Wikipedia image The war against jihadism is not a holy war... For reasons of conscience, Christians do not want to draw anyone into to a religious war. But this should not cause us fellow Christians to neglect the help given to us by Our Lady, the Queen of Angels. She will defeat all heresies, because she is all-powerful over God’s Heart. For Catholics, it would be a big mistake not to appeal to her. The Virgin Mary is always happy to help the children in her care. ...Praying to the Virgin Mary publicly nowadays requires courage, humility and wisdom. We learn humility through our inability to achieve things and through the urgent nature of the assistance that we need. Catholics have known for a long time that the Virgin Mary is the invincible bulwark against the enemy and have in this way gained much wisdom. Mary is "stronger than an army in battle array," as Scriptures say... Far from being sissies or fools, devotees of the Virgin are the wisest and bravest of men!
