THERE ARE SUBJECTS WHICH ARE HARD TO DIGEST, AND YET WE HAVE GOT TO ADDRESS THEM, IF WE WANT TO BE FAIR TO EVERYONE, PARTICULARLY TO OURSELVES. EXORCISM IS ONE OF THESE.
“POPE LEO XIII WROTE AN EXORCISM PRAYER. HE INCLUDED IT IN THE ROMAN RITUAL. HE ASKED BISHOPS AND PRIESTS TO SAY IT RIGHT AFTER EACH MASS AND IN FRONT OF THEIR PARISHIONERS. HE HIMSELF SAID IT SEVERAL TIMES EACH DAY. UNFORTUNATELY, POPE LEO XIII´S ORDER WAS ONLY PUT INTO PRACTICE UP TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL. NOWADAYS, FORTUNATELY, SOME DIOCESES ARE SAYING IT AGAIN AFTER THE LOCAL BISHOP ORDERS THEM TO DO SO, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE RECOMMENDATION FROM ANOTHER GREAT POPE WHO CAME AFTER POPE LEO XIII, THAT IS, JOHN PAUL II. HE RECOMMENDED TO SAY THE EXORCISM PRAYER EVERY DAY WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IN 1994”. BISHOPS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SHOULD BE ASKING LOCAL PRIESTS TO SAY THIS EXORCISM PRAYER, WRITTEN BY POPE LEO XIII, AND RECOMMENDED BY JOHN PAUL II.
“THERE IS A POWERFUL, ANCIENT RITUAL TO PERFORM AN EXORCISM, AND IT GOES AS FOLLOWS :
– FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE GOT TO ASK HIM THESE THREE QUESTIONS: WHO ARE YOU?, AND HOW AND WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO RETREAT FROM HIM? SOMETIMES THE DEVIL REMAINS SILENT, GIVING NO ANSWER, AND OTHER TIMES HE CAN EVEN DARE TO SAY THE PRIEST´S SINS IN A LOUD VOICE. THAT IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT PRIESTS BE IN A STATE OF GRACE AND GO TO CONFESSION EVERY NOW AND THEN.
– THEN, WE HAVE TO ASK THESE THREE SAINTS TO BE PRESENT WHILE WE PERFORM THE EXORCISM. THESE THREE SAINTS ARE SAINT FAUSTINA KOWALSKA, FATHER PÍO PIETRELCINA AND JOHN PAUL II. THE MOMENT WE ASK FOR THEIR PRESENCE THE DEVIL STARTS SUFFERING IMMEDIATELY AND ALL THE WAY RIGHT THROUGH.
– AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE HAVE TO ORDER THE DEVIL TO DO THIS: “RETREAT FROM HIM, IN THE NAME OF JOHN PAUL II”. RIGHT AFTER THIS WE WILL START HEARING THE DEVIL´S SPINE-CHILLING CRIES “.
WE MUST BEAR IN MIND THAT FERVENT PRAYERS FROM ANY COMMITTED LAYPERSON ARE ALSO REALLY VALUABLE , SPECIALLY WHEN WE CONSIDER THAT THE NUMBER OF POSSESSIONS BY THE DEVIL IS GROWING, AND ALSO THE FACT THAT THE FEW PRIESTS WHO PERFORM EXORCISMS ARE KNACKERED. ANY LAYPERSON WILLING TO TAKE PART IN PRAYING FOR ANYONE POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL WILL HAVE TO DO IT UNDER THREE CONDITIONS SO THAT THE AFFECTED PERSON IS RELEASED FROM THE DEVIL DEFINITELY. THESE THREE CONDITIONS ARE: HAVING A STRONG FAITH, PRAYING AND FASTING. ANY LAYPERSON COLLABORATING ON THIS KIND OF PRACTICE HAS TO BE PRAYING DURING THE WHOLE EXORCISM. WHOEVER IS POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL, AND WANTS A PRIEST TO MAKE THE EVIL ONE RETREAT FROM THEM, MUST KNOW THAT THE POSSESSED ONE HAS TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD, IN ORDER TO BE RELIEVED OF THE DEVIL. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS IT IS THEIR FAITH WHICH WILL HEAL THEM. WITHOUT FAITH EXORCISTS CAN DO NOTHING TO HELP AFFECTED ONES. IT IS JESUS CHRIST WHO HEALS, BUT HE CALLS FOR A SOLID FAITH, BECAUSE ONLY A FIRM FAITH SAVES ONE´S LIFE”.
SAY YOU ARE A PERSON WITH A STRONG FAITH AND WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO HELP SOMEONE POSSESSED. WELL, YOU COULD GO THROUGH THESE THREE STEPS BELOW:
– “FASTING ON BREAD AND WATER FOR A WHOLE DAY, AND DOING IT SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL OF OUR BROTHERS.
– CELEBRATING THE EUCHARIST, RUN BY A PRIEST.
– AND PRAYING THE ROSARY A LOT”.
“IF AFTER FOLLOWING THESE THREE STEPS THE AFFECTED PERSON HAS NOT BEEN HEALED YET WE WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THE THREE STEPS FOR SEVEN DAYS. IF THIS SECOND ALTERNATIVE WERE NOT ENOUGH STEP TWO WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE UP TO SEVEN TIMES, THAT IS, THE PRIEST WOULD SEE NO OTHER WAY TO HEAL THE POSSESSED ONE BUT CELEBRATING SEVEN CONSECUTIVE MASSES”. IT IS KEY TO FINISH UP THE RITUAL, REPEATING IT AS MANY TIMES AS NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO GET THE EVIL ONE OUT OF THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL, AND TO STOP THE EVIL ONE FROM PURSUING THE EXORCIST AS WELL.
JESUS CHRIST WAS THE FIRST EXORCIST. “IN MATTHEW (17,14-18) BEFORE PERFORMING AN EXORCISM JESUS CHRIST TALKED TO THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK HIM POSSESSED ONES SO THAT HE COULD HEAL THEM AND TOLD THEM THESE WORDS: “PERVERSE AND SKEPTICAL GENERATION! HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH YOU? BRING THE POSSESSED ONE TO ME”. JESUS CHRIST PRAYED AND COMMANDED THE DEVIL TO RETREAT FROM THE BOY, WHO GOT HEALED THEN AND THERE”.
MARÍA VALLEJO-NÁGERA, RECOMMENDED WRITER, AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC, ” STILL COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY GOD CREATED HELL, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT GOD IS ALL MERCY. FINALLY, SHE DECIDED TO TALK TO MANY PRIESTS AND CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT GOD DID NOT CREATE HELL. HER CONCLUSION WAS CORROBORATED BY FATHER CÁNDIDO, VATICAN EXORCIST PRIEST, WHO PASSED AWAY SOME YEARS AFTER IT. HE WAS FATHER GABRIEL AMORTH´S MASTER FOR MANY YEARS. FATHER CÁNDIDO DARED TO ASK THE DEVIL ABOUT THE CREATION OF HELL DURING ONE OF HIS EXORCISMS. THIS WAS THE TERRIFYING CONVERSATION BETWEEN FATHER CÁNDIDO AND THE DEVIL, AND THE DEVIL´S APPALLING ANSWER:
– FATHER CÁNDIDO: ”RETREAT FROM HIM, GO TO HELL. GOD HAS PREPARED A HOT SPOT FOR YOU”.
– THE DEVIL: ”YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING. IT WAS NOT HIM WHO CREATED HELL. HE DID NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. WE, THE DEVILS, CREATED IT OURSELVES” “.
BEING AWARE OF HOW SERIOUS IT IS TO BE POSSESSED WE SHOULD BE TELLING ALL OUR BROTHERS TO KEEP AWAY FROM SATANIC GROUPS AND WITCHCRAFT BOOKS AT ALL TIMES.
NOW WE ALL KNOW SOMETHING MORE TO BE ON GOD´S SIDE AND FIGHT TOGETHER AGAINST GOD´S ENEMY. LITTLE BY LITTLE WE REALIZE OUR GOAL HERE IS TO DO AS MUCH GOOD AS JESUS CHRIST DID. PRAYING IS DEFINITELY AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO ACCOMPLISH IT. THIS IS WHAT THIS WORLD IS ALL ABOUT. WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE GOD´S TEAM WIN, AND AS WE ALL KNOW, OUR WEAPONS ARE PRAYING, CELEBRATING MASS, RECITING THE ROSARY, GOING TO CONFESSION AND FASTING. THIS IS IT!
