, the superior man, Jesus Christ who is the perfection of humanity, the most perfect."<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is why the Church honors the angels, because they are the ones who will be in the glory of God \u2013 they are in the glory of God \u2013 because they defend the great hidden mystery of God \u2013 namely, that the Word was made flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is therefore the responsibility of the People of God \u201cto safeguard man, the man Jesus,\u201d the Pope went on, because \u201che is the man who gives life to all men.\u201d<\/p>\n
However this is not easy because Satan has invented \u201chumanistic explanations that go against man, against humanity and against God\u201d in order to destroy us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis struggle is a daily reality in Christian life, in our hearts, in our lives, in our families, in our people, in our churches,\u201d the Pope went on, adding that \u201cif we do not struggle, we will be defeated.\u201d<\/p>\n
