Unlike any time in recent memory, the United States seems almost hopelessly divided along political and racial lines. Our country seems to be torn apart and hurtling out of control heading towards some dangerous unknown destiny. Nobody seems to be able to tamp out the growing fire of rage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With the growing divide, it is important to note that throughout history, Satan has often been referred to as the \u201cDiablos\u201d or \u201cThe divider\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201c<\/strong>The devil is one who does everything in his power to separate us\u00a0(dia-bolos\u00a0in Greek meaning \u2018he who divides\u2019)\u00a0from the vertical link uniting true believers with God, and which alone saves them from solitude and death.<\/strong><\/em><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At Medjugorje Our Lady warns us that \u201cSatan is angry\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Visionary Mirjana, in her book\u00a0,\u00a0My Heart Will Triumph<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>talks about the real existence of Satan or the \u201cDevil\u201d\r\nShe writes,\u201cOur Lady also continually warned\u00a0the parish that the devil was angry, saying in one of the weekly messages, \u2018these days Satan wants to frustrate my plans.\u2019\u00a0<\/em>Likewise, she once told me that Jesus struggles for each of us, but the devil tries to interfere.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhenever I come to you, my Son comes with me, but so does Satan,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>the Blessed Mother once informed them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe devil prowls around us and sets traps. He tries to divide and confuse us so that we will\u00a0detest ourselves and abandon ourselves to him. An invisible war rages all around us, but Our Lady is here to help us win.\u201d There are those who attempt, even in the name of religion, to vilipend it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Spirit Daily\u00a0<\/a>adds:\u00a0Perhaps his attacks should come as no surprise, in that the parish was soon to attract millions, including tens of thousands of priests (inspiring many others to become priests), build what may be the busiest set of confessionals (there are dozens) in the Catholic world (yes, more than\u00a0 the Vatican), and establish an annual \u201cyouth day\u201d in which up to five hundred priests concelebrate (as just a few examples).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Mirjana, in her book unequivocally\u00a0speaks\u00a0about the truth of Satan:<\/ins><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAlthough I rarely speak about the devil,\u00a0I can tell you with certainty that he exists,\u201d writes the visionary. \u201cI saw him once. All I will say is that it was the most terrifying experience of my life, but love drove him away. In that moment, I learned that nothing in this world compares to his ugliness and his hatred for God \u2014 but unlike God\u2019s power, his is limited.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\r\n\u00a0\r\n
