2. From St. Gregory the Great in the Liturgy of the Hours today:

It is the wisdom of this world to conceal the heart with stratagems, to veil one’s thoughts with words to make what is false appear true and what is true appear false. On the other hand it is the wisdom of the just never to pretend anything for show, always to use words to express one’s thoughts, to love the truth as it is and to avoid what is false, to do what is right without reward and to be more willing to put up with evil than to perpetrate it, not to seek revenge for wrong, and to consider as gain any insult for truth’s sake. But this guilelessness is laughed to scorn, for the virtue of innocence is held as foolishness by the wise of this world. Anything that is done out of innocence, they doubtless consider to be stupidity, and whatever truth approves of, in practice is called folly by their worldly wisdom.

3. St. Ephrem the Syrian says don’t worship idols in your heart

6. Pope Francis on what evangelization and catechesis need to air people in: “how to meet Christ, and what is the most consistent place to find him and follow him.”
From Dominicana: “the malice of Satan is not greater than the charity of God. Jesus is God’s perfect counter-offer, nothing less than the offering of himself.”

One simple yet powerful public witness is the sign of the cross. Before every meal in public, & as needed, never lose courage to make it.

The sign of the cross is like a personal Passover for the Christian, both a confession of faith in God, and protection against evil.
