The Devil's fear



Mary, according from the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church is the mother of God (Theotokos). She is known for her humility and obedience. Aside from being the mother of God, she is also the Queen of Heaven and earth. Basing from the tradition and from the ancestors of Jesus like Solomon who had a queen mother, therefore Jesus who is a King should also have a Queen mother who will obviously be Mary. Because of Mary's assumption she had the power and authority in Heaven and on earth.
It is said that the devil hates Mary so much; he is afraid and embarrassed of her. For the devil fell because of his pride and disobedience, so Mary contradicts it with humility and obedience to God. Mary is the one who will crush his head: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” (Genesis 3:15) The devil also confessed it during an exorcism while the exorcist ties a rosary around the demoniac's neck that he hates her so much and asks the exorcist to remove those beads. We should remember that Mary is a powerful intercessor. Anything that she asks from her Son, Jesus, will be granted by Him. For He loves his mother so much that not a single request will he rejects.
The rosary is also a great sacramental used against the evil spirits. It is also used by exorcists during Deliverance sessions and solemn Exorcism. Rosary is not merely a sacramental but a weapon against the devil.
