Summary/Abstract: Satan as “the father of lies” and ”murderer from the beginning” (Jn 8:44) is the enemy of man and of the Church that he continually intends to destroy. But Christ has endowed his Church with the sacraments which are sources of His grace and the encounter with the Holy Trinity. As such, they constitute a powerful weapon against the forces of darkness. Baptism transfers humans from the power of the devil, sin and death to Kingdom of God, full of life and light. Confirmation strengthens the baptized in the fight against traps of the demon.
