MARY-Why Every Christian Must Honor and Pray to Her Through the Holy Rosary Every Day
MARY — THE PROMISED WOMAN WHO WILL DEFEAT SATAN (Genesis 3:15)
Why Every Christian Must Honor and Pray to Her Through the Holy Rosary Every Day
From the dawn of creation, God revealed a mystery so profound that it echoes through all Scripture and history — the mystery of the Woman who would crush the serpent’s head.
“I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
she will crush your head,
and you will strike at her heel.”
— Genesis 3:15
This verse — the Protoevangelium, or “First Gospel” — is the first prophecy of the Savior and His Mother. From the very beginning, God promised the coming of Mary and Jesus, the New Eve and the New Adam, who would destroy the works of the devil forever (1 John 3:8).
π₯ 1. The Biblical Foundation: Mary, the New Eve
Just as Eve cooperated with Adam in bringing sin, Mary cooperated with Christ in bringing redemption.
-
Luke 1:28 — “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.”
(Kecharitomene, “having been filled and remaining in grace”) — showing her unique purity and divine favor. -
Luke 1:38 — Mary’s fiat: “Be it done unto me according to thy word.”
Her obedience undid Eve’s disobedience. -
John 2:1-5 — At Cana, Mary intercedes and Jesus performs His first miracle.
-
John 19:25-27 — At the Cross, Jesus gives us His Mother: “Behold your mother.”
“The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s obedience.”
— St. Irenaeus (2nd century)
π₯ 2. The Church Fathers and Saints: Mary, the Woman of Genesis 3:15
The ancient Church recognized Mary as the Woman prophesied in Eden and revealed in Revelation 12.
“A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun… and the dragon stood before the woman…” — Revelation 12:1–4
The Fathers wrote:
-
St. Justin Martyr: “Through a virgin, disobedience was destroyed as it had been begun.”
-
St. Ephrem: “Through Mary, God crushed the head of the enemy.”
-
St. Augustine: “By a woman death came; by a woman life came.”
The Popes confirm:
-
Pius IX (Ineffabilis Deus): Mary is the “ever-blessed Virgin in whom the ancient serpent’s head was crushed.”
-
John Paul II (Redemptoris Mater): Mary is the Woman who continues to battle the dragon today.
πΉ 3. The Rosary: Heaven’s Weapon to Defeat Satan
The Holy Rosary is the spiritual sword God gave through Mary to His Church.
Every Hail Mary echoes Heaven’s prophecy — every bead strikes the serpent.
π️ Historical Proofs:
-
St. Dominic (1214): Received the Rosary from Our Lady to combat heresy — and countless conversions followed.
-
Battle of Lepanto (1571): Victory after Europe united in the Rosary.
-
Fatima (1917): Mary said, “Pray the Rosary every day for peace and the conversion of sinners.”
π¬ Saints on the Rosary:
-
St. Padre Pio: “The Rosary is the weapon for these times.”
-
St. Louis de Montfort: “When people say the Rosary faithfully until death, they shall receive a crown of glory.”
“This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” — Matthew 17:21
(The Rosary is one of the Church’s greatest prayers of spiritual warfare.)

π 5. The Promise to St. Lucia of Fatima
Our Lady made a powerful assurance to St. Lucia (one of the Fatima visionaries):
“There is no problem, no matter how difficult it is — whether temporal or above all spiritual — in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of religious communities, that cannot be solved by the Rosary.”
This echoes the truth of Scripture:
“Nothing will be impossible for God.” — Luke 1:37
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and tell you great and hidden things.” — Jeremiah 33:3
So no matter how hopeless a situation seems — addiction, family problems, financial crises, wars, spiritual darkness — the Rosary brings light and victory.

π 7. Why the World Needs Mary Now
Our Lady of Fatima warned: “The final battle between the Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be about marriage and the family.”
We see this today — confusion, immorality, war, and loss of faith.
Yet Mary’s weapon still works: the Rosary.
“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4
Every Rosary prayed today pushes back the darkness.
Every “Hail Mary” crushes another head of the serpent.
π CALL TO ACTION: PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY
Mary promised:
“In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” — Our Lady of Fatima
So:
π Pray the Rosary daily.
π₯ Carry it like a sword of light.
π Teach it to your children.
π️ Spread it online.
Because when you hold the Rosary, you hold Heaven’s answer to the world’s chaos — the weapon that will crush Satan’s head, as God foretold in Genesis 3:15.
⚔️ “One day through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.” — St. Dominic
