“When something would go wrong in the household — even something as seemingly innocent as spilling a pot of hot water or a slight trip, their mother would make the sign of the cross, look over her left shoulder and blame the evil one saying “You made me do that. You are not welcome here! Go away!” That is a perfect and simple example of the constant awareness of the warfare that is being waged against our souls.”
(Recollection of Archimandrite Roman Braga in ‘The Veil’)
