HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF
The Blessed Virgin Mary:
My dear child; let me come to you with my merciful heart to teach you how to defend yourself from our common enemy the devil.
Cover yourself with the Light of Christ which is Grace and Truth.
Maintain your faith alive, rest on your hope and trust in Jesus the Saviour of the world and live always in the Love of the Holy Spirit.
You are facing the invisible powers of evil, which try to destroy the goodness placed in your heart. The devil tries to possess your soul by the rights you give him through sin.
Every time sin is committed the soul alienates itself from God and takes a step closer into hell.
When the sinner repents, he commences the way of the cross, the ascent to the Calvary of his immolation to God.
The soul must die to temptation of worldly and carnal allurement; the soul must crucify all self love to be able to defeat the enemies.
Resist the enemy very strongly especially at the beginning of temptation when sin is presented to you in a very attractive manner and when it is justified by his lies.
Do not let him deceive you, be very alert and anticipate his moves.
Sin must be conquered by Grace, for this you must think with the mind of Christ and love with the heart of God.
Keep praying because prayer is a great weapon to cast out evil.
Remember to adore the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus in your heart and call on my name when you need help to overcome temptation.
I will always bless you and protect you.
