Question: Brother, Regarding the previous question on Bishop Sheen: Father Corapi often tells this story. Bishop Sheen was on a flight during Lent one year when lunch was served. He declined his meal, telling the air hostess he was fasting for Lent. There was a young lady sitting next to him, and on hearing this she also declined her meal. Bishop Sheen asked her if she was a Catholic fasting for Lent. She replied "no, I am a witch and I am fasting for abortions". She then proceeded to "educate" Bishop Sheen for the next few hours, and showed him just how intense the spiritual battle we are involved in truely is. Father Corapi often uses this story when speaking on Spiritual Warfare.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Andrew: Sorry for the delay in responding. I had a computer crash and am only now back online. I have heard this story and it is a important one. There are forces out there actively invoking evil spirits to work against God. We are at war, a real war. As I have been quoted in saying: I am convinced that we must begin again to understand, as it was known in times past, that we are at war, a spiritual war, and thus we must act like it is war. We must act like soldiers in God's army and fulfill our calling as apostles of the latter times. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
