As the little vessel of thy soul is being overwhelmed with the waves of temptation, arouse Christ with thy prayers. Our visible foes we subdue by striking and slaying them; but this invisible enemy of our souls we conquer by pouring out our prayers to God. O blessed Christ, do Thou fight for us and in us, that in Thee we may have the victory! - Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditations* XXVII
