Day 210. What is evil? (2026)

Today is day 210 and we are on the section on The Seventh Petition: "But deliver us from evil".

210. What is evil?

Evil is the willful perversion of God’s will. Evil defies God’s holiness, violates his Law, enslaves us to sin, and mars his good creation. (Genesis 3:1–19; 4:1–8; 6:5; Proverbs 1:10–19; Isaiah 59:4–13; Mark 7:20–23; 1 John 3:4)

We will conclude today with The Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent found on page 605 in the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
