Deliver Us from Evil | What “Evil” Really Means in the Lord’s Prayer

Description

When we pray “Deliver us from evil,” we’re not just asking to avoid bad situations — we’re asking for deliverance from the Evil One himself. In the original Greek, ponērou means “the Evil One” — the Devil, the Father of Lies, and the Prince of Darkness. This prayer isn’t about fear, but about trust — asking God to protect us from temptation, deception, and sin. Evil isn’t equal to good; it’s simply the absence of it. And while the Devil’s power is limited, God’s grace is limitless. 👉 Subscribe to Catholic Voices and Prayers for daily Catholic wisdom, saint stories, and powerful spiritual insights that strengthen your faith and help you resist evil.
