Satan has a terrible fear of Our Lady and of prayer. He is a loser and will never win !! Our Lady of Medjugorje Warns Against the “Evil One”

Vatican Exorcist Speaks Out:
If we read again the abundant steps in which Our Lady in Medjugorje warns us against Satan, we realize that the remedies are also indicated to overcome it.
These are the remedies that we find punctually in the Word of God: there is everything. Let us begin by recalling that the action of the evil one (this is the term preferred by the New Testament to indicate the demons) has two aspects: there is an ordinary action to which we are all subjected.
Even Jesus, wanting to be in all similar to us, except in sin, has accepted to undergo the ordinary action of the devil, that is, the temptations.
How to win then? Jesus himself shows us the two indispensable means: “Watch and pray not to fall into temptation” (Matthew 26.41). In all her messages, the Queen of Peace encourages us to pray; and continually warns us against the evil, the temptations of the world, the weaknesses of our wounded nature. A specific study on this subject would be useful.
There is also an extraordinary action of the devil. Besides the aggravation of temptations, the evil one has powers, by divine permission, such as to cause particular torments.
I usually list them in five forms:
1.external torments,
2.possession,
3.vexation
4.obsession
5. infestation.
We’ll talk about it in more detail next time. Here I would like to point out how Our Lady does not insist so much on these single forms, but rather on the means we have to defeat Satan. Prayer and vigilance are sometimes not enough; the Lord asks us more. He asks us for fasting and above all for the exercise of virtues, especially humility and charity.
These two virtues, typically Christian, disconcert Satan, completely displace him. Evil is all pride, rebellion against God, arrogance. And there is no doubt that pride is the strongest of vices, so much so that in the Psalms (18) it is called “the great sin”. Faced with a humble soul, the demon can do nothing.
Notice that humility has two complementary aspects: feeling nothing, because we are aware of our weakness; trust in God, who loves us and from whom every good comes to us. The demon knows very well these things and attacks us either with the complacency of ourselves or with every form of discouragement.
