Good news on 25 of March - a spiritual spring.
God sent Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden and put an angel at the gave.
On 25 March, first year of the Christian Era, the angel received a different mission, to ratify the old agreement :"Snake, the child of the woman will bruise your head" (Genesis 5:15).
The pact between God and Woman was signed: "I am the Lord's servant". Signed : Mary ( Luke 1:38)
The gate of Heaven is now open, but " Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life" (Matthew 7:14)
" Be vigilent as your adversary, the devil, is a roaring lion, walking about..." ( 1Peter 5:8)
The Church is a Spiritual Boot Camp: to provide a whole body / spirit workout that builds strength and moral endurance.
Let's listen to St. Ap. Paul's instructions:
Put on all the armor that God gives you,
so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's tricks.
For we are not fighting against human beings,
but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world...
Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resit the enemy's attacks;
and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground.
So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist,
with righteousness as your breast plate,
and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace.
At all times carry faith as a shield;
with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.
Accept salvation as a helmet,
and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you.
Keep alert and never give up... (Ephesians 6:10).
