As much as Mary's holy name is a blessing for us, it is a dread for the evil one. Venerable Thomas a Kempis observes that the devils fear Mary so much that, if they but hear her holy name pronounced, they fly from the person who speaks it as if from a burning fire. For this reason, we devoutly follow the indispensable counsel of Saint Bernard: "In dangers, in straits, in perplexity, call upon Mary. Let her name be always in your mouth and in your heart."
