St. Francis of Assisi - November 30

The Way of Holy Obedience

"Holy Wisdom routs Satan
and his whole malicious band.
Pure Holy Simplicity confounds
all the wisdom of this world
and the wisdom of the flesh.
Holy Poverty confounds cupidity
and avarice and the cares of the world.
Holy Humility
confounds pride
and worldly people
and all that is of the world.
Holy Charity
routs diabolic
and carnal temptations
and all human fears."
--St. Francis, Salutation of the Virtues

Holy wisdom, simplicity, poverty, humility, and love is greater than any harm Satan and the world can mete out to us.  We should where these as a cloak of protection.
