Father Stephen Gadberry

We know it's coming, but we don't know when, and we can't control that. And so that terrifies us. And so we do all these things that distract us from that. So the life of faith is really preparing for a good death. Memento mori, I don't know if you've heard that before. I'm sure you have. Like, remember your death. Memento mori, it's a Latin phrase. And it's just an ancient Christian reflection.

A lot of times you'll see Christian art and there'll be a skull in the corner of the painting or on the table or something. And it's a reminder that you're going to be six feet under someday. And so we have to live every day so that we prepare for a good death, basically, when we go to meet the maker and give that final account. Do you see a lot of spiritual warfare?

Yeah, it's pretty hidden. It's not like the movie, the stuff that I see isn't like you see in the movies. It's pretty hidden. A lot of it's marriages. Satan is going after families. That's where he's going. And I see that all the time, so many broken families.

I've done three funerals over the last month, over the last few months, two of them within a week and one back in November, of a 17-year-old, 19-year-old, and a 24-year-old that got shot. You know, just violence. gangs or drug stuff or whatever the reason. Like, I see that. I see marriages falling apart. I see infidelity. I see kids just losing their mind because they don't have good parents.

And the parents are just lost and confused. And so that's how Satan, he can't destroy the world. I mean, he could. But like, He'll do it one family at a time if he's going to do it. And to take it back to the whole work thing, he goes after dads. If a dad is not there, then he's the cornerstone of the family. Moms are necessary. Of course, the women are necessary. So is dad, the men.

So when it comes to warfare, spiritual warfare, I see it like that. That's the biggest place where I see it, families being broken apart.

It's all disordered, you know. It's all disordered, yeah. Most simply put. And God created the universe and everything in it in a proper, ordered way. Logic is like... People don't argue with numbers. Two plus two is four. There's some objective truths. It's a simple thing for that. But like... Evil comes in, and Satan, he can't make stuff. He doesn't create things.
