The Devil does not want people to follow Christ

The Devil does not want people to follow Christ, so he tempts them, and this is not old-fashioned rhetoric because "the Devil is here, even in the 21st century" and we must learn "how to fight against Satan," said Pope Francis during his homily at Mass on Friday in Rome….

"The Devil tempted Jesus many times and Jesus experienced temptation and persecution throughout his lifetime… Maybe some of you might say: 'But Father, how old fashioned you are to speak about the Devil in the 21st century!' But look out because the devil is present! The devil is here, even in the 21st century! And we mustn't be naïve, right? We must learn from the Gospel how to fight against Satan."
