The snares of faithful servants
September 12
“Mary must be terrible to the devil and his crew, as an army ranged in battle, principally in these latter times, because the devil, knowing that he has but little time, and now less than ever, to destroy souls, will every day redouble his efforts and his combats. He will presently raise up cruel persecutions and will put terrible snares before the faithful servants and true children of Mary, whom it give him more trouble to conquer than it does to conquer others.”

To repair the damage
September 8
“To repair the damage done by our first parents, divine Mercy devised a ‘plan of revenge’ modeled so to speak, on the plan of our defeat. God willed that at the side of the New Adam there should be a ‘New Eve,’ Mary. Just as a fallen angel, disguised as a serpent, suggested disobedience to the first Eve, so the good angel, Gabriel, asked obedience of Mary.”
