How weak the foundations! How unprepared the army! Who or what will defend the Church. Satan advances, victory after victory, smashing citadels and claiming universities.
Our Lady’s little guard of honor remains faithful to the end, protecting her name and privileges. The others abandon her and lose hope.
She delays. She postpones. She puts off the conflict. Right now, all would be a disaster. A new stirring, a new call to victory must first go forth. Only then will her army be ready, and the battle begun.
