Thus, we provide you a quote of his speaking about the Blessed Virgin Mary, as he had a great devotion to the Blessed Mother, particularly through the Rosary. For him, the Rosary is the weapon against Satan. Quote: “Love the Madonna and pray the Rosary, for her Rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.”
