"I will put enmity between you and the Woman,
between your offspring and hers."
(Gen. 3:15)
...
Thus did the Lord speak of me, addressing Himself to the serpent... ...enmity between the Woman and the serpent...between good and evil, between grace and sin.
To walk along my way, there can be no descending to compromise with evil, because this road winds its way only over the terrain of enmity between these two opposed realities. My Son Jesus becomes the sign of this contradiction and has been given to you by the Father for the salvation and the ruin of many.
You are now living in obscure times, because in all kinds of ways an attempt is being made to reach a compromise between God and Satan, between good and evil, between the spirit of Jesus and the spirit of the world.
...Fight against sin and against compromise with the weapon of prayer and suffering. In hiddenness and confidence, in the humble fulfillment of your daily duties, in the perfect imitation of Jesus, and in poverty and contempt for the world and for your own selves, join me in waging this battle each day.
..
.in the end the victory will be solely that of my Son Jesus. He alone is the Victor.
The outcome of the great struggle, through which we are living, will be His glorious reign of peace and of goodness, of justice and of holiness, which will be established in the world and will shine forth resplendently in the hearts of all.
