OUR LADY QUEEN OF THE ANGELS by Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

In 1863 A Bernardine Sister was shown in spirit the vast desolation caused by the Devil throughout the world. At the same time, she heard the Blessed Virgin telling her it was true, Hell had been let loose upon the earth, and that the time had come to pray to her as Queen of Angels and to ask of her the assistance of the Heavenly Legions to fight against these deadly foes of God and men. 

“But, my good Mother,” she replied, “you who are so kind, could you not send them without our asking?” 

“No,” Our Lady answered, “because prayer is one of the conditions required by God Himself for obtaining favors.” 

Then the Blessed Virgin communicated the following prayer, bidding her to have it printed and distribute it everywhere. 

August Queen of Heaven, sovereign Mistress of the Angels, who didst receive from the beginning the mission and the power to crush the Serpent’s head, we beseech thee to send thy holy Angels, that under thy command and by thy power, they may pursue the evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks, and drive them hence into the abyss of woe. 

Most holy Mother, send thy Angels to defend us and to drive the cruel enemy from us. Amen. 

All ye holy Angels and Archangels help and defend us. 



Comments of Prof. Plinio:

When we consider the power of the Revolution, the way it has spread throughout the world, further, when we consider the intrinsic ferocity it has, then we reach the conclusion that the Revolution relies on the support of the devils. 

The Revolution shows itself in its full iniquity in epochs when it lets its mask fall. During the explosion of the Protestant Revolution, for example, the number of religious women who left the convents to embrace the heresy and afterwards to become prostitutes was enormous. There was even a market established for those countless nuns who wanted to be prostitutes. There were so many who wanted to deliver themselves to this form of depravity that the normal places of prostitution were completely filled, and still a large surplus of women remained. So, a market offered them straight to the public. It shows the iniquity of the Protestant Revolution.

Also the quantity of profanations was astonishing. The heretics had a special hatred for the Eucharist and would profane it in the churches, opening the tabernacles, taking out consecrated Hosts from the chalices and throwing them on the streets to be stepped on by pedestrians. A reputable author, referring to the number of these profaned Hosts, said that the streets of all Germany were covered with Hosts. It is another expression of the evil of the Revolution. 

During the French Revolution, there was a constant persecution of the Church. First, the State declared itself separated from the Church; then it decreed the separation of the French Church from Rome. After that, all the Catholic churches in France were closed. Further, in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, the French revolutionaries placed a nude woman, a cabaret performer, on the altar of Our Lady in her place, and she was adored as the “goddess Reason.” This reflects the iniquity of the Revolution. 

In the Middle Ages, when the Revolution started, Popes, Emperors and Kings were against it. The powerful of the time were against it and, nonetheless, it infiltrated the edifice, corroded its foundations, and reached the zenith of power it has today. Analyzing this inexorable march, one concludes that the Revolution could not have been so successful without having the increasing support of the Devil. Today, then, we have the apex of both, the power of the Revolution and the power of the Devil; there is a terrible demonic infestation. 

The demonic influence and participation in the revolutionary process explains why its iniquity goes beyond the limits of human evil. The evil proper to man stained by original sin could not be as bad as the extreme of evil we are witnessing in our days. There is something else in this extreme of evil. This something else is the part played by the Devil. 

When a man delivers himself to this extreme of evil, he is infested by the Devil, because his human nature would normally be repelled by such a degree of iniquity and he would reject it. If he accepts it, this is because part of his will is possessed by the Devil. Since there are countless men in this condition, one can conclude that the Devil has become effectively the lord of this world.

So, our counter-revolutionary fight will never be complete if it does not take into consideration this fight against the Devil. This battle, however, cannot be won without the help of Our Lady. She is the one who received the mission to smash the head of the Serpent. She has the power to expel the devils. She does so by means of the Angels. 

Why does she need the Angels? 

First, God wanted the universe that He created to be governed by the creatures He created, and not directly by Him. He made the Angels the intermediaries between God and men so that they could direct them. 

Second, He established Our Lady as Queen of the Universe and, therefore, gave her the power to rule over everything. The Angels are the normal agents to execute the orders she gives for her rule. For this reason, she is the Queen of the Angels. 

Third, because the Angels have the same nature as the devils, it is appropriate for them to combat the devils So, Our Lady uses them for that fight. 

Fourth, the first war in History was the heavenly war between the Angels and the devils. This war will only end on the last day of History. Until then, the devils will always try to destroy the plan of God for men, and the Angels will do the opposite. 

Thus, Our Lady wants to expel the devils that infest the world through the Angels, her subjects. To invoke her under the title of Queen of the Angels is most efficacious.

In this fight, men have a special role to play. They must ask Our Lady to expel the devils from earth. Without this prayer, she does not do it. If we ask her, she will do it, but it is necessary to ask. Therefore, since we are living in an epoch where the demonic infestation has reached its apex, we should ask with increasing insistence that the hour of the power of darkness end and that the devils be cast into Hell.
 

We should ask her to expel the devils that influence the soul of each one of us, the souls of the members of our families, the souls of the persons we are supposed to bring to the Counter-Revolution. 

Catholic doctrine teaches us that in the first battle in Heaven, the bad angels who took an active part in the revolt against God were sent straight to Hell. The ones who took a passive part, however, were sent to infest the air of the earth. This second type prepares men to fall into temptation; when they are prepared, the first type comes in order to tempt them to commit a mortal sin and break their union with God. We should ask Our Lady to free us from the influence of both the devils of the air and the devils of Hell. 

When this power of Satan will be broken, the ground will be free to set the foundations for the Reign of Mary.
