Exorcist Diary website

Well, Msgr. Rossetti who writes the Diary and performs exorcisms, allows public comments. Anyone interested could ask him why he limits his exorcisms to those he deems possessed. I suspect he would say the Sacrament of the Sick is the Church's answer to physical sicknesses which affect the mind and the body, a better answer in itself, I'd bet, because it is a sacrament, which exorcism is not. There are also deliverance prayers, which need not be said by an exorcist.

I agree inviting a good priest who is an exorcist to pray for a sick person is admirable. Prayer in itself is valuable. But if a person complains of hearing voices, increasing anger and increasingly impulsive behavior, should the first recourse be to an exorcist, or to a doctor who will order brain scans to see if there is a tumor?

 

It would be fun to sit down with him with a beer and listen to the stories that don't make the diary.

 

When I was young several exorcists told me graphic stories. I was 11 years old at the time. Looking back on it I was far, far too young to hear of these things. But I will remember them forever.

I don;t see how people do not believe in the devil, the consequences of his presence are all around us. Late yesterday morning I was called out to get urgent medical notes for a lady with chest pains. I could not get into the secretaries offices as they were locked and called out security to open up.

As I waited a young girl passed me by. She had been very badly beaten and stabbed several times and was high on drugs. There were large blood clots on her head and face. She was out of it and fleeing the hospital pursued by police and security.

I never did get the much needed notes as security were chasing her.

Tonight a drunk driver swung past me as I walked the empty streets. Lest night they beat up a medical crew in an ambulance and wrecked it by driving into them. These were people they were trying to help. In Swindon, England.

There is a bizarre sense of the diabolic in the air all around us. I can feel it, see it.

 

You are right Christy
The sacrament of confession and the sacrament of the sick is the answer, for any sicknesses.
I believe that if a person complains of hearing voices, increasing anger and increasingly impulsive behavior, than their first recourse should be to a priest, not so much an exorcist. I have my own personal reasons for this.

When my second son, third child, was eight years old (he is now in his mid 30's) he took me aside away from his brothers and sisters and spoke to me very seriously about something that was bothering him, he felt ashamed.
He told me that he was hearing voices, the voices told him to hit and punch people. I listened, and did not make light of his revelation to me, I asked questions; he told me that the voices would tell him, to hit out at his teacher and that these voices started about 3 weeks prior, he would not do what the voices told him to do but he was genuinely scared and then he said the voices are telling me to hit you now mum, and he cried.
I told him it was alright and said a small prayer: I immediately took him to our wonderful holy parish priest, (who was not an exorcist) Father O'Hallaran (may he RIP), Father took the situation seriously. Father in his gentle way commenced prayer, he prayed many prayers, most from what looked like a missal, over my son, I remember Father praying a deliverance prayer at one stage, I remained in prayer beside my son and responded to many of the set prayers that Father prayed. I think the entire prayer time would have been 30 minutes or less. My son never heard those voices again!

And in more recent times, one of my grandsons who was 5 years old at the time (he is now eight years old), was diagnosed with autism, and was frankly driving my daughter crazy, this grandson could not speak coherently, became very angry at his brother and sister, did not understand simple concepts such as "are you finished" or "put that blue block on top of the red block" etc, but the worst symptom was that he was not toilet trained, despite many social services help and many strategies utilised, my daughter was told that my grandson would not be able to attend a normal school.
In the late November or early December I made an appointment to take my grandchild to see a very holy parish priest at the parish closest to my daughters residence, I did not know this priest well, but I had attended some masses at this parish and I new the Holy Spirit dwelled in this young priest.
Long story short, Father prayed over my grandson in his presbytery chapel in front of the blessed Eucharist, Father used a missal similar to what Father O'Hallaran did, for my son years before, there were deliverance prayers and father gave my grandson a beautiful Benedictine crucifix, the prayers took about 30 minutes.
My grandson improved from that moment on, his toileting ability improved immediately, his speech and understanding of concepts, he began his schooling and attended a normal school that next January, he is able to read and write and does exceedingly well at school, to me it is another daily miracle that happens through the hands of our most precious priests.

This is what I mean regards the powerful prayers of our priests, we are blessed beyond measure to have our priests, the Holy Spirit heals through their hands.
Dear St Joseph pray for our priests. Amen

 

Yes Padraig evil seems to be greatly increased!
On the flip side graces are also abounding more; I think our prayers today, have been given extra clout ability!

 

What experiences you have had, Josephite! How wonderful it was that you had priests who were willing to use prayer immediately to help.

My experience has been different. I have a friend who had a terrible time with her teenage son (adopted). He began acting out in school, hanging out with troublemakers, taking drugs. She took him to a Charismatic prayer group. They prayed deliverance prayers over him. (They traced his troubles to anger at his abandonment at birth.) These prayers didn't make a dent. Worse, the boy thought he was a failure and evil. Finally a nurse talked the mom into taking her son to a Catholic psychologist. The psychologist worked with him. The son was bipolar. He went into a drug rehab and got proper medication for the bipolar condition. He is in college and is doing well.

Different paths, but God played a part in all these situations.

I remember the archbishop of San Francisco held a public exorcism at Golden Gate Park after a statue of Fr. Junipero Serra was toppled by Black Lives Matter protesters. More of these public exorcisms by our bishops, and more Eucharistic processions, could help so much.

Padraig, have you ever tried using exorcism salt around the hospital?
.

 

Concerning Holy Water, Padraig, my beautiful wife Geralyn, suggested to our pastor, and bought for our Church, an automatic holy water dispenser. We've let the Chancery know, since it squirts into one's hand- no human contact. The word is spreading in our Diocese: https://touchfreeblessings.com/

Geralyn did contact the company and suggest the website not recommend it be put above a Holy Water font, because water that might collect in the font will be used by parishioners- that in turn might produce complaints that will defeat its use during this time of restrictions. Still, the word is spreading and we know other parishes are purchasing one or more depending on how many exits they want to place one at.

Holy Water is coming back!

 

Where there's a will there's a way. Good for Geralyn!

I just read tonight that they are not closing the Churches again thank God.

I found a wonderful Street Christmas Crib near my home. I have starting stopping in front of it to pray at nights. It is really beautiful. Someone went to so much trouble. There are so many good people out there. I would never have thought of building a large expensive crib right out on the street.

 

They have. I have recently been going over the past messages of Our Lady at different sites over in my head. There are so fitting for the times we are living in . There is no doubt Our Lady was getting us ready for what came down the line.

 

There was a woman one time years ago who worked in the hospital who took a sudden violent dislike to me and caused me a lot of trouble. Her behaviour seemed so irrational to me it made me suspect demonic influence. So I spread blessed salt in the office. She went of on long time sick soon after and then retired. I never took this as a coincidence.

 

The Archbishop of San Francisco is truly exceptional

 

I have four children, three girls and a boy, all now in their 30s. Two of the girls are serious Catholics, the eldest one was very forthright in her faith and often tried to convert the three unbelievers (including my husband). Over ten years ago, my non-believing daughter texted me while I was on holiday, asking me to contact her urgently, which I did. She replied that she was OK, she had panicked a bit but it could wait for me to get home. When I did, she told me the tale. She was with two friends, just chilling out when one produced a crystal on a string and said it could tell fortunes by answering yes or no. When the crystal came to Frances, it refused to move. In the end, she handed it to the girl who owned it and said, ask it on my behalf why it won't move. "Are you going to answer Frances?" asked the friend and the crystal moved 'no'. Frances said to ask it if it was because of her sister, and the 'answer' was 'yes'. This is what spooked my daughter, but later she was reassured by the idea that she had been kept safe.

In fact I believe that the faith in our family, and not just the eldest daughter, was the reason Frances was protected from this occultic practice.

It is comforting to know that the prayers of a faith-filled person may protect their family, even if it's not obvious much of the time.

 

I think that is one the main reasons why we have Guardian Angels, to Protect us, which is why we call them , 'Guardians'.

However in order to permit them to work we have to put gas in their tanks. The gas we put in their tanks is prayer. So an active prayer life means an active , strong guardian angel.

But if we don't pray the poor Guardian Angel gets its wings tied, so to speak.

Another good effect of prayer is that we get eyes to see evil when we are face to face with it, with a nudge from our Angels if need be.

Sadly so many people, especially the young would not know evil if it jumped up and bit them.

 

Wow, that is soo reassuring, as we continue to pray for our wayward family and friends!!!

 

This is very powerful. Your daughter was under the protection of family prayer--especially a Mother's prayers. This comforts me greatly because I am praying constantly for protection and conversion for my children.

 

Archbishop Cordileone IS truly exceptional. He came to DC a year ago in the midst of Pachamama scandal and celebrated a Solemn Pontifical Mass at the National Shrine.

 

I hope I am still alive to see so many of these dear Bishops and Cardinals raised to the Altars of the Church as saints by some good, Holy Catholic Pope.

 

Amen.

 

Don't hold your breath. Looks like we could be in for a series of Pachamama popes now that this headbanger is being given a platform: https://www.ncregister.com/blog/leonardo-boff-the-pope-s-radical-ecotheologian
The information in the article is disheartening enough but the information supplied in the Comments section is downright depressing.

The speculated resignation can't come soon enough for me. Sure, the successor will likely be as bad if not worse, but eventually we will get a holy Pope again so better to get the dregs of the spirit of Vatican 11 over and done with as quickly as possible.

Our priest says that shutting us out of Mass is a good thing because it serves the common good. I think he called it an act of love but I might have misheard that part. I didn't mishear him asking us to donate online because funds are low. I suppose we have to keep the lights on in the church for the benefit of him, the sacristan and the singer.

I watched Mass online from England today. Their parishioners weren't locked out.
