Media And The Works Of Satan

Shooters and television stations that cover shootings nonstop seem to have a symbiotic relationship.  Certain television station reporters flock to cover shootings within the United States and around the world.  Some have traveled to Paris, France, twice to cover the shootings there and to Canada to cover the one in Ottawa, Ontario.  They seem to be drawn to disasters like flies to manure.  And potential shooters love the media attention, the 24-hour coverage.  The media and the shooters seem to partner up well, each existing for the other, one for ratings, the other for notoriety.

On the other end of the spectrum, those who perform acts of kindness do not get much media coverage.  Fr. John Lee Tae-Seok was an example. [1], [2]

Perhaps Satan in its wily ways is always more interesting than the ways of God lived out by the Son of God.  People in today's world is being drawn closer and closer to Satan by the news media, the social media, the fashion media, the consumption media (food, alcohol, gambling, drugs, medication, pornography and sports, for example) and every other kind of secular media as a participant or as an observer or both.

The antidote to this vortex of energy that draws souls into Hell is prayer.  Every prayer is a redemption of sin.  Even though it is unlikely that enough prayers would be said in one's lifetime to redeem every sin committed, it is better to have said the prayers than not to have said any at all.  It is essential to note that every prayer that is prayed with concentration, sincerity, humility and abiding love is exponentially more effective than the mere recitation of prayers of the rosary.
