Why is the Rosary a powerful weapon against Satan?

"The demons were attacking me“, Said the exorcist,“ so I took my Rosary and held it in my hand. Immediately, the demons were defeated and fled ”.

San Bartolo Longo, the Apostle of the Rosary, was overwhelmed by demonic obsessions. He had been converted to the Faith by his practice of Satanism. But he was obsessed with the idea of ​​remaining consecrated to Satan and destined for hell. He was on the verge of despair and suicide. Desperate began to recite the Rosary. Well, his devotion to the Rosary chased away the demonic mental attacks and was the instrument of his path towards holiness.

He wrote Pope Pius XI: "The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put demons to flight". Padre Pio said: "The Rosary is the weapon these days".

In the exorcism sessions, while the priest recites the solemn rite, we often have the laity reciting the rosary. Gabriel Amort, a former exorcist from Rome, recalled an encounter with Satan. The Evil One, forced to tell the truth, said: “Each Hail Mary of the Rosary it is a blow to the head for me; if Christians knew the power of the Rosary, it would be the end for me! ”.

Exorcists are a particular target for Satan. Overall, they are protected but have a demonic target on their back. “Every night I sprinkle my room with holy water and invoke the Virgin and Saint Michael. And I sleep, as I go all day, with the rosary in my hands ”.

Di Stephen Rossetti.
