He isnt hounding or persecuting the true Mary, only the demonic apparitions that are deception to the max. Dear Marysecretary, how do you know they are "demonic apparitions?" I mean, what criteria do you use to make such a judgment? What evidence?
I personally have never witnessed a Marian apparition. I have no first-person experience. That being the case, I don't rule them in or rule them out. I do know that other people have experienced Marian apparitions, and have left their witness and testimony of what Mary said on those occasions. Having examined this type of evidence, I have not found a single statement that Mary ever uttered that could give aid or comfort to Satan. On the contrary, she is always pointing to her Son.
Why would Satan take the trouble to put on a deception, when the tool of the deception can't even get her pro-Satan spiel straight? When instead she's constantly "promoting" Satan's great Enemy her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ?
Just wondering. Dear sister, I hope you are healing speedily! You've been in my thoughts and prayers....

Remember, he comes as an angel of light and is very subtle. I’ve read accounts of apparitions where she points more to herself than to her Son. We always need to be aware of his tricks and to test the spirits. I appreciate your prayers, Betty. I get better in some areas and not others. Love, Mary

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ! I have never knowingly had a conversation with an angel, though I do not doubt that I have had such conversations unknowingly.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. - Hebrews 13:2
But if any such angel or apparition appeared, the very first thing I would do is ask "Who is Christ?"
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. I Cor 12:3
Edgar Cayce claimed to have been visited by such a being who told him that Jesus was not Lord. After that visit, Cayce turned against his Christian upbringing. If it had happened to me, I would have told the creature to leave at once.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. - James 4:7
Christians have no reason to fear any such creature.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. John 10:3-5
To God be the glory!
