Ephesians 6:16-17
In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

St. Paul uses imagery of a warrior to battle spiritual attacks against us. But notice he does not suggest doing any violence. The only weapon he suggests is the “sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” If we immerse ourselves in the words of the prophets and of Jesus Himself…we will be able to deal with any adversity that comes our way. And through that adversity…our lives will be transformed. In the process we will discover our true selves and at the same time become agents of God’s transformation of the world.
