    1 Peter 5:8 (really 1 Peter5:5-11) but verse 8 says. `Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.`
    Which is this entire journey for us men. The devil is prowling...daily... to devour us, to tempt us, to make us sin. I see you're in a battle of words with white_umbrella. What is your Catholic background?
    And thanks for the welcome.

    Good verse! I'm a lifelong catholic on the path to the diocesan priesthood. Yeah - I've always been engaged in the study of apologetics and it always hurts me to see someone who professes to be Catholic but teaches/lives the faith falsely. When white_umbrella posted I hoped prevent him from being at risk of serious sin. Pray for him, please. And for me too. :P

    It is a blessing and a challenge to be called. It always seems like the devil hates me more because of it. I've been on the site since November.

    This is true, I went from a 2-3 PMO per day to I'm now about once a week, MO mostly without porn. I have not watched any videos of fornication in over a year. There still have been some slippage into nude photos of women. But it's the days I wake up, meditate and truly focus on God that seem to be the hardest. Satan hates to lose.
