“And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.”
Reflection for Today
Let Revelation 20:2 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.”
Revelation is often treated as a puzzle of fear. Catholic faith reads it as a book of worship and hope: the Lamb reigns, and history is not abandoned. A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Revelation 20:2 remain. Before the day runs away, sit with this verse for two quiet minutes. Say it slowly. Notice which word stays warm in the heart, and carry that word into one conversation.
Prayer
Holy Trinity, I receive today's verse with the Church. Keep Revelation 20:2 close to me. Let “And he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and…” guard my thoughts from morning until night, and let my life quietly agree with Your word. Amen.
