Our Lady needs our collaboration
Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be even more so in the future. The Immaculata alone has received from God the promise of victory over Satan. But in the glory of Heaven, she needs our collaboration today. She seeks souls who will consecrate themselves entirely to her, becoming in her hands a force to conquer Satan, and the instruments to establish the Kingdom of God.
