CCC 2853

Victory over the "prince of this world"¹⁶⁹ Jn 14:30. was won once for all at the Hour when Jesus freely gave himself up to death to give us his life. This is the judgment of this world, and the prince of this world is "cast out."¹⁷⁰ Jn 12:31; Rev 12:10. "He pursued the woman"¹⁷¹ Rev 12:13-16. but had no hold on her: the new Eve, "full of grace" of the Holy Spirit, is preserved from sin and the corruption of death (the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God, Mary, ever virgin). "Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring."¹⁷² Rev 12:17. Therefore the Spirit and the Church pray: "Come, Lord Jesus,"¹⁷³ Rev 22:17,20. since his coming will deliver us from the Evil One.
