“The devils not only fear but tremble at the very sound of her sacred name. As men fall prostrate with fear if a thunderbolt falls near them, so do the demons if they hear the name of Mary. The evil spirits greatly fear the Queen of Heaven, and flee at the sound of her name, as if from fire. At the very sound of the word Mary, they are cast down as if by thunder.”

Catholicism Pure & Simple 
Faithful Catholics hope the devils producing the “smoke of Satan” in the Vatican will tremble at Mary’s name and that the demons there will stop destroying the Church.

I love St Alphonsus Ligouri’s meditations and writings. Always something worth reading and reflecting upon!
