Discerning Spirits: False Light, Real Grace, and the Power of God ~ Fr. Armand de Malleray, F.S.S.P.

Описание: In this homily, Fr. Armand de Malleray explores the urgent spiritual need for discerning the occult, magic, and false mysticism in the world nowadays. Drawing on Sacred Scripture (Exodus, Acts of the Apostles), the Church teachings (CCC 2115-2117), and real-life spiritual dynamics, he exposes the dangers of spiritual deception and highlights the true source of grace: God alone, through His Church.
