Should I join Auxilium Christianorum?

[JesusLovesOurLady]

I have been considering joining Auxilium Christianorum (Auxilium Christianorum - Homepage) for some time, but especially after recent developments, have left me concerned. (I won't go into details, but anyone who knows of a certain operation I'm working on here, on CF might have a good idea of what I'm concerned about) However, I've heard people say that, you have to prepared spiritually before joining, because Satan will retaliate, I'm wondering if I should first, focus on the basics of prayer and meditation, before engaging in serious spiritual warfare? What do you think?

this is really interesting, but I can see one caveat; one should also seek to balance their spiritual life so as to see the good that God is accomplishing and rejoice in it.
And to remember that the final battle is against satan and his followers, but that this battle is waged by the armies of Heaven and is led by Christ.
Therefore we should seek first to follow Christ and what He does, If we do that we won't go astray in our zeal to fight satan.

Good point, I think I'll wait until I start my meditative reading of the Bible and the Catechism, before I join.

yep I read an article on that which made a very telling point about fighting against satan. in order to engage him in single combat, one has to turn their back on Christ. not a smart thing to do. not at all.
