The laws teach us that there is no vacation-time in warfare because even if there is a cessation from fighting (and in the spiritual warfare with which we are concerned this very rarely happens), there is nevertheless no cessation of labor. Even when not actually fighting, because the enemy is not attacking us, everyone should be in a state of readiness to fight: “Stand, therefore, having your loins girt” (Ephesians 6:14). — Fr. Paolo Segneri (d. 1694), Italian Jesuit missionary and preacher. Benedictus, October 20, 2021, p. 236.
