This expression succinctly denotes that it is not enough that the evil one pushes creation towards redefinition or destruction.  He desires to do it in a manner that denigrates, apes and makes a mockery of all aspects of God’s plan.  In all ways it is insidious.  It is also a reality check, and at times, potentially humorous for those paying attention.

Today’s Topics:

1) Gospel – John 16:20-23 – Jesus said to His disciples: “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will weep and mourn,

while the world rejoices; you will grieve, but your grief will become joy. When a woman is in labor, she is in anguish because her hour has arrived; but when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the pain because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. So you also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. On that day you will not question Me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My Name He will give you.”
