Count on St. John of the Cross for Just the Right Words

from The Ascent of Mount Carmel III:38.3 St. John of the Cross

How many festivals, my God, do the children of men celebrate in Your honor in which the devil has a greater role than You! And the devil, like a merchant is pleased with these gatherings because he does more business on those days. How many times will You say of them: This people honors Me with their lips alone, but their heart is far from Me, because they serve me without cause [Mt 15:8-9]

Indeed!
