302


Your crucifix:  As a Christian you should always carry a crucifix with you.  Place it on your desk.  Kiss it before you go to bed and when you wake up.  And when your poor body rebels against your soul, kiss your crucifix.  -  St. Josemaria Escriva

I have worn a crucifix for many years now and I have tried many "remedies" to assist in overcoming temptation and none has been so effective as this!  The act of visualizing the crucified Lord now has a tactile element (very much like a rosary during prayer) which strengthens my resolve.  Combine this with the Prayer of St. Michael the Archangel and you will find some Amazing weapons for those spiritual battles.

Prayer of St. Michael
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
