My Spiritual Director did an exorcism one time. It was a young drug dealer one of two young men who had sold their souls to the devil. In return he had offered them protection for their drug dealing operation. But the priest made one comment about this is true. Why would anyone think that the devil would keep his word since he was a liar from the beginning ? Then he laughed. It is quite true. There is a kind of bizarre madness about it all. It is not logical.
One thing strikes me about Jesus when He talks about or encounters demons. He treats and talks about them as real beings.
Praying now. I see a local Archbishop went out and prayed for protection. I just think that is wonderful . I did not think there were any Bishops left with it in them. That storm has a really, really strange name! https://www.fox10tv.com/2026/10/08/...-over-mobile-bay-hurricane-isaias-approaches/
I think some of them do these things to annoy people. Their unbelief blinds them from the reality that they are shooting themselves in both feet. We believers might be shocked, but we can discuss it among ourselves and we can pray. They aren’t upsetting us as much as they think, but they’re really playing with fire for themselves.
Just saw news of a massive earthquake off coast of Panama. 7.6! I think its in a more rural area of the country and I hope it will not cause much damage. It certainly is a sign that a Cat 3 hurricane and 7.6 EQ hit on same day. https://www.foxnews.com/world/massi...fficials-investigate-potential-tsunami-threat
Watching BBC right now-thanks to the wife, I only watch hurling on TV-unsurprisingly, on what is seemingly a ‘humorous’ programme, it was laden with the most unconvincing anti-Russian propaganda. Would I cry if an Oreshnik went astray and landed on BBC HQ? Can’t say I would, for sure. In the meantime, the missus has changed over to a programme featuring pigs and Frisian cows-reality, thank God!
