Episode 86 -- Spiritual Combat c53 -- Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist
Is there a fifth spiritual weapon, the Holy Eucharist? Yes!
The final section of the Spiritual Combat holds a little surprise. Up until chapter 53, Fr Scupoli has repeatedly talked about four weapons of the spiritual battle:
- distrust of self (one’s own unaided strength),
We never read anything earlier in the book about a final, ultimate weapon. In chapter 53, Fr. Scupoli begins telling us about the role of the Eucharist in helping us fight against our egoistic tendencies and building up the virtues.
