Heard in Church This Morning

Father's homily today was on Jesus healing those who were afflicted with evil spirits, and on how Satan can still affect us today--that demons still have power, and that God ultimately has power over the demons.

Just at that moment, a toddler in the front row called out, "YEAH!"
