"Prayer to Defeat the Work of Satan"


"O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy -- the evil spirits.

"Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever!

"Take possession of your Kingdom [Duh?? Say what?] which you have created and which is rightfully yours.

"Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take.

"Amen ... "

Humm ... o.k.!

Folks, I'd rate this prayer as:

" Hummm ... O.K. .... I guess! " :)

You see:

Jesus has never lost -- nor ever will lose! -- possession of His Kingdom.

When Jesus died the chains of Satan were forever smashed.

That means for all time.

Although -- naturally! -- we're still free to enlist with his hordes if we're so inclined!

Period!

As for the Bishop of Covington, who knows what he was thinking?

And as for Imprimaturs?

They are often worthless, and have been for many, many years ...
