All Hallows Eve: When We Flip the Devil Over on His Back:

“…when we can take the devil’s day and mock him, laughing at his imagined power over us as children of the risen Lord, we are taking away his power, not adding to it.

Every time I see a little kid (or even a dog) dressed up hilariously like a devil at Halloween, I am reminded of Thomas More’s immortal words: “The devil, that proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked.” Mock on, trick or treaters, mock on!”
