Christ's weapons


"Our Lord came into the world to reestablish the reign of his Father in all persons. He won them back from the devil who had led them astray by the cunning deceit of a greedy desire for wealth, honor and pleasure. Our loving Savior thought it right to fight his enemy with the opposite weapons, poverty, chastity and obedience, which he continued to do right up to his death." (CR II, 18)
