1 Peter 1 v 3-9
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, 7 so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

A picture of Jesus, at one side Holy Michael The Arch Angel with his sword drawn, on the other side St Joseph carrying The Book Of Gods Holy Word, all three are confronting an army of darkness.
St Joseph raises the Book Of Gods Holy Word above his head, and St Michael raises The Sword of Truth.
Our Lady appears and quietly goes before them, The army of Darkness dissipates and the Evil slinks away. The Evil cannot countenance Her Presence, She who is all Humility Vanquishes all that is of Evil Pride.
My beloved children, the battle is great between all that is evil and all that’s is good, My Mother will lead you to victory, for She is all powerful in prayer and I can refuse Her nothing.
Her victory is not in Might but in Humility, for Victory is having the humility to do all in My Fathers Will and not your own will, doing My Fathers Will will lead you to steadfast Prayer Fasting and Holiness, these then will arm You against evil attacks.
Pray for My Beloved Priest Sons in these dark days, pray for those who do not know me and even more for those who turn their face against Me and My Love. My Love and My Fathers Will, will prevail.
Know this, I know you by Your Name and You are precious in My Eyes.
Jesus
