Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song,
\nhis praise in the assembly of the faithful!
\nLet Israel be glad in his Maker,
\nlet the sons of Zion rejoice in their King!
\nLet them praise his name with dancing,
\nmaking melody to him with timbrel and lyre!
\nFor the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
\nhe adorns the humble with victory.
\nLet the faithful exult in glory;
\nlet them sing for joy on their couches.
\nLet the high praises of God be in their throats
\nand two-edged swords in their hands,
\nto wreak vengeance on the nations
\nand chastisement on the peoples,
\nto bind their kings with chains
\nand their nobles with fetters of iron,
\nto execute on them the judgment written!
\nThis is glory for all his faithful ones.
\nPraise the LORD!\u00a0(Ps 149:1\u20139).<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe joyful warrior trusting not in the weapons of this world\u2013money, pleasure, power, and honor\u2013but in the Spirit and the Word, is just what we need.\u00a0 And it\u2019s just what good Pope Francis and many other saints show us.<\/p>\n
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world\u2014he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, \u201cNow the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.\u00a0(Re 12:7\u201311).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
