   "...advance into battle without hesitation. Should you be visited by   
   the troubling thought of the hatred and undying malice, which the   
   enemies harbor against you, and of the innumerable hosts of the   
   demons,  think on the other hand of the infinitely greater power of   
   God and of His love for you, as well as of the incomparably greater   
   hosts of heavenly angels and the prayers of saints. They all fight   
   secretly for us and with us against our enemies."   
   -- Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli.

   August 2nd - Our Lady, Queen of the Angels   
      
   In 1863 A Bernardine Sister was shown in spirit the vast desolation   
   caused by the devil throughout the world. At the same time, she heard   
   the Blessed Virgin telling her it was true, Hell had been let loose   
   upon the earth, and that the time had come to pray to her as Queen of   
   Angels and to ask of her the assistance of the Heavenly Legions to   
   fight against these deadly foes of God and of men.   
      
   “But, my good Mother,” she replied, “you who are so kind, could you   
   not send them without our asking?”   
      
   “No,” Our Lady answered, “because prayer is one of the conditions   
   required by God Himself for obtaining favors.”   
      
   Then the Blessed Virgin communicated the following prayer, bidding her   
   to have it printed and distribute it everywhere.   
      
   August Queen of Heaven, sovereign Mistress of the Angels, who didst   
   receive from the beginning the mission and the power to crush the   
   serpent’s head, we beseech thee to send thy holy Angels, that under   
   thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits,   
   encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks, and drive   
   them hence into the abyss of woe.   
      
   Most holy Mother, send thy Angels to defend us and to drive the cruel   
   enemy from us. Amen.   
      
   All ye holy Angels and Archangels help and defend us.   
      
   This prayer was approved by the Church. A person who says it receives   
   an indulgence.   
      
      
   Comments of the late Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira: (died 1995)   
      
   When we consider the power of the Revolution, the way it has spread   
   throughout the world, further, when we consider the intrinsic ferocity   
   it has, then we reach the conclusion that the Revolution relies on the   
   support of the devils.   
      
   The quantity of profanations was astonishing. The heretics had a   
   special hatred for the Eucharist and would profane it in the churches,   
   opening the tabernacles, taking out consecrated Hosts from the   
   chalices and throwing them on the streets to be stepped on by   
   pedestrians. A reputable author, referring to the number of these   
   profaned Hosts, said that the streets of all Germany were covered with   
   Hosts. It is another expression of the evil of the Revolution.   
      
   In the Middle Ages, when the Revolution started, Popes, Emperors and   
   Kings were against it. The powerful of the time were against it and,   
   nonetheless, it infiltrated the edifice, corroded its foundations, and   
   reached the apex of power it has today. Analyzing this inexorable   
   march, one concludes that the Revolution could not have been so   
   successful without having the increasing support of the Devil. Today,   
   then, we have the apex of both, the power of the Revolution and the   
   power of the Devil; there is a terrible demonic infestation.   
      
   The demonic influence and participation in the revolutionary process   
   explains why its iniquity goes beyond the limits of human evil. The   
   evil proper to man stained by original sin could not be as bad as the   
   extreme of evil we are witnessing in our days. There is something else   
   in this extreme of evil. This something else is the part played by the   
   Devil.   
      
   When a man delivers himself to this extreme of evil, he is infested by   
   the Devil, because his human nature would normally be repelled by such   
   a degree of iniquity and he would reject it. If he accepts it, this is   
   because part of his will is possessed by the Devil. Since there are   
   countless men in this condition, one can conclude that the Devil has   
   become effectively the lord of this world.   
      
   So, our counter-revolutionary fight will never be complete if it does   
   not take into consideration this fight against the Devil. This battle,   
   however, cannot be won without the help of Our Lady. She is the one   
   who received the mission to smash the head of the Serpent. She has the   
   power to expel the devils. She does so by means of the Angels.   
      
   Why does she need the Angels?   
      
   First, God wanted the universe that he created to be governed by the   
   creatures he created, and not directly by Him. He made the Angels the   
   intermediaries between God and men so that they could direct them.   
      
   Second, he established Our Lady as Queen of the Universe and,   
   therefore, gave her the power to rule over everything. The Angels are   
   the normal agents to execute the orders she gives for her rule. For   
   this reason, she is the Queen of the Angels.   
      
   Third, because the Angels have the same nature as the devils, it is   
   appropriate for them to combat the devils So, Our Lady uses them for   
   that fight.   
      
   Fourth, the first war in History was the heavenly war between the   
   Angels and the devils. This war will only end on the last day of   
   History. Until then, the devils will always try to destroy the plan of   
   God for men, and the Angels will do the opposite.   
      
   Thus, Our Lady wants to expel the devils that infest the world through   
   the Angels, her subjects. To invoke her under the title of Queen of   
   the Angels is most efficacious. In this fight, men have a special role   
   to play. They must ask Our Lady to expel the devils from earth.   
   Without this prayer, she does not do it. If we ask her, she will do   
   it, but it is necessary to ask. Therefore, since we are living in an   
   epoch where the demonic infestation has reached its height, we should   
   ask with increasing insistence that the hour of the power of darkness   
   end and the devils be cast into Hell. We should ask her to expel the   
   devils that influences the soul of each one of us, the souls of the   
   members of our families, the souls of the persons we are supposed to   
   bring to the Counter-Revolution.   
      
   Catholic doctrine teaches us that in the first battle in Heaven, the   
   bad angels who took an active part in the revolt against God were sent   
   straight to Hell. The ones who took a passive part, however, were sent   
   to infest the air of the earth. This second type prepares men to fall   
   into temptation; when they are prepared, the first type comes in order   
   to tempt us to commit a mortal sin and break our union with God. We
