Latina Teens Targeted for Breast Cancer and ‘Preemies’

MEDIA ADVISORY,

Sept. 29

/Christian Newswire/ — The following is submitted by
RPRC, Brent Rooney (MSc), fullterm40@gmail.com:

Latina Miss "F.B." won her Breast Cancer (BC) law
suit claim against Portland, Oregon’s All Women’s
Health Services (abortion clinic ) on 24 January 2005.
AWHS did not dispute any F.B. claim, since AWHS
conceded all claims in an "offer of judgment." F.B. was
under age 18 years at the time she told AWHS about
her FAMILY HISTORY of breast cancer. After F.B.’s law
suit AWHS became aware of Janet Daling’s Journal of
the National Cancer Institute study; Dr. Daling’s
abstract:
http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/86/21/
1584
. One sub-group were 12 women with a
family history of breast cancer & who had induced
abortions under 18. Were half of those women in the
group with BC (cases) & half in the control group (no
BC history)? No, ALL twelve women had breast cancer
& ‘pro-choice’ Dr. Daling found this to be "statistically
significant."

If only 20% of U.S. teenage females have breast
cancer family history, then tens of thousands of
women under age 18 are having illegal abortions
performed on them every year. Increasing a teen’s
breast cancer risk via an elective (unnecessary)
surgery is gross malpractice. All seven abortion
consent forms Brent Rooney has read make zero
mention of higher BC risk for women under 18 age
with a breast cancer family history.

Can abortion-quackery be virtually eliminated? Two
major abortion risks are BREAST CANCER & future
premature & handicapped newborns (e.g.s. Mental
Retardation, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy). Future
court wins for these risks could bankrupt hundreds of
abortion clinics; visit:
www.justiceforkids.webs.com
for information that
may well improve plaintiffs’ odds of winning such law
suits. Bankrupt abortion clinics will perform zero
abortions. "The best classroom is the court room."

In a 1986 study of Los Angeles, California women
(84% Latina women) Dr. Michael Ross (UCLA, email:
mikeross@ucla.edu) reported that women with prior
induced abortions had 31% higher relative odds of a
preterm birth than women with zero prior induced
abortions.

(Rev 12:7-9) And
there was a great battle in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with
the dragon, and the dragon fought, and his angels. And they prevailed
not: neither was their place found any more in heaven. And that great
dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and
Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth:
and his angels were thrown down with him.

FROM THE MAILBAG

VIA CABIO.org: Sts. Michael, Gabriel & Raphael, Archangels

Heavenly
King, You have given us archangels to assist us during our pilgrimage
on earth. Saint Michael is our protector; I ask him to come to my aid,
fight for all my loved ones, and protect us from danger. Saint Gabriel
is a messenger of the Good News; I ask him to help me clearly hear Your
voice and to teach me the truth. Saint Raphael is the healing angel; I
ask him to take my need for healing and that of everyone I know, lift
it up to Your throne of grace and deliver back to us the gift of
recovery. Help us, O Lord, to realize more fully the reality of the
archangels and their desire to serve us. Holy angels, pray for us. Amen.

REVIEW: What Islam Isn’t By: Dr. Peter Hammond

COMMENTARY: Christian response to radical Islam

"There
is no peace in Islam," stated Hormoz Shariat, a former Iranian Muslim
extremist who is now a pastor and dubbed the "Billy Graham of Iran" by
some. "I ask Muslims, ‘Do you have peace in your heart? Do you have
peace in your relationship with God?’ A Muslim is always worried about
his relationship with God. They fear God. They are always fearful of
what Allah will do to them.

"So Islam, even though it says it is
a religion of peace, it is not," Shariat continued. "It has not brought
peace to people’s lives personally, to families, to relationships with
others and with God."

The Iranian pastor advises Christians to
see Muslims as God sees them – not with fear or hate as many view them
because of the 9/11 attacks.

"So to love God is to love them," he said. "You have to get rid of hatred or fear. If you fear them, you won’t approach them."

Shariat,
who oversees the largest church of Iranian Muslim converts in the
United States, says Islam is a religion of fear and the first thing he
does when he talks to a Muslim is pray and fight the s

pirit of fear in
them.

The "Billy Graham of Iran" also said love is not in the
Quran. He said he is joyful when angry Muslims call into his radio show
to verbally abuse him because it is a great opportunity to show the
love of Christ. While the Muslim is shouting at him, he said he would
pray, love and bless the caller.

"Every time after such a call,
Muslims would call and receive Christ," Shariat said. "They say this,
‘We have been studying about Jesus, listening to the program, but we
were not convinced. But the way you answered that man who is angry, we
are now convinced that your Jesus is the way."

otherwise, as it were, he cannot, or rather, does not wish to perish utterly.

It is the Substance of the His Issues that Makes Us Disagree with Obama

September 27, 2009 — Martin Luther King Jr. said in his famous “I
Have a Dream” speech that we must judge a man by the content of his
character, not the color of his skin. Of course, he was right.

I do not disagree with President Obama based upon the color of his
skin, but upon the darkness of his heart. It is the substance of his
policies and the inferiority of his politics that has convinced me that
he is guided by a faulty moral compass.

It is a blindfolded Lady Justice that is depicted holding the
measuring balances of equity and truth. The imagery is clear and
applicable to more than our judicial system. We should weigh a man
according to the truth of his words and his deeds, and not on his race,
creed, gender, or social class.

Therefore, I assail the core substance of Obama’s policies based on their character, not on his race.

Obama is lying to the American people. It is not hyperbole to
describe the spirit of his policies to be evil, when compared to our
standard of truth found in the Bible, which declares that we should not
murder, nor stand idly by while others commit heinous acts.

Obama said the heart of his healthcare plan was abortion; that is evil.

Obama removed the roadblock for taxpayer funding of abortion overseas; that is evil.

Obama released a statement on January 22 in support of Roe vs. Wade; that was evil.

Obama put radical abortion supporter Kathleen Sebelius in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services; that was evil.

Obama is pushing for “universal access” to abortion worldwide and a “fundamental human right”; that is evil.

Obama signed an executive order forcing taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research; that was evil.

Obama’s 2009 budget includes tax dollars to fund abortions in
Washington, DC while eliminating all funding for abstinence education;
that is evil.

Obama’s Supreme Court appointee Sonia Sotomayor, strongly favors
abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy; that is evil.

Obama continues to push to overturn all conscience laws that protect
doctors and pharmacists from being forced to administer abortions or
abortion causing drugs; that is evil.
Obama’s science “czar” John Holdren believes the U.S. Constitution favors forced abortions; that is evil.

I could continue with an unending list of Obama’s wrongheaded and
evil foreign and domestic policies but I think you get the point. While
I am arguing the objective facts, the radicals on the left have
attempted to shout me down with ad homonym attacks and false
accusations of racism.

These personal attacks are simply an indication that my adversaries
have already lost the debate on the facts, and are desperately
attempting to smear the messenger. They know that the American people
are beginning to see through the misleading rhetoric that is belching
forth daily from the Obama Administration.

On September 12, I was honored to stand in Washington, D.C. with
hundreds of thousands of patriotic-minded Americans who were not
protesting because of the color of a man’s skin, but on the content of
his character. Obama’s broken moral compass is driving America in the
wrong direction, a direction that will lead to an increase in abortions
and the human misery that follows them.

The majority of American’s don’t want to go where Obama is leading
on the matter of abortion, the most critical moral issue of our day.
With all eyes focused on the current health care debate, now is the
time to make our voices heard. To stand idly by while innocent lives
are further endangered – well, that would be evil, too.

For Life,

Troy Newman


See Each Person As a Gift from God

God's Blue Book III Cover

April 25, 1994 5:00a.m.

My child, do not fret or fume. Take this message for My beloved
ones. When I died on the cross, I held not back. I, God, gave My all for you that you
might be saved. I loved you so much. No one knows the things I tell you. I tell you with
My emotion and tenderness. You must preach My intense love. No one will know how I am
telling you. I let you experience some of My sadness and My suffering. I love you
intently. All can have this intimacy with Me and know Me as a Person. They must spend time
with Me in front of the tabernacle.

Do not be attached to any person, place or thing. You are here to
promote My love and My love alone. Do not ever worry or fret. Turn every moment over to
Me. Realize that each moment is only as it brings you closer to Me. Your job is very
important to Me. You must live only for love of Me. Forget little details. Live only to
promote My love. If your brother comes to you, help him, pray fo

r My help and answer as I
do in you. Nothing is a coincidence.

Pray the Prayer for Union with Me all day. Your greatest
satisfaction should come from loving Me and your brothers. Spend time talking to your
children about Me today. See each person as a gift given from God and love them. When you
have any interaction with them, love them as I would. This is your calling from Me: to
love your brothers. They are so dear to Me, each precious child. Tell them how I love
them, how indeed precious they alone are to Me.

Pray to see with the eyes of God. I see not their bodies. I see
not their money. I see them as the beautiful persons they are and I love them. If they are
acting nastily, love them anyway. See them with the eyes of God. They were created with
such specialness by My Father. No other person can take th
eir place in My Heart. Lead your
brothers back to Me with your love.

Love everyone. Do not love some and ignore some. They are all My
precious ones! So you look, you see their hair, their clothes, their money. Don’t do this,
My beloved ones. See the creation of the God Who lives within them. See them as My
precious ones for whom I died on the cross. I gave My blood that they might live. I want
them to be drawn to My Sacred Heart. I died for them, too. How can you size up people and
then cast them off? See with the eyes of God. Pray to love all your brothers. You cannot
do this alone. I do not call you to a select membership into your club of friends. I call
you to be brothers in Christ. You are all brothers. No one is to be excluded because of
their skin color or their bank account. I call you, My beloved ones, to love of your
brothers. If you love Me, you will love all your brothers.

You pray for the gift to love all with the eyes of God. Tend to
your brothers. They are hurting. I call you, little ones, to love. I call you to act as I
would act. Gentleness, kindness, love-no exclusion of any person! Be kind and loving to My
beloved ones for Me. I shed My last drop of blood for them. Will you do this? Hard, you
say. Love, I say. I see with the eyes of God. I do not see the gold. I do not see the self
that glories in itself. I see the beautiful creature, created uniquely by the hand of My
Father. I see that person as loved by Him and loved by Me and the Holy Spirit. I see the
child that is mothered by My very own mother. I see your brother and I ask you to love
your brother. If you love Me, you will love your brothers. How can you love Me, Whom you
do not see, if you cannot love your brothers, whom you see?

Pray to love with My Heart. You cannot do it alone.

R. I say, "But Lord, I have to protect
myself and my children," and He says, "You have to love. I will protect you.
Your loving your brother may be the very thing that saves his soul. It is no little thing
I call you to. It is essential. If you love Me, you will love your brothers. You will not
love some. You will love all. Pray to see with My eyes. You are so blind! You see the
exterior of your brothers. See the soul that needs to get to heaven! Preach My gospel by
your love. Are you preaching the gospel that I do not like some of your brothers and cast
others off, that I do not give them passes into My club of friends. I love them, each

s child created by My Father."

Jesus: "You will know they are Christians
by their love." Do you love all your brothers? "But," you say, "Jesus,
I just don’t want to" and I say, "How can you say you love Me when I am calling
you to this and you refuse Me and go about your stiff-necked ways?" You turn your
head to some and turn your head from others. Oh, little ones, pray for My grace to love.
Pray for My grace to see your brothers as your brothers in Christ. You spend half your
life sizing up your friends and admitting them into your little club. I want all to read
this message. You are all members of My club. You are My precious ones. Remember, you
waste half your life letting some people into your circle and pushing others out of your
circle. You do not even know how to love. You do this automatically. You don’t want to
love all your brothers. You want to love only the ones you let in. I call you to love your
brothers. I gave the last drop of My blood for them, remember this! You spend much time in
useless tasks, keeping track of how you have been offended, keeping track of who is
accepted and who isn’t. Then you call yourself Christ-like!

You must look to Me for your lessons on being Christ-like. I love
every single person. I love every soul today. I would die for each precious one today. I
exclude no man. You waste so much time doing senseless tasks that are so unloving. Pray to
have Me open up your hearts. You do not even know how you offend Me. Pray to be
Christ-like. Pray to love as I call you to love. Love is the key. You will learn to love
from Me and Me alone. Come to Me and let Me open your hearts to the love of God. There is
no club. You are all My chosen ones. I would die for each of you. I shed My blood for your
brothers. Love them, all of them!

Mary Vitamin for September 29th
 
Topic: Our Lady, St. Michael  and St. Francis 
 

St Michael Raphael

Image via Wikipedia

Quote:
St. Louis de Montfort
"Even St. Michael, as St. Augustine says, although the prince of the heavenly court, is the most zealous in honoring her and causing her to be honored, and is always anxiously awaiting the honor of going at her bidding to render service to some one of her servants."
True Devotion to Mary, (Tan Books: 1941), 5.
 
Meditation:
St. Francis of Assisi was a servant of Our Lady and completely dedicated to her honor. St. Francis was also very devoted to St. Michael the Archangel.  Two years before the death of the Seraphic Father, during his customary 40 day fast and time of retreat dedicated to St. Michael, St. Francis received the crowning event of his life: The Stigmata. 

1st half of 17th century

Image via Wikipedia

 
St. Bonaventure relates in his biography of St. Francis,
"Early in the morning of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, as [St. Francis] was praying in a secret and solitary place on the mountain, he beheld a seraph, having six wings, all on fire, descending to him from the height of heaven …
 
When he beheld this, he marvelled greatly, and his heart was filled with mingled joy and sorrow. …

Saint Francis Recieving the Stigmata

Image by genibee via Flickr

 
The vision, disappearing, left behind it a marvellous fire in his heart, and a no less wonderful sign impressed on his flesh. For there began immediately to appear in his hands and in his feet the appearance of nails … When the lover of Christ had been transformed by his true love into his own image, having fulfilled the forty days which he had thus spent in solitude before the feast of the Archangel Michael, this angelical man, Francis, descended from the mount, bearing with him the image of the Crucified, engraven, not on tables of wood nor stone by the hand of the artificer, but written on his members of flesh by the finger of the living God."
 
Resolution:
It is very Marian and Franciscan to be devoted to the Archangel St. Michael. Today, I will pray the chaplet of St. Michael in honor of the Feast day of the Archangels and remember that St. Michael greatly desires the honor of Mary, the Mother of God. (If time is short today, I will only read the nine invocations.)
For the chaplet of St. Michael see below or http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/csm.htm
 
Marian Vow:
“[A] particular devotion to St. Michael the Archangel and all the Guardian Angels, our celestial and powerful protectors should be cultivated.”
Marian Seraphic Pathways, Constitutions #32
 
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
 
Thanks be to God for graces received.

Feeling a Little Queasy as We Approach Winte

La mia Madonnina di Medjugorje

Image by mariella44 via Flickr

As we enter fall, an
unsettling spirit pervades many hearts throughout the world. These dark
times certainly justify uneasiness. Peering into an unknown future for
today’s culture, as fall gives way to the coldness of winter, can be
quite frightening. To enter this time without the assurance of walking
with God, with His precepts as one’s rules, will be very, very scary.
For Our Lady of Medjugorje to be with us is a great gift from God; a
consoling gift to be draped in Her mantle as we walk toward an unknown
future for society as we know it. Our Lady is our security.

In the future what is going to happen? What will
society be like? Could you imagine one year ago that the world would be
in its present condition? What will things be like a year from now? Are
we headed for a radical change of life? Many questions cannot be
answered at the moment. However, as a believer we have Our Lady. We
have Her messages. We have Her love. We have Her as a Mother. We must
put ourselves in Her maternal care. We must fall more in love with Her.
We must not act for self, but for others. We must always bear all
things in love for the sake of God. The integration of holiness in all
aspects of our work, rest, leisure, and studies is the protection for
the future. We cannot understand the graveness of man’s situation
except by asking the question, “Why is God sending Our Lady of
Medjugorje for 28 years everyday to the earth?” Think, reason, and
contemplate this action of God, and you will realize everyone must come
to know the love of Our Lady. It is, for today, the only way to save
the world; the only way to experience peace: the only way to have a
future in this life of passing into eternity. As man learns this, as
man discovers Our Lady, as man accepts the messages, the more man will
have a future.

We are working on a major operation to spread and
seed Our Lady’s messages to literally hundreds of millions of people
around the world. This project, through Caritas of Birmingham, the
Community of Caritas, and Medjugorje.com, depends first on your and our
prayers. Without your daily prayers, your pleading with God, your
petitioning Jesus for His Mother’s work, this cannot be achieved. We
are in a very serious moment of man’s history. Much depends upon you.
Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje said on July 25, 1991:
 

“…much of what will happen depends on your prayers, and you are praying a little bit!…”

 

Our Lady of Medjugorje

Image by angelofsweetbitter2009 via Flickr

Our Lady just said, August 25, 2009:


“…Little children, you are not holy enough…”
 

Our Lady’s bluntness is amazing in that She can tell
us this and the humble are not offended, rather incited to go on their
knees and become more holy. The Hebrew root word for holiness means to
separate and to be set aside and used for a divine purpose. Our Lady’s
January 25, 1987, message tell us that God wants to separate us from
the world.
 

“Dear children, behold, also today I want to call you to start living a new life as of today…”

Medjugorje (4)

Image by korom via Flickr


Separate ourselves from the direction of the life of the world and live
a new life, a holy life? For what? To be used for a divine purpose! Our
Lady, after these words to separate from the present way of society’s
life, expresses the divine purpose or plan in which God will ‘use’ us.
Our Lady said January 25, 1987:


“…God has chosen each one of you, in order to use you in a great plan for the salvation of mankind…”

 

There you have it. The program for holiness. Its root meaning: to ‘separate,’ live a new life, and to be ‘used for a divine purpose.
Our Lady Queen of Peace of Medjugorje’s call is for a great plan for
the salvation of the world. All the other messages serve as instruction
upon this one message of January 25, 1987, and how to implement
holiness in your life, to transform it into culture, and to change the
world . This is why the followers of Our Lady are not scared of the
future, and do not feel unsettled or uneasy going into the unknown,
except in pity for those who do not know the love of Our Lady.
Therefore, the ability to spread Our Lady’s messages, and the ways, and
stories of how to apply them to one’s life is a critical part of Our
Lady’s plans and desire. Our Lady said on February 25, 1995:


“…little children, I invite you to live with love the messages I give and to transmit them to the whole world…”


This plan is a major, very important, and large step that will affect
the Medjugorje movement worldwide. Our Lady wants to give us
everything, every tool for the conversion of the world. The project is
a gift, a great tool to help, by God’s grace, to be used for a holy
purpose. Please pray and check in daily to Medjugorje.com for continued
information.

 

                      Thank You in the Love of Our Lady.

To St. Michael in Time of Peace
Gilbert K. Chesterton  

This poem was first published in The Legion Book (London 1929), and again in G.K.’s Weekly of September 24, 1936. The poem also appeared in the Chesterton Review, May 1990: Vol. 16 No. 2.


Michael of the Morning,
Michael of the Army of the Lord,
Stiffen thou the hand upon the still sword, Michael,
Folded and shut upon the sheathed sword, Michael,
Under the fullness of the white robes falling,
Gird us with the secret of the sword. 
 
When the world cracked because of a sneer in Heaven,

Leaving out for all time a scar upon the sky,
Thou didst rise up against the Horror in the highest,
Dragging down the highest that looked down on the Most High:

 
Rending from the seventh heaven the hell of exaltation

Down the seven heavens till the dark seas burn:
Thou that in thunder threwest down the Dragon
Knowest in what silence the Serpent can return.

 
Down through the universe the vast night falling

(Michael, Michael: Michael of the Morning!)
Far down the universe the deep calms calling
(Michael, Michael: Michael of the Sword!)
Bid us not forget in the baths of all forgetfulness,
In the sigh long drawn from the frenzy and the fretfulness


In the huge holy sempiternal silence
In the beginning was the Word.
When from the deeps of dying God astounded
Angels and devils who do all but die
Seeing Him fallen where thou couldst not follow,
Seeing Him mounted where thou couldst not fly,
Hand on the hilt, thou hast halted all thy legions

Waiting the Tetelestai and the acclaim,
Swords that salute Him dead and everlasting
God beyond God and greater than His Name.
Round us and over us the cold thoughts creeping
(Michael, Michael: Michael of the battle-cry!)

Round us and under us the thronged world sleeping
(Michael, Michael: Michael of the Charge!)
Guard us the Word; the trysting and the trusting
Edge upon the honour and the blade unrusting
Fine as the hair and tauter than the harpstring
Ready as when it rang upon the targe.
He that giveth peace unto us; not as the world giveth:
He that giveth law unto us; not as the scribes:
Shall he be softened for the softening of the cities
Patient in usury; delicate in bribes?

They that come to quiet us, saying the sword is broken,
Break man with famine, fetter them with gold,
Sell them as sheep; and He shall know the selling
For He was more than murdered. He was sold.
Michael, Michael: Michael of the Mustering,
Michael of the marching on the mountains of the Lord,
Marshal the world and purge of rot and riot
Rule through the world till all the world be quiet:
Only establish when the world is broken
What is unbroken is the Word.

Happy Feast Day to the Archangels! I’ve been praying this Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel close to 40 years. Mother Angelica prays it with her Sisters on EWTN daily too. It’s a powerful Chaplet with many graces attached to it such as your family will be saved through the intercession of the Angels and when you receive Holy Communion, one Angel from each of the Choirs will be at your side (invisible of course)! So I pass it on to you and remembering the words of St. Padre Pio: "There are more devils on earth today than man born.", I ask Almighty God to grant you the grace of joining us in praying this Chaplet to defend the Faith and save souls, giving great glory to the Blessed Trinity, through Our Lady, Queen of Angels, through St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael and all the None Choirs of Holy Angels!
Deacon John

Opening Prayer to Our Lady

Oh, Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!

From famine and war, deliver us. 
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. 

From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us. 
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. 
From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. 
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. 
From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. 
From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.

Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world your infinite power of merciful Love. May it put a stop to evil. May it transform consciences. May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope.

Saint Michael the Archangel – Act of Consecration

Saint Michael the Archangel, invincible prince of the angelic hosts and glorious protector of the universal Church, I greet you and praise you for that splendor with which God has adorned you so richly. I thank God for the great graces he has bestowed upon you, especially to remain faithful when Lucifer and his followers rebelled, and to battle victoriously for the honor of God and the divinity of the Son of Man.

Saint Michael, I consecrate to you my soul and body. I choose you as my patron and protector and entrust the salvation of my soul to your care. Be the guardian of my obligation as a child of God and of the Catholic Church as again I renounce Satan, his works and pomps. Assist me by your powerful intercession in the fulfillment of these sacred promises, so that imitating your courage and loyalty to God, and trusting in your kind help and protection, I may be victorious over the enemies of my soul and be united with God in heaven forever. Amen.

PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL 

O glorious Prince of the heavenly host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the fearful warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come thou to the assistance of men, whom Almighty God created immortal, making them in His own image and likeness and redeeming them at a great price from the tyranny of Satan. Fight this day the battle of the Lord with the legions of holy Angels, even as of old thou didst fight against Lucifer, the leader of the proud spirits and all his rebel angels, who were powerless to stand against thee, neither was their place found any more in heaven. And that apostate angel, transformed into an angel of darkness who still creeps about the earth to encompass our ruin, was cast headlong into the abyss together with his followers. But behold, that first enemy of mankind, and a murderer from the beginning, has regained his confidence. Changing himself into an angel of light, he goes about with the whole multitude of the wicked spirits to invade the earth and blot out the Name of God and of His Christ, to plunder, to slay and to consign to eternal damnation the souls that have been destined for a crown of everlasting life. This wicked serpent, like an unclean torrent, pours into men of depraved minds and corrupt hearts the poison of his malice, the spirit of lying, impiety and blasphemy, and the deadly breath of impurity and every form of vice and iniquity. These crafty enemies of mankind have filled to overflowing with gall and wormwood the Church, which is the Bride of the Lamb without spot; they have laid profane hands upon her most sacred treasures. Make haste, therefore, O invincible Prince, to help the people of God against the inroads of the lost spirits and grant us the victory. Amen. (indulg. By Leo XIII, 25 Sep. 1888]





“But perhaps, now that thou art raised to the high dignity of Queen of Heaven, thou forgettest us poor creatures? Ah, far be such a thought from our minds, for it would little become the great compassion that reigns in the Heart of Mary ever to forget such misery as ours.”
