>>14939226>reading of the life of Saint Anthony of the DesertFinally then, when the [Devil] was unable to cast [Saint] Antony down, he became angry at himself and gnashed his teeth at Antony. Becoming deranged, he appeared to him in the illusory form of a young black boy He became like a madman and, using a human voice, said to Antony, "I have deceived many like you, and I have brought down a multitude. Just now I did my utmost against you, as I have done to others"
Antony asked, "Who are you saying these words to me?"
Immediately the Devil cried out in a powerful voice, "I am the friend of fornication. I am the one who possesses its traps and desires, waging war against the young.
They call me 'the spirit of fornication'. How many wanted to live wisely, and I deceived them! How many were quietly patient, and I deceived them by casting into them daily preoccupations!
I am the one whom the prophet accuses on account of those who have fallen: 'They have been led astray by a spirit of fornication'. I am the one who led them astray. On account of me they fell.
I am the one who has harassed you so often, but up to now you have defeated me."
Antony gave thanks to the Lord and, summoning up his courage, said, "You will succeed all the more in becoming despised, for your heart is black and you are like a small child, without power. From now on, I will suffer no anxiety over you. 'The Lord is my helper, and I shall look upon my enemies'"
When he heard these words, the Enemy immediately fled, trembling before them, and he was afraid to approach Antony at all.
