Devil

A brown snake hanging from a branch looking up against a black background with the quote: "The devil is a great liar, as Jesus warns, which means that his primary target is our intelligence. His effort is to work his whisper within the quiet of the mind without detection, unknown until the damage is done. He loves to bait a soul with a remembrance of its native intelligence and a need to think independently, without reliance on any authority for truth other than a personal determination of truth."—Fr. Haggerty, Contemplative Provocations
A Great Liar
