When the Lord says to our learning: you are the salt of the Earth (Matthew 5, 13), when he commands us to be simple and with simplicity to combine wisdom (Matt. 10, 16), is it not decent to us, our beloved brothers, to us. To provide the intrigues of a crafty enemy, with cordial care and vigilance to be known and avoided, so that, clothed in Christ - the wisdom of God the Father, we are not unreasonable in protecting our salvation? So, not only the persecution, which is to be afraid of an open attack, intensifies to impress and overthrow the slaves of God: it is easier to protect himself where the danger is obvious, and the spirit is tuned in advance to the battle when the enemy announces himself; The enemy should be more afraid and beware when he secretly draws up when, seducing the image of the world, inconspicuously hidden passages crawls, which is why it was called the “slider”, or the serpent. Such is his always in his cunning! Such is the hidden and cunning pretense of his seduction! So he seduced at the very beginning of the world, arousing with affectionative-vibrant words, careless gurgle in simple souls! He also tried to tempt the Lord himself for that in order to accidentally attack and seduce; however, he was recognized and reflected, but reflected because he was known and open. This is an example for us to avoid the path of a dilapidated person and steadily follow in the footsteps of Christ the livingman, so that we again, by negligence, do not fall into the death network, but in order to provide for the danger to achieve immortality.
