SVETI ATANAZIJ - ALI SE LJUDJE BORIJO DRUG PROTI DRUGEMU - ALI PA SKUPAJ Z BOŽJO POMOČJO PROTI HUDIČEM

As St. Athanasius makes clear in On the Incarnation, “The demons, knowing their weakness, because of this [refutation by Christ of their own weakness and nothingness,] formerly set human beings at war with each other, lest if they ceased from mutual strife, they should turn to battle against the demons. Indeed, those who became disciples of Christ, instead of fighting against each other, stand arrayed against the demons by their lives… and what is most wonderful is that they scorn even death and become martyrs for Christ.”

Nauk sv. Atanazija Velikega, Cerkvenega učitelja:

 

Hudiči poznajo svojo šibkost, zato ščuvajo ljudi, da se borijo drug proti drugemu, da se ne bi zgodilo, da bi se prenehali bojevati in bi se skupno obrnili proti hudičem.

Tisti, ki postanejo Jezusovi učenci, napravijo natanko tako s svojim življenjem in se tudi ne bojijo smrti - ter postanejo Jezusovi mučenci.
       Se pravi, ne bojujejo se drug proti drugemu, temveč z Božjo in Marijino pomočjo proti grehom in hudičem.
