The Strong Man Bound

The devil has met his match. Jesus crushes the strong man's head by his holy cross and destroys him, though his heel is bruised and he dies in doing so. Yet his glorious resurrection signals utter victory for his people who must still wrestle against the darkness of this age. We have our guarantee in the holy Sacrament that the war against the devil is ended, and the skirmishes that afflict us will soon be over as well. Sermon for Oculi.
