The wicked Angels, through hatred and envy, lay snares for us, in order to injure us in soul and body, and, by enticing us to sin, to plunge us into eternal perdition.

67. Why does God permit the wicked Angels to lay snares for us?

He permits it because He knows how to make their snares serve unto His own honor and to the salvation of men.

We must fight against them full of faith and confidence, making use at the same time of the arms of prayer, and availing ourselves of the blessings sanctioned by the Church; and we must firmly resist all temptationsto evil.
