Wednesday, Seventh Week of Easter

St. John 17.11-19: "As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth".

"...Evil is not an abstraction, but refers to a person, Satan, the evil one, the angel who opposes God. The devil is the one who "throws himself across" God's plan and his work of salvation accomplished in Christ" (CCC# 2851).
