#21 - Importance of Prayer, Part 2

The demon seeks by every means to turn us away from prayer, "he well knows, the traitor, that a soul that perseveres in prayer is lost to him for ever;... you may believe me, she will arrive at the harbour of salvation." - St. Teresa of Avila

SAVED
"Many souls that would otherwise fall into hell and eternal damnation have been saved because of the thousands of prayers that have been rising to Heaven for their salvation. Only, My children, in the time of your great reward in Heaven will you understand fully how great was your mission upon earth." - Jesus, October 6, 1976

"The greatest weapon you have now is prayer; you will use it." - Our Lady, May 30, 1973

ARMOR
"Use the armor that My Mother has given to you, of prayer, penance, and sacrifice. Learn, My children, to cast aside the things of your world that bring your soul into darkness.

BISHOPS

BROKEN HOMES
"It is only because there are not enough prayers that there is discord and broken homes." - Our Lady, December 28, 1974
