St. John Bosco: The Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin Protect the World

"Were it not for the Blessed Virgin and the Blessed Sacrament, the world would now be in ruins. Those who want to work in the light - that is, along the way to heaven – must draw closer to these two sources of light, or at least one of them. Those who walk away from them move in darkness and in the shadow of death."

"Trust all things to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and to Mary Help of Christians and you will see what miracles are."

Visit Him rarely.

Do you want the devil to attack you?

Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament.

Do you want him to flee from you? Visit Jesus often.

Do you want to conquer the devil?

Take refuge often at the feet of Jesus.

Do you want to be conquered by the devil?

Forget about visiting Jesus.

My dear ones,

the visit to the Blessed Sacrament

is an extremely necessary way to conquer the devil.

Therefore, go often to visit Jesus

and the devil will not come out victorious against you."
