You should have a devotion to Saint George, the dragon slayer, especially nowadays.
Once, he slew a dragon.
Today, we face many dragons: relativism, tyranny, spiritual apathy.
Here’s why the devil fears St George & why we need to reignite devotion to him - a🧵✝️🇬🇪
A city is terrorized by a dragon. To appease it, the people offer sheep, then eventually their own children.
When the king’s daughter is chosen, a lone Christian knight appears.
Saint George slays the beast and proclaims Christ to the stunned citizens.
The symbolism:
>The dragon = Satan, tyranny, demonic systems.
>The princess = innocent souls, society held hostage.
>The people = a compromised, frightened world.
>Saint George = the baptized warrior who refuses to bow to fear or evil, and who fights back.
Today’s culture tells you:
“There are no dragons.”
“The dragon is misunderstood.”
“Don’t judge the dragon.”
“Feed your children to it, it’s the tolerant thing to do.”
But Saint George says: “No. Evil must be confronted & destroyed.”
Modernity says there is no truth, only perspectives.
But George didn’t dialogue with the dragon. He didn’t offer it sheep. He didn't make peace with evil.
He pierced its heart with the lance of divine truth.
Truth doesn’t coexist with evil. It defeats it. Destroys it.
Saint George’s weapons symbolize the Word of God - Ephesians 6,17
You are not unarmed.
The Catholic, clothed in grace, truth, and sacramental power, is meant to be a dragon-slayer, not a dragon-feeder.
Saint George was martyred by the Roman emperor Diocletian for refusing to renounce Christ.
He didn’t just fight dragons, he defied real earthly power in the name of a higher King.
He is a patron of Christian resistance to tyranny.
Reignite Devotion:
>Pray the Litany of Saint George
>Call upon him in battle, spiritual or physical
>Teach your sons to venerate him as a model of masculine holiness
The Militant Church needs Dragonslayers:
Saint George reminds us:
>There is no peace without victory over evil.
>There is no salvation without battle.
We must not just “resist” the world, we must redeem it through combat and conversion.
In an age that bows to beasts, be the one who raises your sword.
The time for passive Christianity is over.
Reignite the legend.
Become the warrior God made you to be.
Saint George, the dragon slayer, pray for us.
