"Satan has placed his disciples in your schools, your government, your ways of entertainment, your means of communication: all have been infiltrated. You can readily see, My children, how far he has progressed to destroy!
"We are gathering Our armies from Heaven. Yes, We are watching and will join in the eventual combat, for My Mother's heart will heal when We triumphantly remove the evil one from among you."
Rose notes from Veronica
The Power of the Rosary
Saint Bonaventure said in his psalter that whoever neglected Our Lady would perish in his sins and would be damned. "He who neglects Her will die in his sins." If such is the punishment for neglecting Her, what must be the punishment in store for those who actually turn others away from their devotions to the Rosary!While Saint Dominic was preaching the Rosary in Carcassonne, a heretic made fun of
the miracles and the fifteen mysteries of the holy Rosary, and this prevented other heretics from being converted. As a punishment God suffered l5,000 devils to enter the man's body. His parents took him to Father Dominic to be delivered from the evil spirits. He started to pray, and begged everyone who was there to say the Rosary out loud with him. At each Hail Mary Our Lady drove 100 devils out of the
heretic's body, and they came out in the form of red hot coals.
The learned Franciscan, Cartagena, relates this factual story which took place in 1492:
The venerable James Sprenger and other religious of his order were zealously working to reestablish devotion to the holy Rosary, and also to erect a confraternity in the city of Cologne.
Unfortunately, two priests who were famous for their preaching ability were jealous of the great influence they were exerting through preaching the Rosary. So these two fathers spoke against the devotion whenever they had a chance. As they were very eloquent and had a great reputation, they persuaded many people not to join the confraternity.
One of them, bound and determined to achieve his wicked end, wrote a special sermon against the Rosary and planned to give it the following Sunday. When it came time for the sermon he never appeared, and after a certain amount of waiting somebody went to fetch him. He was found dead, and evidently died all alone, without anyone to help him and without seeing a priest.
This miraculous photo was not taken on the sacred grounds, but in a home in Holyoke, Mass. It was this little girl's birthday party, and she was asked to make a birthday wish while the birthday cake was being lit. The girl's wish was that Our Lady come to her party. When a photo was taken, one's sees that Our Lady granted her wish. The Vigil Statue of Our Lady of the Roses appears in front of the girl, carrying an armful of roses. Even Veronica's Shrine crucifix can be seen over the girl's chest area, as though blessing the little girl's wish.
