Spiritual Warfare

Jesus Christ'a great commissioning to the Apostles was bound to fail from the start, humanly speaking, that is.  It is through God's grace that we are protected and sustained throughout the unseen spiritual battle. With it, we are able to accomplish His work beyond human comprehension. Hence, we need to pray for His blessings when we decide to accept His great commissioning to do His work.
My family and I are not free from the harassment of the other side.  They are aware we are standing at the right side of God and therefore, when we attempt to expand our territory just like the Apostles, by saving those outside His light, the other side gets jealous...and mad!
There are a lot of prayers asking for God's protection.  My family and I however have been saying the Prayer of Jabez in our daily prayers. This is from 1Chronicles 4:10. Please allow me to share it with you:
"Oh, Lord that You would bless me indeed and expand my territory! Let your hand be with me and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain."  
Also, when our Bible is not in use during prayer time, we keep it opened at the page of  Psalm 91 at our altar.
Foremost of all however, apostles as we are, we need to be holy as He is holy...we need to be always in a state of grace.  Frequent Confession and receiving of the Holy Communion is a must for God to hear our prayers and bless our work for Him.
My friends, let us offer a prayer for one another asking for God's protection and His blessings in our Apostolate to help the Souls in Purgatory.
