And it is.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
And may the Lord look upon you kindly, and grant you peace.
See you next year.
Behind the concrete, the visible events, behind all the objective, logical considerations, we find the struggle against evil, against the servants of the antichrist. Everywhere and always demonic powers lurk in the dark, waiting for the moment when man is weak. When he yields to the forces of evil, he separates himself from the power of a higher order; after taking the first step, he is driven on and on to the next and to the next, at a furiously accelerating rate.
