The devil, Satan, is the adversary of God, the enemy of mankind, and the destroyer of all hope and salvation. Christ teaches us that Satan is not unlike a roaring lion, seeking out those whom he can consume. There is no good in any part of him, for he is bereft of goodness. He is a liar, a manipulator, he is temptation itself. He can bend men and women's hearts to his will at a whim, and the temptations he offers are varied, can come in many forms, and are enticing.

Satan is entirely the enemy of God and His Christ, because he himself wishes it to be so. By trying to place himself upon the throne of God, thereby crowning himself as the king of Heaven and of all creation, he was trying to make God obsolete. Let us be in no doubt whatsoever that Satan wishes, even now, to overthrow God's Kingdom in Heaven....but on earth?  That is a different story.

One only has to read about the accounts of child abuse caused by priests, nuns and every other denomination - so-called  God's representatives - to realise how deeply ingrained evil has become within the Church, and even within her corridors of power.

The Blessed Virgin Mary recognised and qualified this with the following statement: 'Yes, my children, I cannot bring you erroneous discourse with words of happiness and cheer at this time.  I can only give you the facts of what has taken place.  The present conditions in the world in my Son's Church - and in Rome - have been well promoted by Lucifer and his agents.  His power is great, but you can always break his rule with prayer.'  { Our Lady of the Roses, September 7th 1978}

And within that statement is a warning from Our Lady Herself as to the powers of Lucifer and his agents. Yet through prayer and penance may we still break that hold he has on us, and on the world as a whole.  Evil can be found within nature, were
