A lot has changed in my heart lately. This semester abroad has been more blessed that I ever could have imagined it would be. Spiritual direction with Fr. Brad has rocked my world. I'm realizing how true Scripture really is. I realized that I care more about quitting cutting than I ever had before. That's why I feel SO guilty when I do it. I haven't done it in over 2 weeks. Fr. Brad and I have talked about how the devil has put those lies in my head and that I need to stop them before they get overwhelming. Well, I've decided that I'm going to become Satan's worst nightmare. I'm going to whoop his ass. He has no idea what's coming. He has no more control ove me. He has no right to try to take my soul. My soul belongs to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and he can't touch me anymore. I claim the victory of the Cross and I'm covering myself in the Precious Blood of Christ. He's got no chance.
This weekend, we went to Medjugorje, Bosnia. It's where the Blessed Mother has been appearing for 30 years. The Blessed Mother rocked my world while we were there. I had no idea what it was going to happen, but I'm SO happy I went.
"The Devil fears the Virgin Mary more, not only than men and angels but, in a certain sense, than God himself. It is not that the wrath, the power and the hatred of God are not infinitely greater than those of the Blessed Virgin, since Mary's perfections are limited: it is because, in the first place, Satan, being proud, suffers infinitely more from being overcome and punished by the little, humble servant of God, her humility humiliating him more than the divine power; and secondly, because God has given Mary such great power over devils that, as they have often been obliged to admit, in spite of themselves, through the mouths of possessed persons, they are more afraid of one of her sighs of grief over some poor soul, than of the prayers of the saints, and more daunted by a single threat from her than by all their other torments" -Msgr. Leon Cristiani
The Blessed Mother's on my side, Jesus is on my side, St. Padre Pio, St. Michael the Archangel, and the entire communion of saints and angels are on my side. Look out, Satan. You're going down.
