Let's not let a day pass without praying to the Most Holy Theotokos.  "Theotokos, Virgin, Hail Graceful Mary, the Lord is after you.  Blessed are you as a woman and blessed is the fruit of your womb.  You are the Savior of our souls."

 ~ When I was praying with the rosary one day, the demon came to tempt me and grabbed the rosary.

 He entered the cell where I was praying with the rosary and grabbed it from my hands.  And it disappeared.  I could not bear it, that the demon came and took my rosary.

 I addressed the Most Holy Theotokos and said.  "Most Holy Theotokos, I cannot rest when I think that the demon came and took the rosary from my hands."  I say: "Our Lady, make him return it to me."

 A day passed, nothing... Two days and nothing again... I prayed stubbornly.  On the third day I fell asleep on the couch, the demon comes through the window holding my rosary in his hands.

 And he throws it in my face.  But the rosary fell, it didn't touch me.  I heard a "BOOOOM!"

 I wake up, take the rosary.  I met it.  It was mine.  I say: "Thank you, my Lady, for forcing him to return it to me."  Miracles are many and varied.  Every day to our every prayer She answers.
