Pope Francis: Where Mary is, ‘the devil does not enter’
.- At Mass in the Basilica of St. Mary Major Sunday, Pope Francis said that when we go through difficult times or have problems or worries, Mary is our shield, guarding our faith and protecting us from evil.
“Where the Madonna is at home the devil does not enter; where there is the Mother disturbance does not prevail, fear does not win,” the Pope said Jan. 28.
“Who of us does not need this, who of us is not sometimes upset or restless? How often the heart is a stormy sea, where the waves of problems overlap, and the winds of worry do not cease to blow! Mary is the sure ark in the midst of the flood.” STORY HERE:
Salus Populi Romani (Protectress of the Roman People) is the title of an ancient Byzantine icon of Mary and the Child Jesus, traditionally held to be painted by St. Luke the Evangelist and to have arrived in Rome in the 6th century. (Another lie, just like Pilate's Staircase!)
At the top of the stairs is the lovely Sancta Sanctorum, a private papal chapel with 13th century frescoes you can barely glimpse through the grating, plus a painting of Christ said to have been started by St. Luke and finished by an angel.??? LINK HERE:
