The Enemies of Salvation

The Triumph of the Blessed Sacrament - History of Nicola Aubry&#160;By Rev. Michael Müller, C.S.S.R.“Great was their terror when they saw how the devil writhed and howled in agony, as soon as the Blessed Sacrament was brought near him.” (Chapter II)“By the power of the Blessed Sacrament, all the obstacles of Satan were overcome.” (Chapter II)“At the sight of the Blessed Sacrament, the devil suffered the most frightful torture” (Chapter II)“The Bishop now held the Blessed Sacrament close to the face of the possessed woman. The demon writhed in fearful agony. He tried in every way to escape from the presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.” (Chapter II)“Many Protestants present also said: ‘I believe now in the Presence of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament; I have seen it with my eyes!...Oh, now I can understand what a good thing is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!’” (Chapter II)“The Bishop then took the Blessed Sacrament in his hand, and, holding It on high, he said, with a solemn voice: ‘O thou wicked, unclean spirit, Beelzebub! thou arch-enemy of the eternal God! behold, here present, the precious Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Lord and Master! I adjure thee, in the name and by the power of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, true God and true man, Who is here present; I command thee to depart instantly and forever, from this creature of God. Depart to the deepest depth of hell, there to be tormented forever. Go forth, unclean spirit, go forth—behold here thy Lord and Master!’” (Chapter II)“Jesus Christ triumphed over the devil by His death on the cross; He broke his power. Hence it is that Satan bears an implacable hatred to Jesus Christ and His religion. What wonder, then, if we find that he is always engaged in undermining Christianity, and destroying all belief in it?” (Chapter III)

Triumph of the Blessed Sacrament: History of Nicola Aubry

“What we have attempted here in this book is to provide in laymen’s terms how to defeat the infernal enemy through adherence to the teachings of the Catholic Church, a renewed prayer life, and radical return to the sacraments.”—From the IntroductionEver since our first parents were expelled from the Garden, mankind has lived a life of physical and spiritual struggle against a fallen world determined to undermine our reconciliation with God. Because this spiritual warfare is inevitable, it behooves Christians to prepare themselves for battle with the weapons made available to them by the Church. These arms come to us in the form of prayers and devotions, sacraments, and doctrines developed over the centuries based on the teachings of Christ. From this powerful cache of spiritual weapons, fully explicated in Spiritual Warfare Q&amp;A, believers can better prepare themselves against attacks from demonic forces whose sole mission is to seek out and destroy the souls of men.Intended as a how-to manual for the Church militant, Spiritual Warfare Q&amp;A is organized as a question-and-answer catechism. Dan Schneider and Jesse Romero collected six dozen questions, both theological and practical, about spiritual conflict asked of them on their radio program over several years. The topics it contains range from exorcism and the occult to magic, horror films, yoga, haunted houses, Freemasonry, and much more. While geared toward the layman, there is a section devoted to questions asked by priests about the proper roles they must perform in the battle. The most authoritative sources are cited, from official church documents to the testimony of highly regarded exorcists and theologians, on the nature of the danger and on how best to respond. The reader will not find any other treatment as comprehensive and plainspoken on the spiritual battle being waged today.

Spiritual Warfare Q and A: For Priests and Laity

<h3>Overview</h3>
From the hidden villages of Old Castile to the austere cells of reforming monasteries,&nbsp;The Life of Saint John of the Cross unveils the extraordinary journey of one of the Church&rsquo;s greatest mystics and Doctors. Born in 1542, John of the Cross burned with ardent love for God and the Blessed Virgin from childhood, and his life became a living witness to purification, detachment, and union with divine love.
Drawn from the 1680&nbsp;Speculum Carmelitanum, this rare biography preserves a voice close to the saint&rsquo;s own age. It recounts his collaboration with St. Teresa of &Aacute;vila in founding the Discalced Carmelites, their restoration of Carmelite poverty and contemplation, and the severe trials that followed. Marked by miracles, persecution, poetic brilliance, and heroic sanctity, John&rsquo;s life reveals both the cost and the beauty of total surrender to God.
Beyond the reformer stands the mystical theologian whose teaching on the &ldquo;dark night of the soul&rdquo; continues to guide Christians through suffering, spiritual dryness, and purification toward transforming union with God. Interwoven with historical testimony and selections from his luminous poetry, this work invites readers not only to study St. John&rsquo;s life, but to enter more deeply into the path of holiness he taught.
