I don't think anyone is surprised by this. One of the men shot the other night in the arm was wearing a mask handkerchief that had the baphomet inside the inverted pentagram on it. They are using the deaths of these people to summon demons and declaring their allegiances openly via signs and symbols and then trying to dupe people ignorant of them into doing it as well. My mom has a friend who has openly embraced marxism now for decades. She has been frequenting the riots in the Portland area and I warned my mom that I had a very bad feeling that she was going to be hurt if she continued to do so. My mom just spent the day with her and I swear that every time she does this I can not have a conversation with her that does not turn south and end up with her angry and spiteful towards me. It is like she is another person completely.
Prayers for you mom. There is a really wonderfuland uplifting series on utube I am watching at the moment. I watch at least one every day to put me in a good mood. They are called, #I walked away#. I watched a trrly wonderful one yesterday by a young black man. So much wisdom and compassion from such a young man. It is testimony's from people who walked away from this awful stuff.
Your poor mother is unprotected from these baleful spirits that are prowling about. I think they are catching like a virus. Being with this woman places your mom in a vulnerable position. She probably has no idea why she gets spiteful. What a world we are in.
You are right, she has no idea. She says the darnedest things as well when she is like this. Terribly hurtful things to drive you away. She has always had a very hard time discerning these things. I too go through this from time to time and that is why Ignatian discernment of spirits and spiritual exercises is such a powerful tool to add to ones life. I only wish she would accept the truth but she always has been a rigid feminist above all things. I fear that she will always be outside looking in and never come to know peace. It makes me sad at times but all one can do is pray and offer her up to the Grace of God.
Without the proper discernment and blessed sacramentals, it's easy to pick up a demon, like catching a cold. I don't mean possession, but the demon trails a person around. At least that has been my experience. So I agree with what AED just said. Sometimes I just have to pray that Jesus will take the demon to the foot of the Cross, get it out of here.
I read a lovely book about a Spanish mother during their Civil War. Her cause for Canonistation is going ahead, there is no doubt she was a saint. She lived in the Asturias Mining Region in Northern Spain during the Spanish Civil War. The Communists were killing Catholics like Crazy in the Region but they did not kill her because she was so highly repsected. She had always done wonderful works of Charity. But it struck me that she would never hear bitter or hateful words about the Communists from anyone. I thought this was wonderful consideirng all the atrocities and mass murders she had been witness too. She reminds me not to be bitter or angry, that love is always possible to overcome hate.
Is there some way you could sprinkle holy water in her house? Or give her a miraculous medal to wear?
I do have some blessed medals and I have been trying to get her to come over for a visit. If all else fails I will mail it to her.
If your mom has been associating with evil its to be expected that she would feel threatened by a person of faith such as yourself Don
I will need to watch this again, because it it is so edifying. Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen is the man of our times. He knew what was coming, the specifics of our defence he laid out for us all! Here we are now, vulnerably, attacked, bleeding and he reiterates that we have the Blessed Virgin as our commander in chief! so what are we afraid of, he exhorts us to trust and to prayer! Thank you dearest Bishop Fulton Sheen for leading your sheep and building up our morale, because we are not Alone, we are not defeated we have the ultimate victory even now! for we have the Cross of God, we have His weapon, we have that which defeated evil.
Saints are so timeless. Unlike the rest of us they are not confused but have the eyes and wings of Eagles. Holiness causes them to fly above the noise and confusion of the battles here on Earth.
We are all saints...some by the grace of God. Accept the cross and all that it entails. Most of us don’t like the suffering!
I will keep you both in my prayers. I cannot imagine dealing with this DIRECTLY ... especially a family member.
Yes that is her, wonderful woman. It is one thing to be forgiving and loving whenever things are peaceful, quite another in times of war and strife. She seemed to never say or want to hear a bad word about anyone. Very saintly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Praxedes-Dominican-1886-1936-Servant-Fernandez/dp/0895553090 Very Irish looking with that head of red hair.
