In fact, the following day he may even turn it against you. (It goes without saying that I am not referring
833 (SOBRIETY/ ALERTNESS/ ATTENTION)
833 (SOBRIETY/ ALERTNESS/ ATTENTION) Be always on guard and armed (like a guard in the outpost). For, at any moment the devil may attack you, hidden and treacherous, and cast you down without you knowing it (if, in fact, you do not have the sobriety and the attention required). (NEIGHBOUR/
