DAY 18
Excerpt from "Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Through the Brown Scapular and the Rosary."
_________________________________________
“The most terrible of all the enemies which God has set up against the devil is His holy Mother Mary.
First, because Satan, being proud, suffers infinitely more from being beaten and punished by a little and humble handmaid of God, and her humility humbles him more than the divine power.
And secondly, because God has given Mary such great power against the devils that…they fear one of her sighs for a soul more than the prayers of all the saints, and one of her threats against them more than all other torments.[1]
“Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be more so in the future. The conflict with hell cannot be engaged by men, even the most clever. The Immaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan,”[2] taught Saint Maximilian Kolbe.

O Holy Queen, dispenser of God's graces, and Mother of all who invoke thee! Thou canst not look upon my gift and fail to see its binding. As thou receivest my gift, so wilt thou receive my petition; from thy bounty thou wilt give me the favor I so earnestly and trustingly seek. I despair of nothing that I ask of thee. Show thyself my Mother!

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
