Pray for Our Enemies
Pray for Our Enemies
Upon his sentencing to 4 months in prison for insulting Eric Swalwell and the corrupt J6 committee, the "honey badger" Stephen K. Bannon exhorts us to "pray for our enemies"
I just interrupted my day to say the Sorrowful Mysteries for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Marry under her title as Our Lady of Sorrows for the conversion and salvation our enemies.
Fr. Chad Ripperger, in his highly recommended book, Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity, the most renowned exorcist alive today, tells us that the most powerful intercessory prayers against diabolical influence are offered through the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Sorrows:
We ought also to petition Her under the title of Our Lady of Sorrows in the spiritual combat for two reasons.
The first is that when St. Joseph and Mary took Jesus to St. Simeon, he said to Our Lady that Her heart would be pierced so that the thoughts of many would be revealed. Our Lady, by undergoing the Passion with Christ, would merit an intimacy with God that no other creature had. As a result, He reveals things to Her that He does not reveal to others. However, He will allow us to petition Her so that She may reveal hidden things by an ordinary actual grace relating to the spiritual life. This is true in relation to our own defects but especially in matters of spiritual combat. In spiritual warfare, precision is everything. In this respect, spiritual warfare is not any different than any other kind of warfare; the more accurate or specific the weapon, the more effective it will be. For this reason, if we pray to Our Lady of Sorrows, she will reveal to us the nature of the demon we are dealing with, whether that is in our own lives or in the lives of those to whom we have obligations. This provides us a specific target to combat.
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood. That’s why all political activity against the demonic Democrats is futile unless God ordains our victory. Fr. Ripperger continues:
The second reason to pray to Our Lady of Sorrows is because of the promises made by her to St. Bridget of Sweden: “I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.” Ultimately we are powerless to protect ourselves in the spiritual warfare. Only Christ can protect us and those whom Christ has commissioned to protect us, among whom Our Lady stands above the rest.1
