The present paper aims to approach the subject of fear, specifically fear of the devil among the Neocatechumenal Way. To carry out this study we have based on the speeches given by a group of respondents belonging to the Neocatechumenal communities of Huelva and Seville (Spain). These, through their religious discourse, a facet that glimpse, now in the XXI century, could be almost forgotten or relegated to the consideration only of a few. We refer to the fear of the devil -the "evil"- and all that he represents within Catholicism: could not we meet God, deny the Creator ultimately be excluded from eternal salvation if one falls caught in their nets.
