Dear friends, I don’t watch regular TV that much. Most of what I watch on TV is sports and news. So, you can imagine my surprise the other day when I saw a preview for a new TV series entitled, Lucifer. The premise of the series is that Lucifer, bored with his life in Hell, comes to Los Angeles to help humanity with all its miseries through his experience and telepathic abilities to bring people's deepest desires and thoughts out of them. Lucifer ends up becoming a consultant for the LAPD to help arrest and punish people for their crimes. Wow! Isn’t that amazing? Now the modern media is trying to sanitize the Evil One and make him
out to be one of the good guys. Of course, I really shouldn’t be that surprised because the Evil One has been using the media for years to help promote his agenda. So much that is evil has been cast in a new light by the media as being good and helpful, just as this new series Lucifer does! Brothers and sisters, the fact is the Evil One is still who he is and still uses the same tactics that he used on Jesus in the desert, as we heard in today’s Gospel on this First Sunday of Lent. The devil’s tactics are basically four. The first tactic is Deception by suggesting to us that sin is better than God’s will. We human beings remain very gullible. We are suckers for empty promises. The devil deceives us by suggesting to us all sorts of convoluted reasoning and complexities, by entertaining endless complications by asking, “Yes, but what if this….and What about that….??!” When we fall prey to this tactic, we begin to entertain all sorts of possible difficulties, exceptions, or sob stories—all to avoid insisting that we and others must behave correctly and live according to God’s truth. Another form of deception is the devil seeks to deceive us with clever euphemisms that cover up the horrors of evil and deceives us to dismiss what God calls sinful as being either “good” or “no big deal.” So, the dismemberment and murder of a child through abortion becomes “reproductive freedom” or “choice.” Sodomy is called “gay”—a word which used to mean “happy.” Fornication is called “cohabitation.” And the redefinition of marriage as it is been known for some 5000 years, is labeled “marriage freedom.” Our luminous Faith and ancient wisdom is called “darkness” and “ignorance.” Catholic morality is dismissed as being “medieval, archaic and out of touch with mainstream America.” The second tactic of the devil is Division. The devil’s work of division starts within each one of us. Edward Martin wrote a poem that captures this division within each one of us. It is entitled, ’My Name is Legion’: “Within my earthly temple, there’s a crowd; There’s one of us that’s humble, and one that’s proud. There’s one that’s broken-hearted for his sins; and there’s one that is impenitent that sits & grins. There’s one that loves his neighbor as himself, and one that cares for naught but fame and self. From much corrupting care I should be free, if I could once determine which is me!”
And of course the devil’s attack against our inner unity spills out into many divisions among us externally as Satan taps into our anger, past hurts, resentments, fears, misunderstandings, greed, pride, and arrogance. The devil has a real field day tapping into the plethora of our sinful drives within us.
The devil’s third tactic is Diversion. To be diverted means to be turned away from our primary goal or task. And for all of us, that goal is God and the glorious things waiting us in heaven. The path to heaven is faith and obedience to Jesus and His truth. The devil does all that he can to divert, that is, turn us away from our one true goal by diverting our attention from things eternal to things that are temporal and passing. The devil also uses anxieties and fears to divert our attention. At the heart of all diversion is that the devil wants us to focus on lesser things to avoid focusing on greater things, such as moral decisions, and the overall direction of our life.
The fourth tactic is Discouragement. As human beings, and certainly as Christians, we ought to have high aspirations. Satan tempts us to be impatient with ourselves and others, resulting in a lack of charity toward ourselves and others. Some grow discouraged with themselves or others and give up on the pursuit of holiness. Others give up on the church because of the imperfections found there. The devil also discourages us through simple things like fatigue, the personal failings that we all experience, setbacks, and other obstacles that are common to our human condition, and common to living in a fallen world. In all these ways to devil seeks to discourage us, to make us want, at some level, to give up. Only a properly developed sense of humility can help to save us from these discouraging works of Satan.

The fact is the devil hasn’t changed his tactics. He sticks with what has been tried and true. It perhaps was expressed best in a reflection that the late Paul Harvey wrote on March 16, 1993, entitled If I were the devil...
If I were the prince of darkness I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness, and I’d have a third of its real estate and four fifths of its population. But I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree: thee. So I’d set about however necessary, to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first. I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve, “Do as you please.” To the young I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince them that man created God, instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is square. And the old I would teach to pray after me, “our father which art in Washington...” And then I’d get organized: I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies, and visa versa. I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil I’d soon have families at war with themselves; churches at war with themselves; and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings, I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames.
If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellect, but neglect to discipline emotions; just let those run wild, until before you knew it you’d have to have drug-sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door. Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing; I’d have judges promoting pornography. Soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls—and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg, and the symbol of Christmas a bottle. If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want it, until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. And what’ll you bet I couldn’t get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich. I would caution against extremes, and hard work, and patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old fashioned—that swinging is more fun. That what you see on TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I would just keep on doing what he has been doing.
May God bless you with the grace to confront the Evil One and have a great Lent! Yours in Christ, Fr. Joseph Shea

I place myself in the presence of Him, in whose Incarnate Presence I am before. I place myself there.
I adore Thee, O my Saviour, present here as God and man, in soul and body, in true flesh and blood.
I acknowledge and confess that I kneel before that Sacred Humanity, which was conceived in Mary’s womb and lay in Mary’s bosom; which grew up to man’s estate, and by the Sea of Galilee called the Twelve, wrought miracles, and spoke words of wisdom and peace; which in due season hung on the cross, lay in the tomb, rose from the dead, and now reigns in heaven. I praise, and bless, and give myself wholly to Him, Who is the true Bread of my soul, and my everlasting joy.

EVENING BIBLE STUDY
FAITH FORMATION
APOCALYPTIC LITERATURE
Join us this Tuesday
February 16th or Saturday February 20th after the
8:30am Mass in the church to hear Fr. Bill explain
these fascinating writings. For additional information, please contact Annette Cecil at
805 584 3533.
MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Why are some RCIA participants dismissed in the middle of the Mass?
This Sunday, at one of the morning Masses, those adults and children preparing to be baptized into the Catholic Church, and those preparing for full communion will be dismissed at the end of the Liturgy of the Word. This will continue each Sunday until Easter when, at the Easter Vigil, those who are ready will join us at the Table of the Eucharist for the first time. The parish is not sending them out because they are somehow “unworthy” to stay for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Though they cannot yet come to the table of the Eucharist, Mother Church still has an obligation to feed those who have entered into a relationship with her through the Rite of Acceptance and Welcoming which was celebrated recently. God’s Word is their only food during this period. Instead, the participants depart from the Mass with one or more RCIA team members, to discuss the Mass readings for that Sunday and to experience more fully the impact of the Scriptures in their lives. This time is known as “Reflection on the Word.”
Inquiry Sessions for anyone considering becoming Catholic can join us at 7:30 pm in Room 10 of the school. If you are unbaptized, baptized in another faith denomination or are baptized Catholic and need both the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation, we invite you to join us. For information, please call Julia Dobrucki at 915-4625.

RESPECT LIFE
The important impact of fathers and father figures on children
Whether you’ve seen a child light up when you encourage them, succeed with a little bit of mentoring, or problem solve after lending your listening ear, it is clear that fathers and father figures are a gift in the life of children. While nothing can replace the presence of a father, many of us know from experience the influence that other trusted adults can have on the life of children. Children thrive when they have adults that they can trust and learn from. For complete VIRTUS® Article email: [email protected].
DID YOU KNOW? SABIA USTED?
El importante impacto de los padres y las figuras paternas para los niños
Si alguna vez ha visto cómo se ilumina el rostro de un niño cuando se le elogia, cómo le va mejor con un poco de orientación, o cómo son capaces de resolver sus problemas y dudas luego de que los hayamos escuchado con atención, es obvio que los padres u otras figuras paternas son un don en la vida de los niños. A pesar de que nada puede remplazar la presencia de un padre, muchos de nosotros sabemos por experiencia cuánta influencia otros adultos de confianza pueden tener en la vida de un niño. Los niños triunfan cuando en su vida tienen adultos en quienes pueden confiar y de quienes pueden aprender. Para una copia del artículo completo de VIRTUS®, escriba a [email protected].
