“Every time you go to confession, immerse yourself entirely in My mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of My grace upon your soul…” --what Jesus told Saint Faustina.

Does it? I feel like the devil is getting stronger and stronger especially the more I go to Mass and confession.

The devil notices you more precisely because you go to Mass and confession. This doesn’t make him stronger—it weakens his hold on you. The more effort you put into growing closer to God, the more effort the devil has to put into trying to lure you away from that path.

Satan does not need to go after someone if (s)he is already his.

Satan hates the rosary mass and confession and all the sacraments as this builds your relationship with God and satan gets weaker the closer you are to go god

The more effort you put into growing closer to God, the more effort the devil has to put into trying to lure you away from that path.

This is very true and makes it seem futile.

I do all that already and have done for years but Satan feels stronger not weaker, he seems to attack me through other people a lot these days.
