She Will Crush His Head,
& an Era of Peace Will Follow
It is interesting to see that the brilliant Msgr. Henri Delassus, who spoke so fiercely against the errors of Americanism and Modernism at the end of the 19th century, was also already predicting the inevitable defeat of Satan by Our Lady.
However, the terrible abomination of desolation that Msgr. Delassus was already seeing in his times and that we are experiencing today will not be the end of the world, he affirmed. Rather,
it will result in a great triumph of Our Lady, and, following the era of war and persecution that started in the 16th century, "will end in a new era, an era of peace."
It will be the Reign of Mary also prophetically foretold by St. Louis de Montfort the time of the complete restoration and victory of the Immaculate Heart promised by Our Lady at Fatima and Quito.
Msgr. Henri Delassus
For 18 centuries, Satan, aided by those who have made themselves his sons by giving themselves to him – semen tuum [your offspring] – have continually combated Christ's work. And, on the other side, the great Catholic family – semen illius [her offspring] – under the banner of Christ's Mother, the Woman par excellence, terrible as an army set in battle array, has constantly defended Christ's work. She has always won.
The Church sings this beautiful antiphon to the glory of Mary: Cunctas haereses sola interemisti in universo mundo. For Thou, and Thou alone, hast destroyed all the heresies in the entire world.
But here is one heresy that seems to be the final one, because it is the radical negation of the whole supernatural order, going so far as to deny God Himself. And, to make matters worse, this heresy is presently being implanted even in children by a State institution.
This is the last stage of the revolt that began in the 16th century, which was reported in the Apocalypse in this strange way: “I saw a star fall from the Heaven (of the Church) upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.” (Apoc 9:1-2).
This vision of St. John is followed in the same book by another vision, which he describes as follows: “And I saw an Angel coming down, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the Dragon the old Serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.” (Apoc 20:1-2)
Behold the prince of this world cast out, according to the words of Our Lord. Behold his complete and definitive defeat announced from the beginning of the world: Ipsa conteret caput tuum, She shall crush thy head. Behold, by the incarceration of the Enemy of the human race, the possibility of a new era, an era of peace, following the era of war and persecution.
Now then, our Holy Father the Pope, by an innovation dating back only a few years, calls on us to ask for this defeat, this enchainment, this crushing of Satan every day at the Holy Mass. After prayers to the Immaculate Virgin, the victorious Archangel Michael, victorious over Lucifer, is thus invoked: “O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell, Satan and all evil spirits who wander about the world seeking for the ruin of souls.”
To those who are astonished at these 1,800 years of combat without reaching the defeat of Satan, we say: But look at the number of centuries that God determined it would take to prepare for the coming of the Savior. In the sight of the Lord, “one thousand years are like a day.”
In the same way, the definition of the dogma of Immaculate Conception cannot be accused of having failed to fulfill the promises it seemed to make to us. What is a space of 50 years as a prelude to an event that has demanded so many centuries of preparation and that will extend to a period that can be still much longer, for God does nothing without measure? And should we not see, on the contrary, in the upheavals and persecution of these last 50 years the convulsions of Satan who, in 1854, felt the foot of the Immaculata placed on his head to crush it?
The Holy Pontiff Pius IX closed the dogmatic constitution in which he defines the Immaculate Conception of Mary with these words:
“We rest with absolute and complete confidence in the certainty of our hopes. Certissima vero spes et omni prorsus fiducia nitimur.”
And, what is this hope so great, this certainty?
“The all beautiful and Immaculate Blessed Virgin, to whom it has been given to crush the head of the cruel Serpent … by her powerful patronage, will make all the obstacles be removed and all the heresies vanquished, and will strengthen day by day our Holy Mother Church and make her flourish among all peoples and nations, ubicumque gentium, ubicumque locorum; that she will reign from sea to sea, to the ends of the earth, usque ad terminus orbis terrarum, and enjoy genuine peace, tranquility and liberty; so that there will be only one flock under the guidance of the one Shepherd.”
