Demons: God's Instruments for Purification ~ Fr. Ripperger

追加: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]The way demons tend to function is they tend to like to go after easy prey.

[00:00:05]But because and this is something that I learned about them, because Christ has perfect course of power over them, which we saw in the casting out of the legion, right? And they and and they can't do anything without his permission. And but he but that also means that he they are subject to him.

[00:00:21]And that means that they are his instruments. And so he can use the demons to as an instrument of our sanctification and purification. So we overcome particular difficulties. And so a lot of times God will um allow the person who's leading a really good Christian life to come under attack in order to draw them draw them even closer to him than they actually are or to purify them or to make them more holy or help them to overcome a particular defect cuz the demon's using that against them. And so from time to time you'll actually see that.
