<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Blessed Bartolo Longo</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <span style="color: black;">Blessed Bartolo </span></span></span></span>was raised
in a faithful Catholic family. Unlike most saints, Bartolo spent his misbegotten 20's as a Satanic priest.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Born in 1841, Bartolo Longo lost his
mother when he was only 10. From that time, he grew more and more
distant from his Catholic faith. When he began university studies in
Naples, at the University where St. Thomas Aquinas himself had studied,
he was eager to enter fully into the experience of a secular university.
In mid-19</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th-</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">century Italy, that meant anti-clericalism, atheism, and ultimately the occult. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bartolo began attending séances,
experimented with drugs, and even got involved in orgies. He lured
people away from the Catholic faith, publicly ridiculing the Church of
his childhood. Before long, the newly minted lawyer was “ordained” a
priest of Satan. As a Satanic bishop intoned blasphemous words, the
walls of the room shook and disembodied screams terrified those in
attendance.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because of the influnce of the evil one, Bartolo soon became mired in paranoia and dark visions. Mercilessly driven to madness by the infernal spirits who tormented him night and day Bartolo bgan to desire death over life. Even with these hellish attacks Bartolo clung to his Satanic practices. Thankfully for him his family was relentless in their daily prayers for his deliverance from the enemy. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">As with the great Saint Augustine, the
faithful prayers of Bartolo’s family finally tore down the wall of
anger and sin that Bartolo had built around himself. One night, he heard
the voice of his dead father crying out to him, <i><span style="color: red;">“My dear son return to the one true and Almighty God!” </span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></span><img alt="Image result for Blessed Bartolo Longo" class="irc_mut iRVBV4tJCNdU-HwpH6ZlgJaI" height="359" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTUwlCmYLRv7VXrqwgNNkRPXwjwTw1VWefgaWqBjICECtb4sycr8A" style="margin-top: 82px;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shaken, Bartolo visited a friend who
lived nearby, Professor Vincenzo Pepe. When Pepe realized what had
become of Bartolo, he cried, <span style="color: red;">“Are you mad? Do you want to die in an insane asylum and
be damned forever?”</span> Pepe’s courage in
pointing out the self-inflicted mortal danger his friend was in woke Bartolo from his demonic fog. It was only then that he agreed to meet with a Dominican priest,
Fr. Alberto Radente. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fr. Alberto worked slowly on the young
lawyer, encouraging him to make a thorough confession. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">After a month of
stringent moral and spiritual direction, Bartolo was finally absolved and began his work of drawing
people back to Christ. He stood up in the middle of cafés and student
parties and denounced occult practices. He served the poor and
instructed the ignorant; after six years of such work, he pronounced
vows as a lay Dominican, on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then, cleansed and consecrated,
Bartolo visited one last séance. He walked in, held up a rosary and
called out, <i><span style="color: red;">“I renounce spiritualism because it is nothing but a maze of
error and falsehood.”</span></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But for all he had been absolved,
Bartolo, like most of us, struggled with memories of his past. He felt
unworthy of God’s forgiveness, certain that he was impure, permanently
marred by his sin. One day, while collecting rent from the destitute
farmers around Pompeii, Bartolo felt hounded by his former way of life. Privately, to himself Bortolo despaired...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Despite my repentance, I thought: I
am still consecrated to Satan, and I am still his slave and property as
he awaits me in Hell. As I pondered over my condition, I experienced a
deep sense of despair and almost committed suicide.”</span></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In that moment, Bartolo was reminded of the simple and pure
rosary of his childhood. He was reminded of the love of the Blessed Mother. He
felt Our Lady tell him that his path to heaven was through teaching
others to pray the Rosary.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img alt="Image result for Blessed Bartolo Longo" class="irc_mi" height="640" src="http://www.queenship.org/mm5/graphics/00000001/3349_72.jpg" style="margin-top: 98px;" width="395" /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bartolo moved to Pompeii, where he
began Rosary groups, organized Marian processions, and began work on a
shrine to Our Lady of the Rosary. His work was funded by the Countess di
Fusco, with whom he worked so closely that rumors began to spread about
the nature of their relationship. Though Bartolo had taken a private
vow of chastity, he was encouraged by Pope Leo XIII to marry the
countess for the sake of the work; the two entered into a celibate
marriage and continued to serve the poor.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more than 50 years, Bartolo
preached the Rosary, founded schools for the poor, established
orphanages for the children of criminals, and transformed a city of
death to a city dedicated to the living Mother of God. At his
beatification, St. John Paul II, himself perhaps the most Marian pope
since St. Peter, proclaimed Blessed Bartolo Longo “a Man of Mary.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blessed Bartolo Longo was a vile, degenerate, blasphemous Satanic priest. But this is his legacy: blessed, soon canonized. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for Isaac Hecker" class="irc_mi" src="http://agapecommunity.org/2015redesign/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/hecker-card.gif" style="margin-top: 0px;" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Born in New York City in 1819, Isaac Hecker grew up in a
German-Methodist household. He would stick with this religion only until
his teenage years, when he started to distance himself from the
Christian denomination. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">At the time Hecker was more interested in work and politics, though
he still considered himself a Christian. Together with his two brothers,
Hecker devoted all of his time to a political campaign during 1837.
However, the campaign failed and left Hecker with a sour taste for
politics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He continued to struggle with God’s plan for his life, and tried to
search for his place in the world. At first he turned to philosophy and
studied such figures as Hegel and Kant. Then in 1842 Hecker started to
have mystical visions. He wrote about one such heavenly vision that changed his approach to the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><blockquote>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><em>I saw (I cannot say I dreamt for it was quite
different from dreaming since I was seated on the side of my bed) a
beautiful angelic, pure being and myself standing alongside of her,
feeling a most heavenly pure joy. And it was if our bodies were luminous
and they gave forth a moon-like light, which I felt sprang from the joy
that we experienced. </em></span></span></blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The vision only made him more restless and he turned to a popular
Christian preacher and philosopher at the time named Orestes Brownson.
Brownson mentored Hecker for several years, but then started to question
his own religion and began investigating the Catholic Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for Isaac Hecker" class="irc_mi" height="624" src="https://www.paulist.org/sites/paulist/files/styles/lead_photo/public/null/Hecker%20Prayer%20Card.jpg?itok=RIuvNV8e" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="381" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Influenced by Brownson’s change of direction, Hecker also researched
the Catholic Church and felt drawn to it. Through a series of events and
encounters, Hecker felt God calling him to be a Catholic priest.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the meantime Brownson converted to the Catholic faith, marking the
final straw in Hecker’s search for God. Hecker met with a local bishop
who helped him make the final leap of faith.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After a few weeks of religious instruction Hecker was baptized in the
Catholic Church in 1844. He wrote afterwards, “The Catholic Church is
my star, which will lead me to my life, my destiny, my purpose.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hecker eventually joined the Redemptorists and was ordained a priest
in 1849. After spending several years abroad, Hecker returned to New
York City and gave parish missions across the nation. He was an

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A few years later Hecker felt called to establish a new Redemptorist
house in America. His request was denied and his apparent “disobedience”
resulted in an expulsion from the order. At first he fought the
expulsion in Rome, but then discussed with the Holy Father the founding
of a new order that would work for the conversion of America.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Upon his return to the United States in 1858 Hecker gathered his
friends and established the Missionary Priests of St. Paul the Apostle,
more commonly known as the Paulists. It was a new congregation devoted
to preaching missions and featured an apostolate to non-Catholics.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For the rest of his life Hecker devoted himself to preaching and
spreading the Gospel through the modern means of technology. He died on
December 22, 1888, in Manhattan.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hecker’s extraordinary life inspired many after his death, and his
cause for canonization was officially opened on January 25, 2008.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">History relates many cases in which a saint or a blessed has been
forced to confront the devil, and has suffered physical torture.
Sometimes, Satan has possessed their body; other times, he has vexed or
obsessed them.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In his book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/9887725986/?tag=aleteia-20"><em>Santi indemoniati</em></a> <em>(Possessed Saints),</em> author Marco Tosatti lists numerous such cases. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>1) JUAN DEL CASTILLO’S BLASPHEMY</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fr. Juan del Castillo, a 16th century Jesuit, blasphemed—against his
own will—because he was obsessed by the devil. “The devil,” writes
fellow Jesuit, Fr. Auguste Poulain, “also used the hands of that holy
religious to strike or burn images of the Blessed Virgin.”</span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>2) MARY MAGDALENE DE PAZZI’S KNIFE</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Many saints and beati, afflicted by the devil, have been tempted to
commit suicide. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, who lived in the second half of
the 16th century and was known for her ecstasies, left the choir on the
night of the feast of St. Andrew (November 30), and ran into the
kitchen to grab a knife and try to kill herself. On another occasion,
fearing she might once again yield to that impulse, she had herself tied
up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>3) EGIDIUS OF PORTUGAL’S BLOOD PACT</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Blessed Egidius of Portugal, who loved science and necromancy, made a
pact with the devil during one of his voyages. “He renounced his faith
with an abominable oath, and he sold his soul with a pact written with
his own hand, and signed with his blood,” wrote his biographer,
Dominican friar André de Resende.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One day, a ghost appeared to him in the form of a knight in armor who
commanded him to change his life. Egidius, terrified, asked the Lord
for forgiveness, and from then on, he embarked on a spiritual journey
that led him to become a friar.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For seven years this beato, who lived in the 13th century, was
tormented by demons who reminded him of his past and of the pact he had
signed and not fulfilled. One day, at last, through the intercession of
the Virgin Mary, the pact was dissolved, and the demons left Egidius in
peace forever.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> </strong><strong></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Diabolic vexations infested the life of St. Colette of Corbie, who
was born in 1380. She, the great reformer of the Poor Clares, was the
hostage of demons who used natural means to disturb her throughout her
mystical relationship with God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pierre de Valles, the holy woman’s confessor, recounts: “She felt an
instinctive revulsion towards ants. At the convent of Besancon, the
demons persecuted her, often filling the places she frequented and the
things she liked, such as the oratory and her books, with those
bothersome little insects. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Thousands of these bugs would gather, and
would then disappear with the same speed with which they had appeared.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In Languedoc, these persecutions took the form of flies. In Picardy,
her bed and oratory were invaded by snails, turtles, and other reptiles.
Among these persecutions, the most intense lasted for the seven years
leading up to her death. When she prayed, demons appeared to her under
the appearance of flies, leopards, lions, and other beasts of every
kind. Many of her sisters in religion also saw those figures.</span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>5) NICHOLAS OF TOLENTINO’S BEATING</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">St. Nicholas of Tolentino, of the Hermits of Saint Augustine, was the
worker of many miracles—30 of which were judged authentic by the
commission that investigated his cause of beatification. Not even he was
free of remarkable annoyances of demonic origin. One evening, while at
prayer in his oratory, he saw the devil blow out the lamp, throw it to
the ground, and smash it.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">His contemporary and biographer, Friar Peter of Monte Rubiano,
recounts these vexations. He tells how the evil spirit set up residence
on the roof of Saint Nicholas’ oratory, imitating the cries of various
wild beasts, and turning over the tiles on the roof as if wanting to
turn the entire thing upside-down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Seeing that the saint continued to pray, the demon beat him fiercely,
to the point where the bruises were visible all over his body for days.
Once, the demon who tormented him declared, “I am Belial, and I have
been sent to you as a prod for your holiness.” St. Nicholas, who died in
1305, was canonized in 1446.</span></div>

</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>6) SAINT ALPHONSUS RODRIGUEZ</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">St. Alphonsus Rodriguez is the patron saint of porters and ushers.
After having received great blessings, he was attacked, both by violent
temptations and by physical assaults, starting around the age of 50 and
continuing for seven years. “At times,” writes Alban Butler, his
biographer, “he was so oppressed, and pursued so closely, that it was
impossible to describe his suffering.” Sometimes, he heard infernal
conversations, and witnessed demons blaspheming against God. Other
times, he was at the point of dying from suffocation, because the evil
spirits were squeezing his throat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Generally, these events started at midnight, while he was asleep. St.
Alphonsus would be awakened by the great din. Then, the demons would
begin to dance around him, jump on top of him, and grab him by the arm
to try to force him to do evil, without him being able to get rid of
them. Those were years of great suffering.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>7) SAINT IGNATIUS’ STRANGULATION</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">St. Ignatius of Loyola also had to fight against Satan. Paul Verdun
writes, “Giampaolo was Saint Ignatius’ roommate for many years. Once,
while sleeping one night in a bed near the saint’s, he was woken up by
the sound of blows, and of cries from the founder of the Company of
Jesus. He arose, and asked his roommate what was happening. But St.
Ignatius, without speaking, ordered him to go back to bed and sleep. The
spirit of darkness had tried, on that occasion, to strangle the saint,
who was left voiceless for many days.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here follows excerpts from private dialogues between Satan and Fr. Gabriele Amorth,
an exorcist in Rome who died recently at the age of 91. Satan and this
priest confronted each other on many occasions. Fr. Amorth heard it
all—difficult, harsh discussions, and of course full of lies, because
the devil’s action is based on lies.</span></div>

he would leave the possessed girl’s body. The devil replied that he
would remain until December 8. This turned out not to be true, and when
Fr. Gabriele reproached him for the lie, the devil said in reply, ‘</span><b>Haven’t they ever told you I’m a liar?”</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Faro di Roma, September 2016).</span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fr. Gabriele Amorth confided</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “exorcists interrogate the devil and get answers out of him.” But
if the devil is the prince of lies, what use is it to interrogate him?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s true that we sift through the devil’s answers afterwards; perhaps the Lord forces the devil to tell the truth </span><b>to demonstrate that Satan has been defeated by Christ, and is also forced to obey Christ’s followers</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> when they act in His name.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Fr. Amorth, the evil one
often “expressly declares that he is being forced to speak, which is
something he will do everything to avoid. But, for example, when he is
forced to reveal his name, it is a great humiliation for him—a sign of
defeat. But woe to the exorcist who gets lost in questions of curiosity
(which the Rite expressly forbids) or if he lets himself be guided by
the devil in a conversation! Precisely because he is a master of lies, </span><b>Satan is humiliated when God forces him to tell the truth.”</b></span></div>

answered, <i><span style="color: red;">‘I willfully rebelled against Almighty God the Supreme Creator; thus, I showed that I am stronger
than He is.’ </span></i></span><i><span style="color: red;">Therefore, for the Demons, rebellion is a sign of victory and superiority.”</span></i></span></div>

was terribly cold. Father Candido had also warned me ahead of time about
these sudden changes in temperature, but it’s one thing to hear certain
things talked about, and another to experience them yourself. I tried
to concentrate. I closed my eyes and continued my prayer by rote.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for Marie Rose Ferron –American Mystic" class="irc_mi" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQzW-7fx1coxSvwO9F1uKg-KwS-qIwvJnyG9RQvnxDSFaCgpu0-DwFeIoHFwrMgB6C-nSb-G3y6o1EvaaIReAbhHF3b7xBtDMMYJKQwR48AyyyjgWJFAYzMg4ZzBiVFeDYvH3zyoEvyVE/s640/Marie-Rose-Ferron-42.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="456" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A few years before, Rose met a priest who taught her how to suffer and
sacrifice out of love for God, so that by the time Bishop Hickey called
on her, when she was twenty-five, she had completely accepted the
mystery of suffering for herself, and could even say that she hungered
and thirsted after it, and that suffering was to be her state of life.
And, by this time she had been bed-ridden for five years.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
And so, the bishop called on the Ferron home because he knew he would
meet there a victim who would be willing to offer herself as a living
holocaust for his diocese. On her part, Rose recognized "a good heart"
in the bishop. He felt so much at ease in her presence that all
resistance broke down and he wept bitterly. <b>"<span style="color: red;">My child,"</span> </b>he pleaded, <b><span style="color: red;">"will you suffer for the Diocese of Providence, for its priests, and for those I was obliged to punish?</span>"</b></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><b><i>"I will do whatever you ask,"</i></b></span> answered Rose without hesitation. <b><i><span style="color: red;">"I
am willing to suffer as you wish and for the return of those you have
excommunicated. I accept at once. It will be my mission to pray for
their return.</span>"</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i><img alt="Image result for Marie Rose Ferron –American Mystic" class="irc_mi" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDYx2jAryHqwYoZwmUpBc0etcxeuSy_91i1LNd2WFcbGZiksa-0O0Em3wJOeNM7vpK8Yn2IS2D-pewxKUuXVNkXQE6NvBcQaBv-yu3qTV-k0Wh7t2_MJIHgwhj_MDf_wEuj9JduU1R_Wg/s640/Marie-Rose-Ferron-age18.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="560" /> </i></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
The bishop thought that Rose should reflect some time before complying
with what might become a veritable martyrdom. He accordingly left the
room for a few minutes, in order that she might consider the full import
of her acceptance. When he came back, Rose reiterated her consent.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Calm began to settle slowly over the Sentinelliste battlefield. Many
thought it was the calm before a fresh storm. A lone victim was however
obtaining graces for an entire diocese through unusual, mystical
suffering. Once in ecstasy, she was heard to plead: <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"Take away my speech, if that will help. Take my eyes! Take my mind!"</b></i> </span>And with her eyes glistening with tears, she added: <span style="color: red;"><b><i>"Take
everything I have and cherish. I am ready to suffer until the last one
is converted, even one hundred years if You so wish it!"</i></b></span> And later she said- <span style="color: red;"><b><i>"This affair will bear good fruit for both sides, and with Jesus I rejoice because of it."</i></b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Remarkably, one by one, all fifty-six rebel children of the Church bowed in submission and obedience to their Bishop.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
One day, when Rose was twenty-two, the house was filled with the odor of
freshly baked bread. Her younger sister, who was munching a crumb,
invited her to have some: <i>"Oh, Rose, it is delicious!"<br /><span style="color: red;">"I can't,"</span></i><span style="color: red;"> </span>answered Rose, who already knew the exigencies of her stomach. "If I do, I may die."</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>"To die from eating or from hunger-what's the difference? Try at least."</i><br />
Rose tried and suffered as if she were actually to die.<br />
When all was over, her left hand was deformed. It was to remain crippled until her death.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
What is even more remarkable is that thereafter she partook of no more
solid food. Rose herself attested to this fact, as did also her mother.
For eleven years, until her death, Rose took only liquid food and even
this she was at times unable to keep. Realizing that she could receive
Holy Communion, a priest once gave her some tiny unconsecrated
particles. They promptly made her ill. Moreover, four years before her
death, she did not even drink water during a period of three months. But
Rose felt hunger and thirst, as all who dwelt in contact with her very
well knew. It was at the price of long and protracted craving for food
that she was able to subsist on a diet that would have been insufficient
for an ordinary person.</span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for Marie Rose Ferron –American Mystic" class="irc_mi" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiVqXF2oWi96iu8S_5VlCuLvM6CroxAeSsc30-1-FQmQ8xxVV8i65H8CF-LV6a4VpNn3gPOIVBEKI-FH7rmsXq1rz_5tpRGrU3yBRLa4NjpXnH2UUYFm4NvICti1Jr8V-qaa0z8tqSLHQ/s640/Marie-Rose-Ferron-booklet.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="416" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Little Rose," had begun her role of victim without foreseeing what type
of suffering was in store for her, nor what unusual signs God was to
work in her martyred body. Her abstinence from food and drink was only
the beginning of many extraordinary mystical phenomena and of deep
suffering. Throughout it all, she remained docile to authority, both
medical and spiritual, and with delicate discretion tried ever to avoid
publicity.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
A detailed biography is not the object of this brief sketch of the life
of Marie Rose Ferron. Her trials, her love for suffering, her stigmata
and the content of her ecstasies and visions will be treated somewhat in
detail, because they alone bring into relief her intimacy with Christ
crucified. Other phenomena of her mystic life can be found in the
excellent biography <i><b>"She Wears a Crown of Thorns"</b></i>
by the Reverend O. A. Boyer. Suffice it to state here in passing that
while in ecstasy she could not be lifted, even by 4 grown men, although
she weighed not more than seventy-five pounds. Moreover, her body
remained rigid, except when she spoke or wanted to use her hands while
in conversation with Christ.</span>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Her Devotion to the Eucharist</b><br />
Bishop Hickey authorized a private oratory next to Rose's room. When
Mass was said there, especially on the feasts of the Blessed Virgin,
Rose would drop into ecstasy at the opening prayers but she always
revived at the moment of Communion. Generally, the instant she received
the Sacred Host, her head fell back and she again drifted into ecstasy.
Not the slightest movement of her throat muscles indicated that she was
swallowing the Host, although It disappeared instantaneously. Many
priests noted this fact, even one who did not to believe in the mystical
authenticity of Rose's experiences.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
In fact, Rose's love for the Eucharist was intense. She had been
accustomed to the daily reception of Communion, when suddenly it became
impossible for her to communicate more than once a week. Rose suffered
acutely from this isolation from her Eucharistic Lord. Once the priest
was absent for two weeks. She was counting the days one by one until the
Saturday when he was again to bring her the Blessed Sacrament, only to
be told that morning that he was not coming. <span style="color: blue;"><i>"When later she spoke of the incident,"</i></span> writes her biographer, <span style="color: blue;"><i>"her
eyes filled with tears and as they ran down her cheeks, the intense
pain that they betrayed was revealed in her words. The words were simple
and few, but they could move a dead man's bones. I am not sensitive,
but this time I felt an acute pain all through me. . . . I shall never
need a greater proof of the martyrdom that girl suffered when deprived
of the Blessed Sacrament."</i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
When the priest learned that Rose lay constantly on a board to which she
was tied, he was so profoundly impressed that he made arrangements for
bringing her Holy Communion twice a week. During this same period, Rose
became completely separated from the three priests from whom she had
sought spiritual direction. Her isolation from them and the infrequency
of the Eucharistic visits of her Spouse lasted several years. They were
years of living by pure faith, amid deep sufferings, both physical and
mental. For the remainder of her life, she was to wonder how she had
been able to survive without having lost her mind. But she clung to the
anchor of Faith and the Providence of God and found security in utter
docility to her confessor's authority.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Her Stigmata and wounds of the Scourging</b><br />
Rose Ferron was one of the most completely stigmatized persons on
record. Whereas perhaps only thirty or so have borne the five wounds <i>and</i> the crowning of thorns, Rose had all of these, as well as the shoulder wound and the bleeding from the eyes.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
The wounds of Christ's scourging had appeared now and then during the
latter part of 1926. But it was during Lent of 1927, a few months before
Bishop Hickey sought in Rose a victim for his diocese, that these
wounds began to appear regularly every Friday. The red and purple
stripes were clearly visible on her arm, which seemed to have been
lashed with whips. The wounds swelled and hurt like burns.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Two days later, before the eyes of her biographer and another priest,
the wounds of the nails appeared in her hands. Her feet too bore the
marks of the nails. Rose had the sensation that her blood did not
circulate beyond the stigmata in her feet, but the blood "streamed
forth" from them. In describing the piercing of the muscles of her
hands, Rose explained: <span style="color: red;"><b><i>"I feel them tearing apart; they seem to separate into shreds and to be drawn aside."</i></b></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for the passion of the Christ" class="irc_mi" src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/1OpTk3qPCNm7nnEH0Do137dGsCk.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A priest who examined these wounds in 1930 wrote:</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"The blood gave a sweet-smelling odor unknown to me,
somewhat like a perfume; my hands became saturated with it....It was not
a transitory smell, since the odor persisted till the following
morning."</b></i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
The stigmata of the heart began during the Lenten season of 1929. They
brought such sharp pains to Rose that she sometimes fainted into
unconsciousness. She said that the interior pain was "frightful." At
times the pain was felt intensely in her back, <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"where the lance seems to have stopped."</b></i>,</span> she said.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The wounds of the crown of thorns resembled, in the mother's words, <i>"two heavy cords that encircle her head."</i> The holes made by the thorns themselves made Rose feel <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"as if her head were breaking open."</b></i></span>
These thorn stigmata never disappeared completely. They were still
visible after her death, as shown in the photograph to the left</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Finally Rose suffered from the shoulder wound, which likewise brought her acute pain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for the passion of the Christ" class="irc_mi" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/05/01/article-1382515-03DAA0880000044D-934_468x478.jpg" height="640" style="margin-top: 76px;" width="626" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The five wounds and the crown "came to stay," but the others appeared
every Friday and disappeared on Saturday as rapidly as they had come,
without leaving a trace. On Fridays, when the bleeding would begin, Mrs.
Ferron would lock the doors of the house and would admit only a few
visitors who had obtained special permission.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Rose was embarrassed at feeling herself an object of study and would
keep the stigmata under cover. Some of the visitors fainted upon seeing
Rose in agony. Such incidents caused great annoyance to the bereaved
mother. <i>"It is hard to keep the people out,"</i> she once remarked, <i>"but when they faint, it's far worse to nurse them back."</i></span>
<br />

The capacity for victim-suffering in this poor little Rose, crushed
under foot as it were by her divine Gardener, was not yet filled. Like
Him she had suffered from a scourging, from being pierced as if by
nails, wounded in her heart, crowned with the piercing of thorns, and
bruised on her shoulder. Yet had she to shed still more blood in order
to fulfill her mission as victim in union with Him. But then, He had
preceded her. Meek as a lamb, He Himself had been led to slaughter. In
Him therefore Rose found strength. She found even love for the passion
He was completing in her reduced body. As the story of pain unfolded
with the months and the years, the realization that she was a victim
grew more vivid. She knew that she was being tortured in the place of
others and she accepted her vocation of bearing in her own body the
physical pain spared them. In that, too, she resembled her Master, whose
love prompted Him to bear mankind's punishment in its stead.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b><span style="color: blue;">"Dear Rose,"</span> </b></i>a priest once asked her in a lapse during her Friday ecstasy,<span style="color: blue;"> <i><b>"you suffer so much! How is it that Jesus whom you love so much, as you told me yesterday, treats you in such a severe way?"</b></i>"</span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b><span style="color: blue;">"The caresses of Heaven are not like those of earth,"</span> </b></i>she said simply, and then fell back into ecstasy and "in indescribable suffering."</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
And on another occasion Little Rose exclaimed <b><i><span style="color: blue;">"Oh Jesus, the happiness I have in loving You far outweighs the martyrdom that I endure". </span></i></b>And in a letter to a friend Marie Rose wrote: <i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;">"I will pray hard and my suffering will always be for souls," </i>she vowed to a close friend.<i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"> "I
give myself to our dear Jesus to do with me Just as He pleases... I
must ask you to pray for a very important intention. It is for souls,
and at any price I must have these. They are so dear to God. Pray, pray,
pray!" </i>and again another time she said: <i style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;">"To save souls one should do anything. So together let us help Him, the One that we love, to give Him many souls!"</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>The flow of blood from her eyes and mouth- her conformity to the Holy Face</b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>"Tell Father Boyer that the night before last, for the first time, Rose's eyes bled and the blood dropped like tears."</i></b>
Thus spoke Rose's sister to a friend to whom she telephoned one day in
August, 1929, referring to the most impressive, the most heart-rending,
sufferings of Little Rose.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
In the same month, the physician attending Rose was overwhelmed with emotion at this sight and exclaimed to all present: <i><b>"It is terrible! Believe all you see! She is a wonder."</b></i> Rose was also bleeding profusely from her mouth at the time.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Rose once asked of her mother and a couple of visitors near the bed: <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"How is it that I lose so much blood, when I have so little?"</b></i></span><br />
Hardly had she uttered this question when she lapsed into ecstasy and began to speak: <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"Oh! It is Your Blood that gushes from me! As for me, I am nothing, nothing, my Jesus!"</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><i><b><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi" height="360" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cmsa5I4Lka4/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="640" /> </b></i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
At the end of this month of August, a friend wrote in testimony of these unnatural hemorrhages: <span style="color: blue;"><i>"After
seeing my dear little Rose this morning, my heart is oppressed and I am
thinking only of her. Oh, if you were to see her! This morning at seven
o'clock, her mother called me and asked if I could come over. I arrived
at 7:45 A.M .... , and I heard her say to me:</i></span> <span style="color: red;"><b>'Don't fear, Madame.'</b></span> <span style="color: blue;"><i>She
was simply one blot of blood; her poor eyes were bleeding; her entire
face was unrecognisable ... ; she suffered so much that she could not
keep her head still. It is the assistant who brings her Communion. He is
so affected that he cannot speak and leaves right away. . . .
Recognizing the doctor who substituted for the regular physician, I told
him before he entered:</i></span> <span style="color: red;"><b>'You will be surprised at seeing her this morning; she is all covered with blood.'</b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>How surprised he was! He could not speak and Rose told him</i>: <span style="color: red;"><b><i>'Don't talk about it, Doctor, please.'</i></b></span><br /><i>'No, certainly, don't fear,'</i><i>he answered, and she removed
her headdress to show him her head. . . He could not and did not want to
speak to her. It was all he could do to tell me a few words.... This
evening I returned at eight o'clock.</i><br /><i>. . . She was worse than this morning. . .. Rose represents the Holy Face-it is the same thing!"</i><br /><br />
A few days later, a gentleman who had visited Rose put his experience into writing: <span style="color: blue;"><i>"I
have never been so surprised in my life. It was truly Christ's face,
such as it is seen in the pictures of the Holy Face. Her face was
covered with blood; a person could not see anything more pitiful. One
feels like dropping on one's knees when seeing her."</i></span><br /><br />
In June, 1930, the same man wrote again: <i><span style="color: blue;">"I was there last Saturday.
She was in a frightening state; she had been like that since Friday. .
.. I had never seen her like this before. There was so much blood on her
face that one could not see the cavity of her eyes. All she could say
was:</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>'My Jesus!</b>' </span>
... <span style="color: blue;">I cannot write about it without weeping. . .. I wanted my wife to
see her in that state. So Sunday at about three o'clock, we went to see
her. ... When we arrived, she was as beautiful as she could be, but very
weak."</span></i></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are various descriptions of Rose's sufferings on Fridays, during
which the progress of the crucifixion could be followed. She would
repeatedly ask the time, clearly awaiting the hour of deliverance. As
three o'clock approached, she would begin to tremble and ask all to
leave the room in order that she might be alone with her dying Savior.<br /><br />
Father Boyer has described Rose's agony on a Friday of November, 1929:<i>
<span style="color: blue;">"At 11:00 A.M., the cavities of both eyes were filled to the brim ....
The night before, I asked her why she did not wipe it away. </span>She
answered, <span style="color: red;"><b>'By wiping it off, the skin is often taken along with it; but, if I leave it, the blood dries and scales off the following day.'</b></span> And still by leaving it, she felt the blood burning, as though it were an acid."</i><br /><i></i><br /><span style="color: blue;"><i>"The
right eyebrow was split open while I was there, and as the wound
enlarged, the surroundings of the eye became blue, yellow and black ....
I have seen many bruised eyes; but that one was the worst I have ever
seen. The very sight of it was painful. The right side of the lower lip,
also, was split open, and as the swelling increased, new wounds were
formed on the chin ....</i></span><br /><i></i><br /><i><span style="color: blue;">"After dinner time, she entered into
ecstacy, her right arm straightened out; if her left arm, which was tied
to her body, had stretched out in the same way, she would have been in
the form of a cross. Shortly afterward, she writhed with pain, her lips
clenched and trembled and I could hear the muscles snap, as the arms
seemed to be pulled out of their sockets .... Suddenly the movements
stopped, her head jerked backward and while she was gasping for breath, I
heard the sound,</span> <span style="color: red;">"krish, kroosh,...krish, kroosh,"</span> <span style="color: blue;">at short intervals
.... Was it the tearing of the muscles that made that sound, as if the
limbs were pulled out of their joints? As I heard them, they seemed to
me as though the pains of Christ echoed from Calvary .... Rose felt as
though her bones were out of their sockets, but still touching one
another on ends. To avoid the pain, she did not dare move. . . . At
times, Rose would clench her teeth to overcome the torture. The chill of
death made her shiver, and cold sweat would appear.</span> <span style="color: blue;">At that moment, she
said:</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>'I thirst.'</b> </span><span style="color: blue;">They gave her water to drink .... Rose repeated a second time:</span><b><span style="color: #3333ff;"> <span style="color: red;">'I thirst,'</span></span></b> <span style="color: blue;">and the third time she added:</span> <span style="color: #3333ff;"><span style="color: red;"><b>'I thirst for souls.'</b></span> </span></i><br /><span style="color: blue;"><i>"Finally ... her chin dropped, her mouth remained open and the pallor of death suggested a corpse."</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi" height="360" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L5Ra9hnJGlM/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="640" />
A physician from Massachusetts assisted Rose at a number of these
crucifixion sufferings. After the ecstasy, he helped her bring the
dislocated arm back into its natural position, for the joints were out
of their sockets. Explaining the situation in his own words he stated:<br /><span style="color: blue;"><i>"This sometimes took half an hour to perform and was accompanied
with excruciating pains. Two weeks before her death I did this three
times the same afternoon. . . . I never could understand how that girl
could suffer so much!"</i></span><br /><br />
The inevitable question of official medical observation finally arose.
We have Rose's own description of her acceptance of this proposal in
August, 1931:<br /><span style="color: red;"><i>"In July, I bled every day as on Friday. It was terrible! I felt
that if the authorities were to do something, it was the time. I had no
repugnance to being examined at the time and was willing to submit to
the ordeal. But on the first of the month, the Friday on which I bled so
regularly and for so long a time, on that very day, there was no trace
of blood and even the wounds could hardly be seen. That day, Father
called to tell me that I would be examined in two weeks. On seeing me,
he said, 'What! Today, Friday, and there is nothing?' It's strange, but
since then my wounds have not bled."</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><i> </i></span><br /><br />
Rose was pleased at the temporary relief afforded her parents, for their
helplessness over their daughter's torments allowed them little peace
of mind. She had even asked her director if it were wrong for her to
pray for the removal of all exterior signs of the stigmata. During an
ecstasy she had prayed: <b><i><span style="color: #3333ff;">"Oh my
Jesus, I wish to suffer more and more, but spare my parents. Increase
my sufferings, if You will, but allow no one to see them. Put a smile on
my lips and a ray of Your glory in my eyes and show them that I am
happy." </span></i></b><br /><br />
Her sincere and humble prayer was answered. During her last five years
on earth, she bore no stigmata, except those of the head. But her
sufferings did not cease. Every Friday, the blood rushed to the members
that had borne the wounds and caused even greater pain "than before.
Rose wondered if she should not ask for the wounds to reappear, to which
a priest replied, <span style="color: blue;">"God has brought them about and God has taken them
away. If God wants their return, He can do so without being asked."</span><br />
The official medical investigation was never made.<br /><br />
But Providence has seen fit to leave ample medical pronouncements on
Rose Ferron's case to convince persons of open mind. A truly valuable
testimony is that of one physician who died before Rose:<br /><span style="color: red;"><i>"I have had all kinds of doctors examine Rose," </i>he averred, </span><i><span style="color: red;">"and
none of them can explain her case on natural grounds. To me her case is
supernatural, because no one could have lost so much blood during the
years and live."</span> </i>Referring to the very small quantities of liquid food which were her sole nourishment, he added, <span style="color: blue;"><i>"She is sustained by God alone. I am thoroughly convinced the manifestations are supernatural."</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for the passion of the Christ " class="irc_mi" height="426" src="https://i0.wp.com/images.zap2it.com/moviephotos/AllPhotos/46726/46726_bd/the-passion-of-the-christ.jpg" style="margin-top: 171px;" width="640" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Equally valuable is the statement of one of Rose's physicians seven
years after her death. Having in the meantime made a thorough study of
Bremond, Tanquerey and other masters of mystical science, he stated in a
letter composed at his own initiative, <span style="color: blue;"><i>"Would that I had had the
preparation when I treated Rose Ferron. However, I feel honored when I
think of the many phenomena I witnessed, and it is with pleasure that I
now can affirm that Rose was a genuine mystic. I can see the stages she
went through to the ultimate spiritual marriage and complete union with
her Jesus. I now admire her complete abandonment to God and her simple
humility. Her stigmata are ever fresh in my memory, as well as her great
thirst for souls."</i></span><br /><br />
The little victim of the diocese of Providence knew no more repose here
below. Not only was her body and mind racked with pain, but she seems
not to have slept for years, except perhaps when she would swoon into
unconsciousness from sheer pain. From midnight until one o'clock, Rose
kept her "Hour of Reparation." Then for three hours she busied herself
as well as she could with her little crafts. She had learned to make
book marks, to braid, and to repair rosaries. <span style="color: red;"><i>"I cannot remain idle,"</i> </span>she once remarked. <span style="color: red;"><i>"My little Jesus wants me to work." </i></span><br /><br />
And when someone questioned how she performed her tasks with but two fingers and her mouth, she replied, <i>"My little Jesus comes and helps me."</i>
After four o'clock, she "dozed" for two hours. But Rose insisted that
she did not sleep. In fact, she was aware of all that happened in the
room.<br /><br />
Such a life of hunger, pain, and helplessness, with no promise of early
relief in sight, was a supreme test of patience. The most providential
of witnesses to Rose's spirit of long-suffering was perhaps a Protestant
friend who attended her faithfully to the end. Two days before Rose's
death, she wrote as follows:<br /><span style="color: red;"><i>"Little Rose was truly a martyr; she always wore a smile, however
great the pain and agony she suffered. I have cared for her day after
day, week after week, year</i><br /><i>after year . . . ; I have seen the wounds she carried, the wounds which resembled the wounds of the crucified body of Christ.</i></span><br /><i></i><br /><span style="color: red;"><i>"On
Friday, the wounds were more prominent and would always bleed. During
the Lenten season, as Holy Week and Good Friday approached, her
sufferings were much greater and the agony which she suffered at times
was beyond human endurance and the bleeding during this period was much
greater.</i><br /><i>"... I can say that she never complained, she always smiled,
although in agony.... I have been blessed beyond expression by her
friendship."</i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><i><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi" src="http://protectthepope.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Our-Lady-of-Fatima-Statue.jpg" height="640" style="margin-top: 127px;" width="425" /> </i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><b>Her humility</b><br />
Such patience is hardly conceivable in a stigmatist without deep-rooted
humility. Rose's humility shone forth not only in her constant effort to
avoid popularity and exhibition, but in many details of her life, as
for example in her simple acceptance of complete poverty during the
Depression, when her aging father had no work, when doctor bills could
not be paid, and when she depended entirely upon public charity. Even in
her ecstasies, she remained a little Rose. In one of them, our Lord
seems to have proposed that He raise her to the honors of the altar, for
she responded: <span style="color: red;"><i>"Be on the altars? I am too little for that!"</i></span><br /><br />Rose's
humility, her reserve, her smile amid agony, "a smile full of
frankness, a childlike smile which ravished one's heart," were so many
tones vibrating into an ensemble of noble charm that was not unlike the
attractiveness of Saint Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower. In fact, a
priest, who had lived in Lisieux and as a boy had known the Carmelite
saint, testified that <span style="color: blue;"><i>"Rose has not only the physical resemblance of
the Little Flower, but she has also her power of attraction; when we
are with Rose, we don't know when to leave and when we are gone our
hearts irresistibly cling to her memory. That is why the Little Flower
influenced me and all the children of my age who visited the Carmel. Her
personality impressed us so that she seemed to follow us wherever we
went.... During and after my visits with Rose, I went through the same
experience as I did years ago when I visited the Little Flower. She
inspired me with the same confidence and I really have the same
veneration for both of them."</i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: blue;"><i> </i></span><br />
Many visitors to Rose's home shared this priest's impression. If some
came out of mere curiosity to see her sufferings, still more came to
meet "a soul of crystal" in which they perceived the most beaming
reflections of the supernatural they had ever encountered. They loved
hearing her speak because of the mingled serenity and abundance of heart
that filtered through her words. While she was in ecstasy, her prayers
aroused in the bystanders deep emotions of contact with the
supernatural. This crippled girl, who had formerly felt herself an
outcast because she had no education, expressed her thoughts with a
careful apropos that astonished visitors. Her constant and intimate
union with God had supplied whatever human education had failed to
furnish her.<br /><br />
However as with all mystics, her lot was not without its brunt of
calumny, gossip, and ridicule. But she was too generous of heart to
retaliate. <b><i>"Even were I to try to hate and blame those who work against me, I could not do it,"</i></b> she explained. <b><i>"It seems that I love them still more; and I have a desire to pray for them." </i></b><br /><br />
The true explanation of Rose's tenderness towards others, even those who slandered her, was her tremendous love of God. <i><b>"0h Jesus, the happiness I have in loving You outweighs the martyrdom that I endure," </b></i>she once exclaimed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi" src="http://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/jesus-christ-the-savior-pamela-johnson.jpg" height="640" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="567" /><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Her ecstasies</b><br />
Little Rose was joyful amidst her sufferings, and she was radiant in the intimacy with her Divine Spouse. <b><i><span style="color: #3333ff;">"How sweet it is to rest at Your side, 0 my Jesus!"</span></i></b> she repeated during an ecstasy in 1934. <b><i><span style="color: #3333ff;">"You know that I love You!"</span></i></b><br /><br />
At times during her ecstasies, often in the middle of the night, Rose
sang hymns in French to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. They were not hymns
that others knew. She composed the melody and words in rhythmic prose as
the emotions of her soul progressed. Several of these hymns were copied
by her friends. In 1929, a priest from Montreal recorded the following
in French:<br /><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">"Oh Jesus, yes, I love You,</span></b><br /><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">and I want without a cloud to love You more than myself.</span></b><br /><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">Oh! It is for You, my Jesus, that I wish to suffer.</span></b><br /><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">O Jesus, it is for You alone,</span></b><br /><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">for that would be my heavenly Father's will."</span></b><br />
This lifelong love for Christ in suffering led Rose instinctively to
prefer devotions that honored His Passion. The month of the Precious
Blood was for her, who had bled so much in her own victimized body,
replete with inspiration. <i><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">"It would take so many lives like mine and others,"</span></b></i> she said admiringly, <i><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">"to make up for just one precious drop of His Blood."</span></b></i><br /><br />
Rose's preference among pictures and statues of Christ was definitely
for those that depicted Him in suffering. She loved above all a statue
of the Scourging, because it held graphically before her eyes the price
of wounds and blood that the Man of Sorrows had paid to redeem mankind.
Blessed Brother Andre Besette, the Brother of the Congregation of the
Holy Cross who radiated sanctity far and wide from his porter's room at
Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, Canada, was likewise impressed by
this statue on a visit he paid to Rose in 1931. For twenty minutes he
studied it thoughtfully. That evening he expressed to a friend his
desire to have a statue just like it. When Rose heard of it, she
reflected in prayer over Brother Andre's wishes. <b><i><span style="color: #3333ff;">"If giving my statue to Frere Andre would give Jesus more souls, why should His Little Rose not make the big sacrifice?" </span></i></b>she concluded. On the Brother's next visit, Rose made "the big sacrifice."<br /><br />
While in ecstasy on April 13, 1929, in the presence of six visitors,
Rose asked her Saviour how long she had still to suffer, and then she
repeated aloud the answer, <b>"Seven years!" </b>She began to
count the age she would have after seven more years, and stopped at
thirty-three. Christ seemed to ask her if that were too long, for she
said with great eagerness:<b><i><span style="color: #3333ff;">
"Oh, no! Come and get me whenever You want. I am ready to suffer one
hundred years, if You want it. It is my sacrifice to stay."</span></i></b><br /><br /><br />
As was revealed to her previously, Marie-Rose Ferron died in 1936 at the
age of thirty-three. Death alone released her from the suffering that
pursued her day after day. <i><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">"God and the victims are the only ones who know what is meant by the word 'Cross,' "</span></b></i>
she had remarked, and her last two weeks were filled with the
overwhelming realization of the truth of this statement. Rose could no
longer see. She suffered such pains in her head that the least sound was
like a blow, and any noise caused her to faint. On the last day of
April, 1936, she lost her hearing and speech completely. There was no
way of knowing what she wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
On May 6, Father Boyer called at one o'clock in the morning. <span style="color: blue;"><i>"I walked into the room,"</i> he wrote in his biography, <i>"and
when I saw the condition in which she was, I was moved with pity. I
could not recognize her, she was so changed; her face was not only
disfigured, but wrenched out of shape. Her eyes were half-closed and in
their corners thick blood was gathering; her complexion was copper red
and her skin appeared coarse and swollen; her breathing was painful; her
mouth was open and twisted with a heart-rending expression. She was
like a dying crucifix, waiting for the consummation of her martyrdom."</i></span><br /><br />
Rose lived five more days. In death she still had <i>"the expression of anguish embedded in her face."</i>
But as the women, whom she herself had appointed for preparing her body
for the coffin, were washing her face, its frightful distortions
disappeared. A change came over her features at each stroke of the
towel. Her countenance emerged wreathed with a charming smile. She was
so natural that a doctor was called specifically to ascertain her death.<br /><br />In
fact, Little Rose's beauty had long impressed her visitors. In their
testimonials of her phenomena, they repeatedly commented upon it. When
they saw her writhing and bleeding in the atrocious sufferings of the
Passion, they failed to note the beauty of her features. <b><i>"Yesterday she was so beautiful,"</i></b> wrote one priest,<b><i> "today she is covered with blood."</i></b><br />
Surely it was the inner beauty of her virtues that radiated in her external countenance.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After
an intense period of suffering in union with Jesus for the conversion
of sinners, Marie Rose Ferron took flight to heaven on May 11, 1936, at
age 33, just as she was told by Jesus in ecstasy some seven years
before. </span></span>She was clothed in the habit of the religious
congregation she had founded after her Lord's directions, although she
died without seeing it progress beyond the approbation of Bishop Hickey
under the name of the Sisters of Reparation of the Sacred Wounds of
Jesus. <i><b>"Jesus will need this community before long,"</b></i>
she had said. As the thousands now filed past her body, nearly fifteen
thousand signed the guest book, they broke out in admiration at her
chaste beauty. The editorial writer of a newspaper wrote:<br /><b><i>"There are things one can never forget; for us it is the
radiant face of Rose Ferron. She was beautiful, but hers was not a
natural beauty, but rather a mystifying one: a slight luminous emanation
seemed to escape continually from that angelic face."</i></b></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mi" height="629" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/St8Ue1ui7A0/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Two pastors and two new believers in the Middle East who were sent
to prison for their faith received favor from a jail officer whom Jesus
visited four times in a dream.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The two pastors were reportedly giving Bible lessons to the two new
believers when police barged into their room and beat them all before
taking them into custody.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mi" height="629" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PNoX8sggWgk/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The new believers had started attending the underground church just
six months before the arrest. The pastors were working with Bibles for
Mideast, a ministry that operates in the Middle East, Asia and Africa by
giving away Bibles, evangelizing the lost and planting churches.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Bibles for Mideast has helped establish 176 underground churches, 103
of which are in the Middle East. These churches have been turned over
to the newly formed church called Assembly of Loving God.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mut iZKKUDbjRKcg-HwpH6ZlgJaI" height="629" src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSxgT_VZou6GuNZ6v0RMO24fBUXzOoNXtg82zMwZXd_n2IZSTXY" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The two pastors and the two new believers were charged with
“blasphemy of the prophet” and “misguiding Muslims into a false
religion.” They were found guilty in a sharia court.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When they were sent to prison, they were again brutally beaten for
two days while their hands were tied to a steel bar and their backs were
bent forward. The jailers gave them just one piece of a local bread
called kuboos each day. The experience was agonizing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">One of the pastors said none of them thought they would still come
out of prison alive and that they were already anticipating a death
sentence. Yet, though they were tortured, they found comfort in
remembering what Jesus went through and they began to confess, “The
blood of Jesus is our victory!”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Bibles for Mideast, which was unable to get information regarding the
condition of the four Christians since they were taken into custody,
sent out an urgent call for prayer and fasting for the protection and
release of the four Christians.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mi" src="https://d2ydh70d4b5xgv.cloudfront.net/images/6/3/brand-new-gift-ready-more-than-dreams-dvd-jesus-appearing-to-muslims-in-dreams-14d96475dc22cf83ecc05a2430db9753.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Unknown to them, God was already moving behind the scenes. On their
third day in prison, the four Christians were visited by a high-ranking
jail officer. He treated them well and ordered the jailer to untie their
hands and give them good food. After that, he left and disappeared into
his office.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The four Christian prisoners were baffled by the officer’s kind treatment.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“We thought, he came with a decision of finishing our life of this
world. That’s why treating us like this,” one of the pastors said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The officer came to their cell again in the evening — and surprised them all when he asked them to pray for him.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As it turned out, he had a dream about Jesus the previous week. The
Lord visited him in a dream, appearing in glory and seated on a throne.
Bright light surrounded Him, and millions of angels were at His bidding.
Jesus raised His nail-pierced hand and showed it to the jail officer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mi" height="629" src="http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content/dailybeast/articles/2016/05/25/why-are-so-many-muslim-refugees-in-europe-suddenly-finding-jesus/jcr:content/image.img.2000.jpg/1464174836550.cached.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="944" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The officer had the same dream again the following night, and the
night after that. His dreams drew him to know more about Jesus so he
read about Him on the Internet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The next evening, he had another dream. Jesus appeared to him once
more and told him, “My children are being tortured in your jail. I leave
them before you. My children are the apple of my eyes.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mi" height="629" src="http://images.slideplayer.com/15/4833650/slides/slide_49.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="839" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That was when he decided to visit the jail and see the four
believers. He stayed there three days, spending most of his time talking
to them about Jesus. They shared the gospel to him and he received
Jesus as his Lord and Savior.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The jail officer wrote an order to release the four Christians. It
was initially rejected by the court, but it was finally granted after he
filed an appeal. So all four of them were set free.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The officer invited them to his “cottage” in the prison upon their
release, where they were given good food. He then requested that he be
baptized. The two pastors baptized him along with the two new believers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for jesus appears to muslims" class="irc_mi" height="629" src="http://skywatchtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/final.png" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="419" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then he took them in his car and drove them back to their homes. He
encouraged them to continue their work for God and warned them to be
careful.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The four believers were thankful to those who prayed for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
“We thank for those who were fasting and praying for us,” one of the
pastors said. “Our Lord Jesus Christ is worthy to be praised. All glory
and honor to Him forever and ever!” </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Archbishop Erio Castellucci has a response to those who think the devil is not real: “they’re mistaken.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“All you have to do is witness an exorcism to understand that evil is
a specific entity, as well as a reality,” he told the Italian daily Il
Resto del Carlino. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Archbishop of Modena-Nonantola had seen possessed persons
throughout his life, but he had never witnessed an exorcism. Then one of
the two priest exorcists in his archdiocese called him. The priest had a
“difficult case.”The exorcist visited the archbishop and invited him to witness the rite.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“‘Come,’ he said to me, ‘because this man has been possessed for a
long time, he comes to me once a week and your presence, as a bishop,
may have an influence’,” the archbishop recounted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mut iFQHxIiKSWIU-HwpH6ZlgJaI" height="597" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ1C2GSy4Jd8gcZV4Juecd04P5I2xgv1_0jvAJbBI1xvAPgdtQM" style="margin-top: 16px;" width="426" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Archbishop Castellucci said he understood the urgency of the case when he saw how the possessed person reacted to the exorcism.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On July 3, 2015, Archbishop Castellucci went to a parish church in
Modena where exorcisms are performed. The exorcist and the possessed
person, a middle aged man, were there. He had barely entered when the
demon-possessed man started to shout, “Get out, get out of here, you
will have a bad death.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The man then fell into a trance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iFQHxIiKSWIU-pQOPx8XEepE" height="497" src="http://wickedhorror.thunderroadinc.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/bathsheba-the-conjuring.png" style="margin-top: 66px;" width="1192" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Then it seemed as if he had woken up and in an instant drove his
fingernails into the back of my hands,” Archbishop Castellucci
continued. “He had a diabolical look on his face and he uttered
unrepeatable insults and curses.”The possessed man “told me I would die in a traffic accident and while he was saying it he looked pleased.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iFQHxIiKSWIU-pQOPx8XEepE" height="640" src="https://whatthehelliswrongwithyouwordpress.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/darkcreatu_ttabcstd.gif?w=240&h=320&crop=1" style="margin-top: 155px;" width="480" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Archbishop Castellucci reflected on the claim, saying “My life is in
the hands of the Lord Jesus and certainly not in that demon’s. I wasn’t
worried at all. The word of God teaches that the curses are
ineffective.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After this experience, the archbishop said that he does not rule out
the possibility of participating in other exorcisms. The Italian
exorcists themselves lament that they are few in number.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Archbishop Castellucci said discernment was important regarding
alleged cases of possession </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">He also stressed the importance of prayers of deliverance to help disturbed persons heal.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">1. Christmas Tree</span> </span>- The sacred tree of the winter-god; Druids believed the spirit of their gods resided in the three. Most ancient pagans knew
the tree represented Nimrod reincarnated into Tammuz! Pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">2. Star</span> -</span> Pentalpha, the five-pointed
star. The pentalpha is a powerful symbol of Satan, second only to the
hexagram. The star is the sacred
symbol of Nimrod, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">3. Candles</span> -</span> Candles represent the
sun-gods’ newly-born fie. Pagans the world over love and use candles in
their rituals and ceremonies.
Certain colors are also thought to represent specific powers. The
extensive use of candles is usually a very good indication that the
service is
pagan, no matter what the outward trappings might be. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">4. Mistletoe</span> -</span> Mistletoe is the sacred
plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan blessings of fertility; thus,
kissing under the mistletoe is the
first step in the reproductive cycle! Witches also use the white berries
in potions. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">5. Wreath</span> -</span> Wreaths are circular, and so
they represent the female sexual organs. Wreaths are associated with
fertility and the “circle of
life”. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">6. Santa Claus</span> -</span> Former Satanists have
told me that “Santa” is an anagram for “Satan”. In the New Age, the god,
“Sanat Kamura”, is
most definitely an anagram “Satan”. The mythical attributes and powers
ascribed to Santa are eerily close to those possessed by Jesus Christ.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">7. Reindeer</span> -</span> Reindeer are horned animals
representing the “horned-god” or the “stag-god” of pagan religion!
Santa’s traditional
number of reindeer in his team is eight (8); in Satanic gematria, eight
is the number of “new beginnings”, or the cycle of reincarnation. The
Illuminati views the number “eight” as a symbol of their New World
Order. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">8. Elves</span> -</span> Elves are imp-like creatures who are Santa’s (Satan’s) little helpers. They are also demons. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">9. Green & Red</span> -</span> Green and Red are the
traditional colors of the season, as they are the traditional pagan
colors of winter. Green is Satan’s
favorite color, so it is appropriate it should be one of the traditional
colors for Christmas; red is the color of human blood, Satan’s highest
form
of sacrifice - for this reason, Communism adopted red as its main color!
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">10. Winter Solstice</span> -</span> December 25th is
known as the “nativity” of the sun. This date is the birthday of Tammuz,
the son, the reincarnation
of the sun god. Traditionally, December 21 is known as Yule. The Roman
Catholic Church moved the celebration of Yule to December 25. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">11. Saturnalia</span> -</span> December 25th is also
known to the Romans as “Saturnalia”, a time of deliberate debauchery.
Drinking through repeated
toasting - known as ‘wassail’ - was a key to the debauchery of this
celebration. Fornication was symbolized by the mistletoe, and the entire
event
was finished with a Great Feast, the Christmas Dinner. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">12. Christ Mass</span> -</span> Even the name,
“Christmas” is pagan! “Christi” meant “Christ”, while “Mas” meant Mass.
Since all pagan Masses
are commemorating “death”, the name, “Christmas” literally means “death
of Christ”. A deeper meaning lies in the mention of “Christ”
without specifying Jesus. Thus, Antichrist is in view here; the pagans
celebrate “Christmas” as a celebration of their coming Antichrist, who
will
deal a death blow to the Jesus Christ of Christianity. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span class="postBold">13. Pilgrims</span> -</span> Early Christian Pilgrims refused to celebrate this holiday because of its pagan roots.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="jRenderLocation" id="Loc-Ren11" style="display: block;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nearly
all aspects of Christmas observance have their roots in Roman custom
and religion. Consider the following admission from a large American
newspaper (<em>The Buffalo News</em>, Nov. 22, 1984): “The earliest
reference to Christmas being marked on Dec. 25 comes from the second
century after Jesus’ birth. It is considered likely the first Christmas
celebrations <em>were in reaction to the Roman Saturnalia</em>, a
harvest festival that marked the winter solstice—the return of the
sun—and honored Saturn, the god of sowing. Saturnalia was a rowdy time, <em>much opposed by the more austere leaders among the still-minority Christian sect.</em> Christmas developed, one scholar says, as a means of replacing worship of the <em>sun</em>
with worship of the Son. By 529 A.D., after Christianity had become the
official state religion of the Roman Empire, Emperor Justinian made
Christmas a civic holiday. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for the true root of christmas" class="irc_mi i34p0Xh50I_0-pQOPx8XEepE" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTe4aMphaAKJKKpPknGVLtx4mcX3Qz1T1eEi99qpsw-XWat_qtHxDuos8jgsn_NvYLPfwtkQao_Stz35DVl8EnygJ_E16IXJomoIH_q9flnrPMGgEadJ0NFEHfD3aJ7_MLUzUGniFuImU/s640/holi21.png" style="margin-top: 168px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The celebration of Christmas reached its
peak—some would say its worst moments—in the medieval period when it
became a time for conspicuous consumption and unequaled revelry.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="jRenderLocation" id="Loc-Ren12" style="display: block;">Consider these quotes from the <em>Catholic Encyclopedia</em>, 1911 edition, under “Christmas”: “Christmas was <em>not</em> among the earliest festivals of the Church…The first evidence of the feast is<em> from Egypt</em>.”<br />
<img alt="Image result for the true root of christmas" class="irc_mi iyGLtsIXVY_M-pQOPx8XEepE" height="480" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/40C9ZfkRXd4/hqdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 135px;" width="640" /> <br />
<br />
Further, “Pagan customs centring round the January calends gravitated
to Christmas.” Under “Natal Day,” Origen, an early Catholic writer,
admitted, “…In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast
or held a great banquet on his birthday. It is <em>only sinners</em> (like Pharaoh and Herod) who make great rejoicings over the day on which they were born into this world” (emphasis mine).<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for the true root of christmas" class="irc_mi iyGLtsIXVY_M-pQOPx8XEepE" height="360" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zNUFn79_5aU/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="640" /><br />
</span><span class="jRenderLocation" id="Loc-Ren13" style="display: block;">The <em>Encyclopedia Americana</em>,
1956 edition, adds, “Christmas…was not observed in the first centuries
of the Christian church, since the Christian usage in general was to
celebrate the death of remarkable persons rather than their birth…a
feast was established in memory of this event [Christ’s birth] <em>in the 4th century</em>.<br />
<br />

In the 5th century the Western church ordered the feast to be celebrated on the<em> day of the Mithraic rites of the birth of the sun and at the close of the Saturnalia</em>, as no certain knowledge of the day of Christ’s birth existed.”</span><span class="jRenderLocation" id="Loc-Ren14" style="display: block;">There is no mistaking the <span class="small-caps">origin</span>
of the modern Christmas celebration. Many additional sources could be
cited and we will return to this later. Let’s begin to tie some other
facts together.<br />

</span><span class="jRenderLocation" id="Loc-Ren15" style="display: block;">It
was 363years after Christ before the Roman church kept Christmas, and
not until the fifth century that it was mandated to be kept throughout
the empire as an official festival honoring “Christ.”</span> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi i34p0Xh50I_0-pQOPx8XEepE" height="640" src="http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/christmas-pagan-updated.jpg" style="margin-top: 115px;" width="640" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">We live forever, and once we realize that, we see that there is never need for despair, depression, or morbidity.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Those
who have traipsed for the other side emphasize how, from the
perspective there, that no disease or trauma or heartbreak, no tragedy
on earth, seems like a “big deal.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Such is the perspective “over there.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The earth is a passing place, and a big mistake it is when we embrace it as our complete or even predominant reality.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The most immediate obstacle for an easy transition: worldliness, according to one young woman who allegedly had such
an experience in February of 2010 when she had a seizure and collapsed
at a party. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iKzaLqNcdNMo-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="http://d28hgpri8am2if.cloudfront.net/book_images/onix/cvr9781501124914/chasing-heaven-9781501124914_hr.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="414" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Suddenly she had found herself watching a lot of people in a
circle staring at something, with police caution tape around, and when
she went to see what they were looking at, she saw that it was her own
body.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: red;">All of a sudden</span> a huge white light appeared, coming from the ceiling to the floor. “I just knew, okay, that’s home,” she relates on a video [<em>below</em>].
“That’s where I’m supposed to go. So I went into the light and it felt
so good, it’s hard to explain. The higher I went into the light, and the
more I moved up and further than earth, the better I felt. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><img alt="Image result for heaven NDE" class="irc_mi iKzaLqNcdNMo-pQOPx8XEepE" height="580" src="http://i1.wp.com/www.supernaturalworldview.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Heaven-is-for-Real.jpg" style="margin-top: 25px;" width="387" /> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The feeling
of pleasure does not really apply to this earth. Nothing can compare. If
you took everything you are in favor of maybe getting a massage,
getting into a hot tub, your favorite music, your favorite food, your
favorite drink, [if] everything that you love happened to you all at
once it would not even closely compare to the pleasure that was in
that light. As you moved up, it felt better and better.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><img alt="Image result for heaven NDE" class="irc_mi iKzaLqNcdNMo-pQOPx8XEepE" height="640" src="http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/proof-of-heaven.png" style="margin-top: 63px;" width="419" /></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">As always, we are vigilant because deception can come as an “angel of light.” Deception? Drugs? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">So
many of these experiences are astoundingly consistent and bear good
fruit (conversion) that we discern them. When we do we see how fading
indeed — how insignificant — are the pleasures of life. (Indeed, fasting
can bring more pleasure than a fantastic meal.) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: red;">Earth turned dark</span> for this particular woman — black — and our “universe” seemed “the size of an ant. In
Heaven, the leader of a nation is of no more note than the janitor at
church or the clerk at a convenience store (and perhaps of less note).</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">“It
made you realize how insignificant life is and how we are only here for
such a short time,” she witnesses. “There’s an eternal life we have to
live, and not too many people know that or believe that. There is a
place we go.”</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: red;">She saw her whole life</span>
all at once in a flash. “I honestly looked at my life and felt like a
complete failure. I felt like I’d lived one big selfish life, which was
only directed to myself. I never helped anyone on this planet. I never
gave anything to a significant degree. I guess I was — now I know the
terminology — ‘worldly.’ </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">“My
life seemed so big on earth, my friends, my clothes. When you look at
it from up there, it looks so insignificant. There was an overwhelming
feeling of love.” </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><img alt="Image result for pontius pilate" class="irc_mi isl2T0vQomQY-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.kjv-asia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Pontius-Pilate-825x510.jpg" height="510" style="margin-top: 60px;" width="825" /> </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>The document that follows is a letter from a collection of
parchments found sealed in an ancient vase. It was discovered in the
modern-day Italian City of Velletri. The collection apparently dates to
the reign of Claudius Caesar and was probably hidden during the
tumultuous and destructive reign of Nero. It is written in Latin with a
generous sprinkling of Aramaic phrases. If authenticated, its
significance is obvious. From internal clues, we date it preliminarily
to the spring of 39 A.D.</i></span><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Dear Portia,</span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: red;">
</span></i><i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate is dead.</span></span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am sorry to tell you so bluntly but, in truth, it is a relief. He
took ill with that awful consumptive disease when winter set in and has
suffered grievously. These last three weeks he has been almost
constantly delirious, wracked both by agonizing pain and unceasing night
terrors. You cannot know what a trial it has been. Were it not for my
brother’s wife and a friend we made here in Pyrgi, I do not think I
could have borne it at all.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for the passion of the christ" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.counter-currents.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/passion6.jpg" height="629" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="945" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We were never happy in Judea. Oh, Pilate was proud when he was named
procurator, to be sure. When we marched in with our cohort to take
residence, he flew the imperial standards high and with pride. We had
heard the Jews could be a contentious lot, so Pilate thought we would
get off on a good footing by establishing residence among the people.
But the trouble began immediately. The Jews went into an uproar,
claiming that the image of the divine Caesar on our standards was a
blasphemy to their God. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for ancient rome " class="irc_mi iztmPukdQhIc-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.medinaction.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/doctors-in-ancient-rome-1170x780.jpg" height="629" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="944" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">They claimed that the fortress we occupied,
Antonia, was part of their temple – and our residence there a
desecration. Their behavior was so insolent and riotous Pilate asked his
predecessor, Gratus, to delay his departure a few days to give us
counsel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Gratus warned Pilate that the Jews were zealous and ready to revolt
on anything touching their religion, but were otherwise dutiful and
productive subjects. He named some members of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish
high council, with whom he had made useful alliances.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iztmPukdQhIc-pQOPx8XEepE" height="552" src="https://hasidic.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/2bfef538d1dd242c9ef9ae5f4a5fdb7a.jpg" style="margin-top: 39px;" width="736" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">They would, he promised, be as zealous as we are in enforcing
imperial law and extracting taxes if we gave them leave concerning their
religion. Pilate suggested it might be time to demonstrate who was
ruler and who was ruled here, but Gratus firmly discouraged such a
course. We would find to our sorrow, he assured us, that the policy of
Rome, itself, was to yield to the Jews on matters concerning their
religion. It was the only issue that sparked rebellion and Judea was too
important a holding to toy with when it was so easily appeased without
detriment to genuine Roman interests.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So Pilate sent the standards off to Caesarea and we vacated the
fortress. We moved into a castle on Mt. Zion that was more spacious,
anyway. That became the source of yet another uproar. Pilate hung the
golden shields in honor of our gods on the castle. Once again the Jews
cried, “Desecration,” because the shields were engraved with the gods’
names. It set Pilate into a fury. He had respected their god, he
reasoned, so they could return the favor and show a little respect for
our gods. This was our castle and Pilate was the delegate in Judea of
Imperial Rome. He refused to be moved. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for ancient rome " class="irc_mi iztmPukdQhIc-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://pad3.whstatic.com/images/thumb/f/f0/Learn-About-Ancient-Rome-Step-3.jpg/aid2482078-728px-Learn-About-Ancient-Rome-Step-3.jpg" height="546" style="margin-top: 42px;" width="728" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Sanhedrin appealed to Rome.
Gratus was right. The decree we received ordering the shields removed
was signed by Tiberius, himself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After his anger subsided, Pilate sought a means of improving his
relations with the contentious Jews. He began to meet regularly with the
Sanhedrin to seek their counsel. A common theme was the shortage of
water in the city and the difficulty many had in transporting it and
keeping their crops irrigated during the dry season. The council had
heard of the excellent aqueducts we had in Rome and wondered if a
similar project might be attempted in Jerusalem.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for ancient rome " class="irc_mi iztmPukdQhIc-pQOPx8XEepE" height="425" src="https://media1.britannica.com/eb-media/47/145847-004-9D132077.jpg" style="margin-top: 132px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate was delighted. He contacted Rome and obtained engineers for
the project. Oh, what a wonderful time it seemed! Not only were we
bringing water to our subjects; Pilate personally ordered that as many
Jews as possible be hired to help in the construction. But this became
the greatest source of controversy yet. Some priests complained that
temple revenues were being used in the project. The Sanhedrin ruled that
temple revenues could only be used for sacred purposes. Pilate was
outraged. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The bulk of the</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">project was being financed from his own treasury. He thought the
Sanhedrin malicious, petty and ungrateful. He went before the high
council and asked what could be more sacred than protecting the people
from the effects of drought. He demanded to know on what grounds they
could refuse to contribute to what would work primarily to their
benefit. The council decided it would support a new levy on the people,
but was adamant that its own revenues must remain untouched. Pilate
cursed them and walked out. The Sanhedrin then inflamed the people into
an uproar and the project was abandoned.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for ancient rome jews" class="irc_mi iY4Ceiwo3Jyw-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.712890%21/image/2349077637.jpg_gen/derivatives/headline_609x343/2349077637.jpg" height="360" style="margin-top: 143px;" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After that Pilate kept away from the Jews. He sought no further
advice from the high council, nor did its members receive welcome when
calling on him, even on matters solely devoted to the empire. He became
very harsh in matters of imperial law and exacting the tribute. What
else was he supposed to do? Every time he reached out to them, the
Sanhedrin twisted it against him. He hated them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://images2.static-bluray.com/reviews/1073_5.jpg" style="margin-top: 110px;" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The final straw came in the trial of the Jewish holy man, Jesus. It
was right around this time nine years ago, when the Jews celebrate the
Passover. People had been overjoyed when Jesus had come into the city
the previous Sunday. He had gained much renown as a healer and miracle
worker. Many of the common people had started calling him their king,
the Messiah. This disturbed Pilate. But he also received reports that
the Sanhedrin was enraged at the man, so decided to look further into
the matter. Jesus had apparently beaten and chased many of the council’s
revenue collectors away from the temple – and this at their most
profitable time of year. That soothed Pilate. He figured any enemy of
the Sanhedrin couldn’t be all bad. So he told his informants to keep him
apprised of what was happening in the city.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Q0aXlb26nr0/Tq2fKF1mupI/AAAAAAAASrg/R49MO734SwY/s1600/PassionOTChrist_142Pyxurz.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="837" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate learned a lot over the next few days. The Sanhedrin had once
tried to recruit Jesus to their ranks, but he had spurned them, calling
them hypocrites and snakes who bled the people rather than helping them.
Shocked, the Sanhedrin returned his contempt in spades. They sent
lackeys out to try to trick Jesus into saying something they could
denounce him for. But his answers were too clever, always leaving the
lackeys looking like fools. Even worse, some of the agents the council
sent had defected and become adherents of the man. The more Pilate
learned, the more he liked this Jesus, but tensions were getting so high
he feared there might be an open confrontation before the festival was
over.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://cdn.charismanews.com/images/stories/2015/featured-news/Passion-of-the-Christ.jpg" height="352" style="margin-top: 145px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Before dawn on Friday we were awoken by our attendant, who told us a
group of Jewish officials was demanding to see Pilate immediately on a
most urgent matter. I had had a terrible dream that night. I had seen
this Jesus standing meekly on a hill, his face a mask of sorrow. All
manner of furious people, their faces contorted in rage, were hurling
themselves at him with swords and clubs. And all who reached him
crumbled to dust as soon as their weapons touched him. He wept
copiously, begging them to stop that he might help them, but they just
kept on coming, destroying themselves in their rage. In my dream, Jesus
looked deeply into my eyes, tears streaming down his sorrowful face. I
shiver now at the memory of that gaze.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.discountcatholicstore.com/images/passionpic2.jpg" height="443" style="margin-top: 107px;" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I was in tears, myself, as Pilate dressed to go downstairs. I told
him please; please…if this had anything to do with that holy man, Jesus,
have nothing to do with it. He must not harm Jesus. I told him of my
dream. He told me not to worry; he would send the Jews away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When Pilate got downstairs the whole Sanhedrin was waiting for him.
They were in an uproar – and it was about Jesus. The council was making
all manner of wild political charges against the man and demanding he be
put to death. I’m sure my face paled when Pilate came up to tell me. He
said he had to go or there would surely be a riot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/M4URqLjqEyo/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He knew the council hated Jesus and only sought to destroy him
because of the following he had built, a following that threatened to
topple their own authority. He said he would drag things out until
midday when the people would begin to fill the square – and the weight
of the people, themselves, would force the council to back down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eDGr-Ere_n8/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But he was home again in just a few hours, shaken and pale. He had
spoken with Jesus. The man was not at all what Pilate had expected. He
said he kept thinking of my dream as he spoke with him. Pilate said
Jesus seemed incredibly sorrowful, but not at all afraid, so much so
that Pilate thought it bordered on insolence. At first Jesus would not
respond to his questions at all. Irritated, Pilate asked Jesus if he
knew he had power to condemn or to spare him. Jesus looked deep into his
eyes with a terrible pity and told my husband he had no power at all
save that which was given from above. It stunned Pilate, so he asked
Jesus if he was a king. The holy man did not answer directly, but said
his kingdom was not of this world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That was enough for Pilate. Clearly, this was no threat to the
empire, just to the Sanhedrin. He decided on the spot to release Jesus
immediately. But when he went into the courtyard to announce his
decision it was already filled with people. To his horror, Pilate
realized the Sanhedrin must have filled the square with its own people
during the night. When the common people began to arrive at mid-morning
they would be crowded out. He went to his seat before the judgment table
and announced he had found no fault in Jesus and would release him. The
crowd roared, demanding his crucifixion. All Pilate could do was play
for time. So he claimed there were jurisdictional issues and sent Jesus
to Herod for questioning. Herod questioned him and sent him back. Again
Pilate went out and told the crowd that neither he nor Herod had found
any fault in the man. But the crowd shouted all the louder, “Crucify
him!”</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate feared another revolt might get him recalled to Rome in
disgrace. Desperate to damp down the tension, he sent Jesus off to be
scourged, hoping it would satiate the crowd’s bloodlust.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I told him I was going back to the square with him. His face went
absolutely white and he said no, I must not go there. But I was adamant.
Finally he said I could go as long as I stayed out of sight of the
crowd in the side hall of the west entrance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2wAf_g9e8TY/Tq2fy-M8QwI/AAAAAAAASsM/IyzeZr9s79c/s1600/PassionOTChrist_152Pyxurz.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="837" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After I was seated, the guard brought Jesus in through the east
entrance, directly across from me. Portia, I have never seen a sight as
terrible and terrifying. His face was battered and swollen, so purple I
didn’t at first notice the bright red blood trickling from his forehead.
They had forced some sort of cap of thorns and briars onto his head. It
was these which, forced into his forehead, caused fresh blood to
trickle. They had adorned him with a robe of the royal color, which
matched the color of his face. In his right hand they made him hold some
sort of stick. I finally realized the horrible joke; they had made a
mock king of him. Pilate staggered when he saw him. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I thought my husband
would faint. He turned back to me with a look of sick desperation and,
with one hand, motioned firmly for me not to move from where I was at.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate leaned forward and gripped the table of the judgment seat with
both hands. After the stricken look he had given me, I was astonished
at the calm command of his voice as he addressed the crowd. He told them
firmly he had found no fault with the man and was going to release him.
The mob’s cry hit us both like a fist. “Crucify him,” they screamed.
Pilate looked at Jesus, then back at me. From where I sat I could see
something the crowd could not. My husband’s knees were shaking
uncontrollably. He sat down. After a moment, I could see an idea had
occurred to him. He rose again and spoke.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.hotflick.net/flicks/2004_The_Passion_of_the_Christ/004POC_Pietro_Sarubbi_002.jpg" height="540" style="margin-top: 45px;" width="720" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“It is our custom to release a prisoner each year on the occasion of
the Passover festival. Whom shall I release to you; Jesus, called the
Christ, or Barabbas?” he asked the crowd.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Oh Portia, how I admired the cleverness of our Pilate at that moment!
Barabbas was a murderous insurrectionist who cared little whether it
was Jews or Romans; men, women or children that he murdered, as long as
he was killing.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://uptv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/passion5.jpg" height="363" style="margin-top: 136px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Confronted with this choice the people would have to choose Jesus.
The square was silent as the nature of the choice sank in. And then the
cry began. “Free Barabbas!” It rose to an insane, rhythmic chant. Pilate
staggered again and fell back into his seat. I looked across at Jesus.
Bloody and battered as he was, he looked at my husband with such
sorrowful pity you would have thought it was Pilate’s fate which hung in
the balance. Then Jesus looked at me and, through the gore, I saw the
man from my dream. I moaned in terror, sure we would all die there that
day. Pilate looked over to me, his face sick with desperation and panic.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://images.zap2it.com/moviephotos/AllPhotos/46726/46726_bd/the-passion-of-the-christ.jpg" height="426" style="margin-top: 171px;" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“Shall I crucify your king?” he pleaded with the crowd. Then I heard
the voice of the high priest, shrill with malice and rage, cry
triumphantly, “We have no king but Caesar.” I could not see the high
priest from where I sat, but I knew where he must be; on the receiving
end of the most smoldering gaze of murderous contempt I have ever seen
on my dear husband’s face. The chant of the mob continued, “Crucify him,
crucify him!”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://entdata-pic.stor.sinaapp.com/2014050101/role_movie/53612f1fef656.jpg" height="373" style="margin-top: 182px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Anger at the high priest galvanized my husband. He ordered silence in
a voice that clearly threatened to do to the crowd what they would do
to Jesus if they failed to obey. He told them he had found no fault in
the man, then turned to the guard and ordered that a basin of water be
brought before him. He stood waiting for the basin, his stare daring the
crowd to say it, to go ahead and break this sulfurous silence with
their murderous cry. The mob did not accept the invitation. When the
basin arrived Pilate solemnly washed his hands. “I am innocent of this
man’s blood,” he told the mob, “Upon you it shall be.” I heard the high
priest’s voice respond with gleeful triumph. “Upon us, let it be,” he
cried.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iihZaIGFo2_U-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.digitaldingus.com/reviews/hd/0046/images/tpotc_de_fullres_1.jpg" height="629" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I was horrified by the rage and loathing that filled my husband’s
eyes; even more so by the look of terrible pity Jesus gave Pilate as the
guard took hold of him to lead him away. When he came back into the
hall to me, Pilate ordered a guard to fashion a sign to be affixed to
Jesus’ cross. He ordered that it read, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the
Jews.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After we got home and the guard had been dismissed, Pilate spoke to
me. “When they brought him in I understood immediately the horrible
joke,” he told me. “But as I looked in Jesus eyes, something happened.
There was a brilliant radiance surrounding him. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I saw power coming from
him like rays of the sun. He was majestic and noble and his eyes were
filled with compassion for me. For me! Can you believe it? Here the mob
is crying for his head and he is looking at me with compassion. I could
see he is a king.” Pilate shook his head briefly in confusion, then
corrected himself. “No, he is not a king. He is <u>the</u> king.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“How, then, could you condemn him?” I gently asked.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“I did not!” Pilate said to me with sudden fury, then caught himself.
“He told me his kingdom is not of this world and I believe him.
Whatever world he is from is more than this one. They will not be able
to kill him. The joke is on them. The Sanhedrin has tormented us from
the very day we arrived, and now they torment this king. But they have
reached too far. This one they can’t contain. They will see. It will be
just like your dream. Their malice against him will break them, not
him.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iD2kqVoRbTto-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://itcher.com/mag/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/The-Passion-of-The-Christ.jpg" height="596" style="margin-top: 17px;" width="1192" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate was so earnest and agitated, I left him alone. To speak at all
was to trigger an intense outburst from him. So we waited in uneasy
quiet for news. Late in the morning the high priest came in a rage,
demanding to see Pilate. He complained that the sign Pilate had prepared
should have read, “He claimed to be king of the Jews.” Pilate gazed at
the high priest with savage joy and contempt as he said, “What I have
written, I have written,” then had him thrown from the castle. He
grinned at me in satisfaction. “Imagine their terror when they discover
they really have set themselves against their king.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But it was not to be. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iD2kqVoRbTto-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/250345595_1280x720.jpg" height="629" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Late that afternoon we had a terrible
earthquake, followed by a brief, furious storm. Both Pilate and I feared
my dream was coming true. Just as the storm died, a messenger from the
guard came to inform us that Jesus was dead. Pilate was thunderstruck.
He thought sure that Jesus would somehow turn the tables on the council.
Now he was terrified. After seeing the kingly radiance surrounding
Jesus, Pilate thought the business of the basin was a clever and stately
way of shifting all responsibility over to the Sanhedrin. He had
actually used the basin as a message to Jesus: the message to the crowd
was an afterthought. But now that his impossible hopes had been dashed,
he knew the basin did not clean his hands of Jesus’ blood. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mut iD2kqVoRbTto-HwpH6ZlgJaI" height="320" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLLTteGFtsW95RnPdvLvM8vGqLFBq_h5hTVNLiEnFqCxCVE7hwPg" style="margin-top: 190px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He was
terrified.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That evening, a man named Joseph, who Pilate thought was allied with
the council, broke the paralysis that had settled on my husband. This
Joseph asked permission to take the body of Jesus and remove it to his
family tomb. Pilate was suspicious. He thought it a trick by the
Sanhedrin to further desecrate Jesus. But several women had accompanied
Joseph and awaited him in the outer court. When they were told Pilate
would not release the body, they wailed with such intense and piteous
grief that my husband was convinced they must have loved the man, Jesus,
and so released him to their care.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The next morning a priest came to ask Pilate to set a guard at the
tomb. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mut iD2kqVoRbTto-HwpH6ZlgJaI" height="629" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhAxEuLT9yzHiu0E8-ii6l8J-26mFGUVAfK7nOG694bdTrrq6A" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="918" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He explained that Jesus had told crowds that he must be put to
death, but would rise again on the third day. The council feared his
disciples might steal the body and create an even bigger following for
him in death than he had in life. Much to the priest’s surprise Pilate
immediately, even eagerly, agreed. The priest slyly observed that the
high priest would be very pleased to know that the procurator had
thought better of the matter.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ images" class="irc_mi iD2kqVoRbTto-pQOPx8XEepE" height="497" src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7v5cM.jpg" style="margin-top: 66px;" width="1192" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“You tell that viper if he ever ventures into my courtyard again he
will meet the same fate he contrived for your king,” Pilate spat at him
with such fury the priest did not dare argue that Jesus was not their
king.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After the priest left, Pilate shook with emotion. What emotion, I
could not tell. It could have been fury, joy, fear or some intense
mixture of these and more. “I told you,” he said to me, “Death cannot
hold that man. He <u>is</u> a king and I will not let the council get
hold of his body to defile it before he has accomplished his purpose.
The council wants the guard to keep his disciples out. I set the guard
to keep the council out.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iD2kqVoRbTto-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.tvequals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/AD-The-Bible-Continues-The-First-Martyr-Episode-5-20.jpg" height="507" style="margin-top: 61px;" width="900" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">His eyes blazed with such intensity I feared my husband might be
taking leave of his senses. I took great care to soothe him. He took
care to order the guards he had appointed to keep him apprised of any
news, and to defend to the death any attempted intrusion into the tomb.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It was just after noon the next day when one of the guards came,
shaking with terror, to report that somehow the body had been stolen
right out from under them.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ resurrection" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KDlCFqy7KG4/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate looked at me and remarked that this was the third day. He
ordered the guardsman be brought some refreshment, then kindly, but
intensely questioned him. The guard swore the cohort had not been
drinking or carousing, as they were fearful about incurring the
procurator’s wrath. They knew how important this was. The messenger
reported they had been standing guard when a brilliant light bloomed in
the darkness, blinding them. It had seemed only a moment, he said, but
when their sight returned they were all on their backs and it was dawn –
and the rock had been moved from the tomb. Pilate asked why it had
taken so long for them to come tell him. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="483" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcDydJmvzyArtmhF2WdOs3lgmR31QmWoamMprow_UXo8PKmugI6YQAFIszZ6iCl1jVG9dPxYY0P2GbhdBFkzGmyx1__68c-T58scVEqOXEIBoCzF8VSAEo78aeCvnaV0A7htKY3riBxqs/s640/empty_tomb.jpeg" style="margin-top: 164px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The guard responded that they
had been frightened the procurator might have them executed and so had
argued among themselves on whether to send one to tell him or to flee.
Pilate asked if there was any other news he should know. The guard’s
whole body seemed to wither in misery as he reported that some of the
women who had been with Jesus claimed he had risen and even spoken to

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ resurrection" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://chicagobiblefellowship.org/santosh/newRespSite/images/empty-tomb.jpg" height="538" style="margin-top: 46px;" width="1001" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pilate was delighted. He assured the guard that none of them would be
punished, that they should just keep quiet about what had happened,
neither confirming nor contradicting any rumors that arose. The guard
gloomily protested that already some of the council were spreading
rumors that the guard had been drunk with carousing. This delighted
Pilate even more, so much that he ordered three months wages be given as
bonus to each of the four guardsmen, while re-iterating his order that
they say nothing and completely ignore whatever rumors the Sanhedrin put
out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After the guard left I asked Pilate why he was so pleased.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“Don’t you see,” he asked me. “If the council is putting out such
rumors it proves they do not have the body. They are trying to contain
the damage. Their constant schemes have fanned the flames of public
resentment against us since we arrived. Every effort we made to improve
relations they used as kindling to fire the flames even hotter against
us. But now they are caught in their own trap. Every rumor they spread,
every lie they tell is another piece of wood they lay on the cairn that
will consume them.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ resurrection" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/1374858/resurrection-christ.jpg" height="629" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="867" /> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I asked Pilate if he thought Jesus was really risen. He pondered for a
moment, then smiled and said whether he was or whether he wasn’t, the
Sanhedrin would have much more to worry about now than how to make our
lives a misery.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Over the next few months rumors swirled throughout Jerusalem about
where Jesus had been, who had seen him, who he had talked with and what
he was doing. It was even reported, with witnesses attendant, that he
had preached to a group of hundreds of people at a single time. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The
council was beside itself. I think Pilate was hoping Jesus might come to
us and offer some words of comfort and hope. He certainly never tired
of summoning witnesses to recount for him all the details of the latest
sighting. Finally, word came that Jesus had stood amongst some of his
followers and vanished into the heavens before their very eyes, and the
rumors died down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="426" src="https://www.lds.org/bc/content/shared/content/images/magazines/new-era/2015/01/resurrected-christ-with-people_1341689_inl.jpg" style="margin-top: 165px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That, however, was not the end of the matter. More like the
beginning, if you want to know the truth. The followers of Jesus were
bolder than ever. They took to calling themselves The Way and holding
forth in synagogues throughout Jerusalem. The Sanhedrin was constantly
bringing members of The Way up on charges. Nothing delighted Pilate more
those last few years than to tell the furious priests to “…see to the
matter, yourselves” and not to trouble him on matters pertaining to
their religion.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ resurrection" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.survival.org.au/images/Jesus_last_supper.jpg" height="370" style="margin-top: 141px;" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Of course, our relations with the Sanhedrin were forever poisoned
after that. Not that they had been much to speak about before, but after
that Passover it became a constant struggle. The Sanhedrin was
constantly trying to undermine Pilate with Rome and Pilate was
constantly trying to undermine the Sanhedrin with the people. It was
ironic that during those last few years Pilate achieved a rather popular
following among the growing segment of Jews who identified themselves
with The Way. Both made the Sanhedrin squirm, though I think Pilate
enjoyed it more than members of The Way did. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Eventually, though, we were
summoned to Rome to answer charges that we were conspiring with the
rebellious sect known as The Way to overthrow the Sanhedrin. It wasn’t
true, but certainly Pilate did always rule in favor of anyone he knew –
or even thought – to be connected with The Way any time the council
brought them up on charges.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In many ways it was a relief. Our time in Jerusalem had not been
pleasant. After proving his loyalty, Pilate hoped to receive another,
more auspicious posting. He would even have been content with a return
to the Legion with a favorable command, though we had grown very fond of
each other over the course of our troubled encounter with Judea and did
not want the separation that re-appointment to the Legion would
inevitably bring. Unfortunately Tiberius died while we were en route to
Rome and the new emperor, Caligula, did not consider hearing our case a
priority. We went to stay with my brother and his wife in Pyrgi, just
about a day north of Rome, to await the emperor’s pleasure. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">To our
surprise, The Way had established a few footholds even here, in the
heart of the empire. We met two adherents who said they had been in the
courtyard on the day of the great drama. One, Joses by name, came to
visit us quite regularly, occasionally bringing a friend or two. Joses
and Pilate became fast friends and loved to talk at great length about
Jesus. I thank God for it. When Pilate took ill a few months ago, Joses
took it upon himself to stay with us and help me care for my husband.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You have to understand, Portia, that over the last few years Pilate
was not the same man you knew from your childhood or his early days with
the Legion. He never slept well anymore and his days were ever more
listless. The only time he seemed his old self was when Joses came
around. Truth is, Pilate had become consumed with thoughts of Jesus and
what he could have done differently that day. He feared he had failed
the only real king he had ever met. It ate at him. Joses swore that he
had been among the crowd that Jesus had preached to after having risen. I
think that, more than anything, sealed Pilate’s attachment to him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://media.ldscdn.org/images/media-library/bible-images-the-life-of-jesus-christ/teachings/jesus-speaking-crowd-1103410-print.jpg?download=true" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="944" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Pilate asked him why the members of The Way didn’t hate him, even seemed
to enjoy coming up to visit him, when they both knew that whatever his
protestations, without his approval there could have been no
crucifixion. Pilate’s voice trembled as he once told me that Joses had
explained that if Jesus was to conquer death and rise, he must first
die. To some in The Way, Pilate was a curiosity. For others, even though
he was a Roman, he had spoken with Jesus on that last day and that
meant something. For those who had been there, Joses said, yes, Pilate
had a hand in Jesus’ death. But his was the only hand that day that had
seemed unwilling. And more, Joses told him, every friend he had brought
said afterward that they could feel the grief of it still hanging on
Pilate like a shroud.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Sometimes in the night, Portia, I would wake to hear Pilate
muttering, “Your king is innocent,” or “I find no fault in him.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://viewerscommentary.files.wordpress.com/2016/03/passion-of-the-christ-the-monica-bellucci-maia-morgenstern-christo-jivkov-e1458886273501.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="951" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He
would toss and turn throughout the night. Even on the good nights, the
bedclothes would be soaking in the morning. One terrible night I woke to
hear Pilate screaming, “I wash my hands of it. I tell you I wash my
hands of it!” I had to wake him to keep him from disturbing the whole
household. When I did he kept looking in all directions in frenzied
panic. He shrank against the bedpost and didn’t recognize me. He kept
begging, “Please, please…” and wouldn’t suffer me to touch him for some
time. It took me hours to calm him. Finally he drifted back to sleep and
did not awake until late the next afternoon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for passion of the christ resurrection" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="416" src="https://quietplace4prayer.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/jesus-condemned.jpg" style="margin-top: 107px;" width="1005" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Joses told me that Pilate constantly asked him if he thought Jesus
could forgive him. Joses tried to reassure him that Jesus already had,
but Pilate would always mist up in disconsolate grief, telling him, “I
could have stopped it, but didn’t. I should have stopped it, but didn’t.
Oh why, oh why, oh why didn’t I stop it? I’ve been lost ever since.” It
grieved Joses that Pilate could not understand how forgiving of
weakness Jesus is. It is malice that destroys a man, Joses said. He kept
trying to tell Pilate he had more to fear from his hatred of the
Sanhedrin than of the role he played in Jesus’ death. But Pilate would
not hear any defense of the Sanhedrin – and could not accept that Jesus
would ever forgive him for letting them take him to Golgotha.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://lutheran-church-regina.com/userdata/news/d3f3933c8463890bb20a13d1289a52b9.jpg" height="629" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="837" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When the sickness came, Pilate got worse. He laid in bed and kept
begging Joses to ask Jesus to come and forgive him. He said he could not
believe he could ever be forgiven unless Jesus came, himself, to tell
him. Over and over, it was all he would talk about, then sob
uncontrollably. In these last three weeks, he was in constant agony. He
could neither sleep, nor stay awake. He was either quiet and labored or
raving. “Jesus, forgive me,” he would plead, “Come tell me you forgive
me,” and then great, wracking sobs that tore my heart out.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.katapi.org.uk/images/Passion/Condemnation300w.jpg" height="482" style="margin-top: 202px;" width="640" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Joses would sit with him sometimes and send me away to give me a
break, but I could tell it was hard on him, too. Four days ago, he had
to go away for a week, but said he would try to get back early. Thank
God he got back late yesterday afternoon. Ever since he had left, Pilate
kept asking me, “Claudia, why are you doing me this way?” and groaning
in agony. It was a constant accusation. When Joses arrived he found me
crying in the garden. I collapsed onto his chest weeping as I told him
what had happened. I told him I knew Pilate was not in his right mind
anymore, but it hurt so bad that, even in his delirium, he should think I
was doing this to him. I cried and cried and cried some more. I told
him I had to go back up to Pilate; I couldn’t leave it like this, but I
didn’t know if I could bear it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Joses cradled my chin in his hands and wiped my tears off. “We’ll go
up together, Claudia. You know he doesn’t mean it and he needs you so
much now. We’ll see him together and you’ll be strong,” he told me. It
was such a relief to have Joses with me as we went in. Pilate started
stirring immediately and then woke, confused and feeble.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“Look,” I said. “Joses is here to see you. See, Pilate, your friend Joses is with us.”</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As soon as we entered I saw that Joses had started silently mouthing
prayers. It seemed to give me strength. Certainly, having Joses here
gave me something to focus Pilate’s attention on other than me or his
pain. I kept telling him that Joses was here, over and over. It felt
silly to keep repeating it, but I couldn’t help myself. It had become a
mantra against the darkness. Joses had his own mantra. He did not cease
mouthing his silent, urgent prayers. To the astonishment of both of us,
Pilate started struggling to sit up. He didn’t have the strength for it,
but was determined. Joses did not cease his silent prayer, nor I my
cheery announcements as we helped move Pilate into a sitting position.
Joses put his arm behind Pilate to support him. When Pilate was up, his
head slumped limply on his chest and his arms hung as limply at his
sides. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://fotos01.laopiniondemalaga.es/2014/04/18/646x260/v074ss01.jpg" style="margin-top: 166px;" /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">He took deep, struggling breaths, as if he had just finished some
fearsome effort which, I guess, he had. After a few minutes, Joses
interrupted his prayer long enough to say, “Claudia, he’s trying to tell
you something.” I looked down and saw Pilate’s fingers twitching
purposefully at me. My heart sank, but I leaned in to him. As I did, he
grabbed my arm with a strength I would not have thought possible in that
skeletal frame. “I…I love you, Claudia,” he whispered in a gasp. Tears
flooded my eyes. It was all I could do to keep from bursting into sobs.
Instead I replied, “I love you, too, Pilate.” But as I started to sit
back up, his grip was all the stronger and more insistent. He had
neither lifted his head from his chest nor opened his eyes during this
effort. Again, he took deep, gasping breaths, gathering his strength for
something more. Twice more, he told me he loved me. After the last,
without lifting his head or opening his eyes, the faintest smile of
contentment smoothed his face. I told Joses I thought he was ready to
sleep again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi iQgCL4wluHws-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://theedgeconference.com/wp-content/uploads/Brooklyn_Museum_-_The_Lords_Prayer_Le_Pater_Noster_-_James_Tissot.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="947" /> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We gently laid him back down. Oh what a lovely sight he was! His
breathing was deep and strong and quiet, and the faint smile of
contentment remained on his face. I told Joses, with no little
amazement, that it was the first peaceful sleep he had had in months.
Joses smiled and said, “He needed to tell you how much he loves you.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We went to the anteroom and had some tea sent up. We talked quietly
into the wee hours of the night. Every time I went to look in on Pilate
he was breathing deeply and peacefully. What a blessing! Sometime during
the night, he slipped quietly away. I think Jesus must have come before
Joses and I went up to him last evening.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Your brother is at peace, Portia. I know it with certainty. And how glad the knowing is!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Munaf Ali was an influential imam who not only hated Christians, he directed his followers at the mosque
to attack them. But after he died and was being prepared for burial, he
stunned his family by returning to life with a new message of
salvation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="Image result for iam the way the truth the life" class="irc_mi i7nu3X_ESUPA-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tUUYk84760k/maxresdefault.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="1118" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Munaf Ali*, 45, was an influential imam as well as scholar and preacher of Islam in a Middle Eastern country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">One day a team from Bibles4Mideast approached the imam and they
entered into a vigorous discussion about the authority of Jesus and the
Bible. Munaf denied the divinity of Jesus Christ and the credibility of
the Bible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Pastor Paul offered him a copy of the New Testament but he refused to
receive it. Visibly upset, the imam cursed the pastor and his team.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi infMElAQPjjY-pQOPx8XEepE" height="431" src="http://nocompulsion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Angry-Muslim-Mob-Rally.jpg" style="margin-top: 99px;" width="575" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">That night the imam incited a mob to attack the place where Pastor
Paul and his team had been staying with shouts of “allahu Akkbar.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">But the Holy Spirit directed them to leave that location a few hours
earlier, narrowly escaping the attackers before they arrived, according
to Bibles4Mideast.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">A few days later, following Friday prayers, Munaf was returning home
when he suddenly felt dizzy, fell to the ground, lost consciousness and
died.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">After his physical body expired, he was aware of demons coming for his soul.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><img alt="Image result for jinn" class="irc_mi ijtHB2jhZWEc-pQOPx8XEepE" height="266" src="http://static.rogerebert.com/uploads/review/primary_image/reviews/jinn-2014/hero_Jinn-2014-1.jpg" style="margin-top: 66px;" width="640" /> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">“Get lost, you cursed demons of Allah. You have no right to take my soul!” the imam asserted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">“No. It’s our right to take your life,” one of the demons replied.
“And you will be with us,” as he forcefully grabbed the imam and began
to depart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">But suddenly, Jesus Christ appeared before the imam with a large retinue of angels and the demons quickly fled in terror.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Then Jesus spoke LIFE to his heart...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;"> <em>Listen, my son. First Adam disobeyed God and sinned against Him under Satan’s influence.</em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;"><em>I am the second Adam, the Word of God and the Messiah Jesus, Son
of the Most High. I was born of the virgin Mary, as a sinless Son of Man
to redeem Adam and all of his descendants including you from sin and
death.</em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;"><em> </em><em>I was crucified and died as a ransom for all your sins to make you a child of God and citizen of heaven.</em></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;"><em> </em><em>I was raised from the dead and opened the gates of

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">When Munaf’s soul returned to his body, his sons and other family
members were trying to lay his body on a table for washing and
preparation for burial. Many other people were also in the room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">His family and friends were astonished and some began to shriek when
Munaf opened his eyes and sat up on the washing table. Many were
frightened and backed away, as if they saw a ghost.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

describe his experience.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Some believed his report, but others refused to believe and began to

<img alt="Image result for Priest Leonid, redemptorist from Ukraine" class="irc_mi iFG7XkvVuAYQ-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://yorktonredemptorists.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/IMG_7246.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="839" /> </div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Priest Leonid, a Redemptorist Priest from Ukraine province, participated in the
15th International seminar for priest in Medjugorje and gave the
testimony, first to the other participants and then to Radio Station Mir
Medjugorje. The following is his testimony translated to English...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />My first
pilgrimage to Medjugorje was related to my obligations and to my
occupation in the priest vocation. Namely, in 2005 local Church
entrusted me with huge responsibility and gave me heavy burden to carry
and that was service of exorcist. The first months and the very first
year were filled with God’s love and grace, but also with great
difficulties and temptations. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the major difficulties took place
during one session of exorcism over a seriously possessed person. The demon spoke to me through the possessed person in very scary voice. The demon's words were full of horror and death...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“I am
horrible, I am powerful, and I will destroy you. I will destroy your
priesthood and burn your life to ashes...I will make you suffer for the rest of your life.” </span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Although, the threat was quite bad, I did not
take that seriously at all. After all, I believed in God completely and
I did not have any reasons to doubt that. I also knew that if I had
fear in front of the Satan that would be as if I already lost something.
But God allowed this situation to take place, and I am going to share
with you how great and how mighty his Mother is, and how Medjugorje is Holy and
sacred ground.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Suddenly, inexplicable, I was seized with terrible mental depression and mental pain. I suffered and when I
was tempted daily, I was not able to pray at all. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for priests suffering in black and white" class="irc_mi i3l770xbXzto-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.spiritwatch.org/suffering.jpg" height="640" style="margin-top: 48px;" width="480" /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I would go to
confession every single day, but Satan tormented me every minute of the day without rest. The
temptations were so strong that I lost peace in my soul completely. Not only that, I also felt that I lost my priesthood and my vocation. I
felt that something had totally destroyed my life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In that
difficult reality, while I was still unable to figure out what was
happening to me, somebody asked me to go to Medjugorje. With no hope I joined with a group of priests and left for Medjugorje.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When we arrived I was just not able to pray, not even when
they prayed as a group. During that pilgrimage I met one other priest, father
Ambrosias from Slovakia. He completely sacrificed his life and his
vocation working with people from Ukraine in the region of Carpatho, Ukraine. He traveled and worked right after his heart attack, and he also suffered from diabetes.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for Priests Father Ambrosias from Slovakia" class="irc_mi i3o1myCgXn2s-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.ilgiornale.it/sites/default/files/foto/2015/06/10/1433918051-medjugorje.jpg" height="479" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="640" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">As a Franciscan priest, he had visited Medjugorje five times. He absolutely thrilled me with his life and humbleness. He became
my friend, I would help him around, take him by the hand, as he was
older man. It appeared, that I was helping to him, but the truth was that
it was the other way round. Once,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> we were</span><span style="font-size: large;"> climbing up the Hill of
Apparitions and it was to be the apparition time of one of the visionaries.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Every where it was packed with people, priests, nuns, and lay people. I sat next to Fr. Ambrosias
and I turned my back to the apparition site. In my heart I felt unworthy of
being there at all. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet, as the Rosary began I felt desire to
look towards the direction of the Apparition, to see what was happening there. At the
same time I felt the desire to look the dark sinister voice commanded me to not
to look there. The hate filled inner voice accused me saying...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">"You are failure and you will end up in hell. I will drag you there myself." </span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My mind was in turmoil I felt worthless and horrible. Then, from no where positive feelings directed my eyes towards
the apparition site. As I looked I begged for a sign. A</span><span style="font-size: large;"> pin prick of light </span><span style="font-size: large;">broke through the darkness. Something, some one gave me the courage and I suddenly that freedom was possible. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for christ is king images" class="irc_mi ilMK2enzlIm0-pQOPx8XEepE" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-NZnYrEuBOaeMk5bVuZQHyiEGWEPb5OGOLbaQX6gjqr0TnzkHxksSv0eH1_AttDqe8-yp7i1k4Dgjb9eTxpFbx_6y7WMXlHqdqzy9zCLMRoUQEcBeFaQOFk-0lWkK2vey6WIFQvlryEV_/s1600/CHRIST+KING+ON+THRONE.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In
that very moment, as the answer to all of the questions arose, I
was able to feel how Our Lady was coming down, from Heaven to this
world. I knew this because of a certain gentleness, a feather light touch, a cool gentle breeze of Our
Lady’s presence. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She was coming closer to me to everyone present on that hill. As She drew closer to
me, the power of evil was disappearing. In my heart I experienced new
revelation. I was able to experience how powerful Her presence is, how
she was so humble. It was then, in that moment, that I realized that She does not cast away evil
spirits, but that they flee from Her. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for Mary with Jesus" class="irc_mi iaB_qzNB6OkQ-pQOPx8XEepE" height="640" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/48/10/fb/4810fb66e0f07438b29b750b6d808cd3.jpg" style="margin-top: 59px;" width="537" /> </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They are not able to bear Her purity
and beauty of Her presence. She does not humiliate them nor She does she need to sends
them away. The Divine Love given to Her by Her SON JESUS CHRIST causes them to flee because they can not stand that! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">By the Divine Mercy of GOD in Heaven a
change of spirits within me took place. The evil dark spirit of Satan, the hellish spirit that
destroys, disappeared taking with it all of my depressions and fears. Instead of
that evil spirit, Our Lady’s love replaced it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> In my heart, I heard the
voice:<i><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> “Do not be afraid, I am your mother! I am your guarantee that you
will not be destroyed, that you will not fail.” </span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything changed in an instant.
That experience of the presence and love of Our Blessed Mother became miracle of
love that saved me. A Priest slowly dying, yet now my vocation and my life have been resotred to me. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Related image" class="irc_mi ilMK2enzlIm0-pQOPx8XEepE" src="https://antiochcommunity.org/x/christmas09-big.jpg" style="margin-top: 165px;" /> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> After I went home I started to feel Our
Lady’s presence in every exorcism I perform. I will just share one
little example, since there are many similar ones. Our priests were
dealing with one possessed girl who came to confess in front of one
young priest who just returned after his studies in Rome. And as he was
saying the absolution words, the evil spirit, Satan possessing that person hit that
priest so hard that he was knocked across the room. Then, the same evil spirit
started mocking the other priests daring them to remove the evil spirit from the little girl. The priest were
afraid and scared so they called me the Dioceses exorcist. In short order I stood before the possessed little girl
and I started to pray over her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As I began exorcism, I knew instantly the
spiritual diagnosis. Straight away I knew that the girl was severely possessed. I invited
five devoted faithful to pray in support of me as I began to exorcise the little girl. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I recited traditional prayers
of exorcism, the evil spirit just laughed. It spoke to me in English language,
humiliated me and constantly mocked me saing that I had no power over it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Then, I began to pray to Our
Lady for help. I was totally exhausted. I began to be nervous as well. I felt
that I need to finish my prayer, but the evil spirit was not going away.
It was one spirit of many, the spirit of suicide began to torment me saying that it would make the little girl kill herself. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for Mary with Jesus" class="irc_mi iaB_qzNB6OkQ-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://www.catholiclane.com/wp-content/uploads/Mary-with-Jesus-and-Angels.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" /> </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Exhausted, I began to call Our Lady with all of my
heart. In the same way as the child calls his mother when he is afraid. Then, the real screaming
began as the evil spirit shouted...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> “ It burns, it burns, the light is too bright here now, there is no more darkness in her... I can not stay here any longer, The Lady is
here, I must go away, must go away.” </span></span></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">With that feeble cry the spirit fled and was gone. This was just one
situation and there are so many other ones. During these five years,
as I have been entrusted the service of exorcism, I experience many
temptations and trials. I had those before; I know I will have those in
the future as well. But, Our Lady, Mary the Mother of Our Lord JESUS CHRIST keeps me in Her heart and assists me in my duties as a </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="st" data-hveid="55">Diocesan </span>Exorcists.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for once saved always saved a lie" class="irc_mi iKnIZ7HyBsE0-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="https://onecanhappen.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/osas_liefromthepit.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="629" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How could I be going to hell? What I was experiencing messed
with my theology to a radically uncomfortable degree. The Holy Spirit
was making sure I would never be the same again. Mission accomplished.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
count the early 1990s as the most significant season of my life to
date. God had invaded my life. Do you feel the weight of that reality?
The burning, raging Creator thrust Himself into this mere mortal!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
Holy Spirit took me beyond a mere understanding of my need for a savior
and a simple acceptance of Jesus as that savior to a place of
breathtaking experience in His extreme, fearsome and surprisingly vivid
invisible realm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sudden all-consuming desire of my heart was to be
intimately joined with the Lover of my soul every moment of my life. I
was craving and experiencing a legitimate, reportable and constant
weighty manifestation of the presence of God in my life. I was burning!
The desire and the cry of my heart was...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> "More!"</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In those early
years, as I was diving into the increasingly deeper realms of life in
God, many things happened that I'll never forget—but one event shook me
like no other before or since. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">I Had a Dream</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The night I
had this uninvited invasion of both God and hell into my sleep, I was
living in an old, vacant church building as the caretaker. The dramatic
scene was what you would imagine—the church was a relatively ancient
stone structure. I would regularly encounter God as I walked through the
now empty corridors, hidden rooms, sanctuary and other mysterious
places throughout that relic. The countless hours praying in this vacant
building resulted in forming me as a young burning man in some very
memorable ways. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One destined evening I prepared for bed as I did
every other night. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I prayed myself
to sleep in the weighty and wonderful presence of the Holy Spirit as I
had done so many times before.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What was about to happen as I
slipped into sleep that fateful night would result in a tremble that is
with me to this day—25 years later. I was invited into an otherworldly
encounter that I had no freedom to turn down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because of the
unimaginable panic and terror I experienced that night long ago, I would
often pray as I went to sleep...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"> "God, please don't give me any dreams
tonight." </span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I prayed that way for 13 years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thirteen years! God
eventually spoke clearly to me, after 13 years of receiving many
visions, but no dreams of God, "John, I need you to stop praying that
prayer. I have things to reveal to you. I need to talk to you. I have
dreams for you to dream." I relented and have since craved dreams,
angelic visitations and other forms of communication from the heavenly
realm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During this night of terror over 25 years ago, I fell asleep in the old, empty church building and found myself dreaming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In
my dream, I was laying on my stomach in a one-room building. It was
very comfortable inside, though there was nothing in the room. It was
empty. I rested on the carpet and looked out of the two windows, one in
front of me and one to my right. The overwhelming feeling that I had was
one of comfort and relaxation. I had no concerns and no thoughts beyond
enjoying the atmosphere I was in. This feeling is what drove my entire
experience. Obviously nothing could be wrong if I was feeling so good,
right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Through the windows I could see a peaceful, lazy and bright
sunny day unfolding. It was beautiful! The trees were blowing in a
gentle breeze. The birds were chirping and flying from tree to tree.
What a brilliant Creator we have! Everything was so refreshing and
alive! I couldn't have asked for a better afternoon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, suddenly, I experienced a changing of the scene. Like
time-lapse photography, as I was in the same position on the floor
looking out the window, I watched the atmosphere suddenly change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There
was an immediate and progressive shift. The clouds were ever so slightly
darkening and increasing in coverage in the sky. The gentle breeze
picked up velocity and the brilliant brightness started to go in and out
as periodic shadows covered the area while the sun hid beyond the
advancing clouds. It seemed as if some rain might be moving in. I rested
there, stretched out on my belly with my head in my hands as I watched
it unfold. I remained immersed in my own comfort. I was taking deep
breaths and enjoying every moment of my day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Time lapsed again and
I saw the sky completely covered in clouds—clouds much darker than just
a few moments ago. I could now smell the fresh and unmistakable scent
of the coming rain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Concerning that day and hour no one
knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. As were the
days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in the
days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not know
until the flood came and took them all away, so will be the coming of
the Son of Man" </i><i>(Matt. 24:36-39).</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The birds were
taking cover as the wind picked up significantly. In the distance I saw
several lightning strikes. It sure seemed as if this could be quite a
storm. How was it that I was feeling no concern, no urgency to prepare
as I enjoyed my personal, careless experience in that small, one-room
shack? I stretched out and relaxed even more. The greater the threat,
the greater the "peace." What a wonderful day I was having.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Again,
for the third time, I watched the scene in front of me change suddenly.
Now, it was fully obvious the storm would most definitely hit—and soon.
The wind was intense and large, ominous drops of rain started to hit
the windows. Violent and arrogant lightning that seemed to have a
personality all its own struck less than 300 yards away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
thumps of hail hitting the roof started and quickly increased in force.
It was time for concern. The threat of danger was increasing by the
second, but I didn't feel any urgency or need to respond. I remained
prostrate on the ground, refreshed and at ease, just as I did when it
was a beautiful sunny day. I was enjoying the perceived safety of my
environment. I was feeling so good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again, time lapsed and I
found myself in the center of a churning, dreadful force that seemed
powerful enough to split the Earth in two. The storm of the century was
upon me. The massive trees were nearly snapping in two as they bent over
parallel to the ground. The hail was massive in size and was slamming
every surface around me. The windows were buckling in and out as the
incredible pressure of the storm weighed on them. The lightning that
burned hotter than the surface of the sun was literally striking mere
feet from the shack. The walls were shaking. You can imagine what I was
experiencing in that terrible and fearful moment. You guessed it:
beautiful peace, safety and comfort. It truly was a wonderful day, until
...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Part 2</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In a fraction of a moment my overwhelming sense of peace and safety
and relaxation turned to the most gripping terror I had ever known. It
was as if every source of life and good had been eliminated from the
atmosphere. Evil dominated the place that just moments ago was so
enjoyable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My mind raced in an attempt to figure out what had just
happened. The fear I was experiencing was beyond description. It made
no sense. What was going on? Everything was so perfect! Today was
supposed to be about enjoying life!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Suddenly, as I was confused,
horrified and trembling on the floor, two hands grabbed my ankles. My
terror instantly escalated to levels I cannot describe. I quickly looked
back and saw nothing—but I knew a demonic entity had grabbed on to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
grip on my ankles was like a vice. The thought of escaping was a
ridiculous one. It was impossible. My life, which seemingly just moments
ago had been under my own control, was now overpowered by an invisible
yet horrifying force, a force that I knew had intents—and the ability—to
destroy me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Again, the terror immediately increased nearly to the
point of literally losing control of my mind as that demon started to
pull me backward—and then down. My feet and legs were disappearing below
the floor of that shack. I knew I was going to hell.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How can this
be? It's impossible! I'm going to hell? But I'm saved. I accepted Jesus
as my Lord and Savior. This is contrary to everything I have ever
learned in church. Yet the moment was real, and I was losing every ounce
of hope. I was about to enter an eternity of continual torture.
Never-ending panic, madness and torment was upon me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The demon
kept slowly pulling me downward, as if he was relishing every single
moment. My feet were well below the floor and my waist was at ground
level. Then, suddenly my hope increased. I thought to myself, "If I say
the name of Jesus, the demon must flee!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So in my new state of hope I was able to squeeze out...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: blue;">"In the name of J—–. In the name of J—–. Ahhhhh!"</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
couldn't say it! The demon was controlling my very breath. I was
suffocating every time that name was about to be said. I could have said
any word in the dictionary but that one. My hope instantly was lost and
I started to cry out as I convulsed under the unbreakable control of
that demon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He continued to pull me down, one grueling inch at a
time. Finally, my neck and then my mouth were entering hell as my body
was taken below. At the height of my madness and terror, and as my eyes
were about to descend beneath the floor, I woke up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I sat straight
up, trembling in my bed in that old church building. I was sweating in
such volume that my entire bed was saturated. The light switch by my
bedroom door was no more than seven feet from my bed. Just two quick
steps to the wall would have been all it took to lighten the room. But I
was frozen. I sat there for at least three hours in the darkness in
absolute terror.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What Just Happened?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finally fell
back to sleep and awoke the next morning. I didn't realize how radically
my life had taken a turn the previous night. As I tried to gather my
thoughts while the events of the previous night overwhelmed my spirit
and my mind, I looked outside the two windows that were there in my
bedroom in that old church building. It was a beautiful sunny day—but I
did not feel comfortable or relaxed. I was shaken.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I begged God to tell me why I had that dream. What had just happened?
Finally, later on that day, He spoke to me, "John, you represented the
church. You were comfortable in your place of supposed safety. The storm
was intensifying, yet you were lulled into a state of apathy. Many in
the church will be surprised one day, just as you were surprised in the
dream, to find themselves under the control of demons as they are taken
to hell."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">"The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the
tent of the upright will flourish. There is a way that seems right to a
man, but its end is the way of death. Even in laughter the heart is
sorrowful, and the end of that cheer is grief. The backslider in heart
will be filled with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied with
his" (Prov. 14:11-14).</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a way that seems right.
Intellectually, it makes sense. Other people seem to confirm that it is
right. Common sense tells us that it is right. Even our theological
dispositions confirm it is right. But it leads to death. And if it's the
type of death I experienced in my dream—it must be avoided at all
costs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A backslider is focused on his own condition, on his own
comfort zone while a good man is in tune with the heart of God. His
pleasure comes from intimacy with Father God. His pleasure comes from
going where God is going, doing what he is doing and feeling what he is
feeling. There is no sense of ease in the storm, but there is
satisfaction and joy in the presence of God and by being in active
agreement with Him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This message is a wake-up call for every one
of us. Many wonderful people will be terribly shocked to find themselves
separated from God forever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord,
Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My
Father who is in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and
done many wonderful works in Your name?' But then I will declare to
them...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">'I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice evil'" (Matt.
7:21-23).</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Scripture is in reference to those who would call
themselves born-again Christians, people who have understood and
actually flowed in the power of the Holy Spirit. They understood their
heavenly position and earthly authority as they overcame demons. These
were your miracle workers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We need a wake-up call, church. We
can't presume to be in a place of safety simply because we said a
prayer, go to church, give offerings and talk about Jesus. An intense
pursuit of holiness and intimacy is required.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a message that must be shouted from the rooftops.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
can't imagine multiplied millions of people who are current following
Jesus in an unsaved condition crying out in terror one day, "I'm going
to hell? That's impossible!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"</i><i>He who has the seven
Spirits of God and the seven stars says these things: I know your works,
that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.</i><i> </i><i>Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain but are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfected before God. </i><i>Remember
therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent.
Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and
you will not know what hour I will come upon you</i><i>" (Rev. 3:1-3, MEV).</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" name="SAINT DOMINIC (1170-1221)"><strong>SAINT DOMINIC (1170-1221) </strong></a></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The following is from the book <strong><em>The Life of Saint Dominic</em>
by August Theodosia Drane.</strong></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">"On the second Sunday in Lent, being the first after the
settlement of the nuns at St. Sixtus, Dominic preached in their church, standing, as it is
said, "at the grating"-that is, so as his discourse should be heard both by them
and by the congregation assembled in the public part of the church. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As he did so, a
possessed woman who was in the midst of the crowd interrupted the sermon: "Ah,
villain!" cried the demon, speaking through her voice, "these nuns were once all
mine own, and thou hast robbed me of them all. This soul at least is mine, and thou shalt
not take her from me, for we are seven in number that have her in our keeping". Then
Dominic commanded her to hold her peace, and making the Sign of the Cross he delivered her
from her tormentors in the presence of all the spectators.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">A few days after this she came to him and throwing herself at his feet,
implored to be allowed to take his habit. He consented to her request and placed her in
the convent of St. Sixtus, where he gave her the name of Amata, or, as we are used to call
her, Amy, to signify the love of God displayed in her regard. She afterwards removed to
Bologna, where she died in the odor of sanctity, and lies buried in the same tomb with
Dominic's two other holy daughters, Cecilia and Diana, the latter of whom was foundress of
the convent of women in that place.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for SAINT DOMINIC (1170-1221)" class="irc_mi iaB_qzNB6OkQ-pQOPx8XEepE" height="640" src="https://www.trinitystores.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/art_image_full/RLDMG.jpg" style="margin-top: 75px;" width="510" /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">In speaking of this and other examples of the malice of the demon which
are narrated in the history of St. Dominic, we cannot but observe something perhaps a
little distinctive about them. Never do we find one instance in which Satan was permitted
the least power to vex or trouble him. Never, as with so many other saints, was he
suffered to do him bodily harm or to assault him with grievous temptations. The evil one
appears to us always baffled and contemptible, as in the power of one who is his master,
the very Michael among the Saints. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yet, though always petty, and as it were ridiculous, he
ceased not in his efforts to thwart and disturb him, and chiefly directed his malice
against the friars and the sisters of St. Sixtus, grievously trying them by perpetual
distractions, as though he hoped thereby at least to diminish something of the fervor of
their devotions. Once indeed he made a more serious attempt against Dominic's life.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">One night, as Dominic prayed in the church of Santa Sabina, a huge
stone was hurled at him by an invisible hand from the upper part of the roof which all but
grazed his head and even tore his hood, but falling without further injury to the saint
was buried deep in the ground beside him. The noise was so loud that it awoke several of
the friars, who came in haste to the spot to inquire the cause; they found the fragments
of the broken pavement and the stone lying where it fell; but Dominic was kneeling quietly
in prayer, and seemed as if unconscious of what had happened.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for SAINT DOMINIC (1170-1221)" class="irc_mi iaB_qzNB6OkQ-pQOPx8XEepE" height="640" src="http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344369287l/9312349.jpg" style="margin-top: 77px;" width="389" /> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Another story of a similar character is told as follows: "The
servant of God, who had neither bed nor cell of his own, had publicly commanded his
children in chapter that in order that they might wake the more promptly to rise to
matins, they should retire to bed at a certain hour, in which he was strictly obeyed..
Now, as he himself abode before the Lord in the church, the devil appeared before him in
the form of one of the brethren, and though it was past the prohibited time, yet did he
remain in the church with an air of particular devotion and modesty. Wherefore the Saint,
judging it to be one of the friars, went softly up to him, and desired him to go to his
cell, and sleep with the others.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">"And the pretended friar inclined his head, in sign of humble
obedience, and went as he was bid; but on each of the two following nights, he returned at
the same hour and in the same manner. The second time, the man of God rose very gently
(although, indeed, he had reason to be somewhat angry, seeing he had at table during the
day reminded all of the observance of that which had been enjoined), and again desired him
to go away. He went; but, as we have said, returned yet a third time. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Then it seemed to
the Saint that the disobedience and pertinacity of this brother was too great, and he
reproved him for the same with some severity; whereat, the devil (who desired nothing else
save to disturb his prayer and stir him unto wrath, and move him to break the silence)
gave a loud laugh, and, leaping high into the air, he said, 'At least I have made you
break the silence, and moved you to wrath!' But Dominic calmly replied, 'Not so, for I
have power to dispense; neither is it blameworthy wrath when I utter reproofs unto the
evil-doers.' And the demon, being so answered, was obliged to fly."</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for SAINT DOMINIC (1170-1221)" class="irc_mi ickmpkyJCKuc-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/saint-dominic-spanish-religious-canon-regular-of-cathedral-at-osma-picture-id517424638" style="margin-top: 0px;" /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">On another occasion, as he was by night walking about the convent of
St. Sabina, guarding his flock with the vigilance of a good shepherd, he met the enemy in
the dormitory, going like a lion seeking whom he might devour; and recognizing him, he
said, "Thou evil beast, what doest thou here?" "I do my office,"
replied the demon, "and attend to my gains." "And what gains dost thou make
in the dormitory?" asked the Saint. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Gain enough," returned the demon.
"I disquiet the friars in many ways; for first, I take the sleep away from those who
desire to sleep in order that they may rise promptly for matins; and then I give an
excessive heaviness to others, so that when the bell sounds, either from weariness or
idleness they do not rise; or, if they rise and go to choir, it is unwillingly, and they
say their office without devotion."</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Then the Saint took him to the church, and said, "And what dost
thou gain here?" "Much," answered the devil; "I make them come late
and leave soon. I fill them with disgusts and distractions, so that they do ill whatsoever
they have to do." "And here?" asked Dominic, leading him to the refectory.
"Who does not eat too much or too little?" was the reply; "and so they
either offend God or injure their health." Then the Saint took him to the parlor,
where the brethren were allowed to speak with seculars and to take their recreation. And
the devil began maliciously to laugh, and to leap and jump about, as if with enjoyment,
and he said, "This place is all my own; here they laugh and joke, and hear a thousand
vain stories; here they utter idle words, and grumble often at their rule and their
superiors; and whatsoever they gain elsewhere they lose here."</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for SAINT DOMINIC (1170-1221)" class="irc_mi ickmpkyJCKuc-pQOPx8XEepE" height="400" src="https://achristianpilgrim.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/quote-a-man-who-governs-his-passions-is-master-of-his-world-we-must-either-command-them-or-saint-dominic-68-58-51.jpg" style="margin-top: 115px;" width="850" /> </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">And lastly they came to the door of the chapter-room, but there the
devil would not enter. He attempted to fly, saying, "This place is a hell to me: here
the friars accuse themselves of their faults, and receive reproof and correction, and
absolution. What they have lost in every other place they regain here." </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And so
saying, he disappeared, and Dominic was left greatly wondering at the snares and nets of
the tempter; afterwards made a long discourse to his brethren, declaring the
same unto them, that they should be on their guard." </span><br />
<br />

discernments were crucial because Christians are not to communicate with the
dead, or at least are not to initiate such contact. For a long while the spirit
was tested to make sure it was not diabolic. But after a long period of such
testing and great initial reluctance on the part of the living nun who was
receiving the messages, descriptions and explanations concerning purgatory were
recorded that give us as great an insight into the afterlife as anything I have

experience began in 1873, when the living nun, who we will call Sister L.C.,
began to hear strange sighs. The groaning remained unexplained for several
months until finally the spirit identified herself as a recently deceased nun
from the same convent who was identified only as Sister M.G., a nun who had
been at the same convent and had died in 1871 -- two years before -- at the age
of 36.</span></b></span><br />

the nun: "We see St. Michael as we see the angels. He has no body. He
comes to get souls that have finished their purification. It is he who conducts
them to heaven. He is among the seraphim as monsignor said. He is the highest
angel in heaven. Our own guardian angels come to see us but St. Michael is far
more beautiful than they are. As to the Blessed Virgin, we see her in body. She
comes to purgatory on her feasts and she goes back to heaven with many souls.
While she is with us we do not suffer. St. Michael accompanies her. When he
comes alone, we suffer as usual."</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b> </span></b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Imagine waiting in line to be judged by Almighty GOD who is so large that you can not take HIM all in with your eyes. Imagine the voice of the Creator of all things, seen and unseen, crashing down upon all those waiting in line like booming thunder. Imagine seeing mighty Angels the size of skyscrapers flanking GOD on either side with very stern looks on their Angelic faces. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You watch as an Angel the size of the Empire state building seizes the person ahead. In an instant the Angel opens a trap door in the floor. Suddenly, white hot flames and sooty, black smoke shoots up into the air outlining the Angel in red and orange hues. In a blink of an eye the Angel drops the person SCREAMING into the flames. It all happens so fast that the person is gone the trap door closed before the sound of their eternal screams cease to exist. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Roboto, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In terrible shock, with your mouth still hanging open, your eyes the size of dinner plates, your heart beating wildly in your chest, your breath stuck in your throat, your knees shaking, threatening to give way, you suddenly find your self before the omnipotent, omniscient, Alpha and the Omega...GOD, HIMSELF... who sees the heart of men as an open book. </span></span></div>

<h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for suffering in hell" class="irc_mi ivM21J07T3Rc-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5337/3191/1600/10.0.jpg" style="margin-top: 165px;" /> </span></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">1) Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich: “No one could behold without trembling”</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich lived in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries in the Holy Roman Empire. She was a mystic who claimed to have
had visions of all sorts of spiritual things. Here is an excerpt of one
of her <a href="http://christtotheworld.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/venerable-anne-catherine-emmerich.html">visions of hell</a>:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The exterior of Hell was appalling and
frightful; it was an immense, heavy-looking building, and the granite of
which it was formed, although black, was of metallic brightness; and
the dark and ponderous doors were secured with such terrible bolts that
no one could behold them without trembling.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Deep groans and cries of despair might be
plainly distinguished even while the doors were tightly closed; but, O,
who can describe the dreadful yells and shrieks which burst upon the
ear when the bolts were unfastened and the doors flung open; and, O, who
can depict the melancholy appearance of the inhabitants of this
wretched place! </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All within it is, on the contrary,
close, confused, and crowded; every object tends to fill the mind with
sensations of pain and grief; the marks of the wrath and vengeance of
God are visible everywhere; despair, like a vulture, gnaws every heart,
and discord and misery reign around. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> In the city of Hell nothing is
to be seen but dismal dungeons, dark caverns, frightful deserts, fetid
swamps filled with every imaginable species of poisonous and disgusting
reptile. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Hell, perpetual scenes of wretched
discord, and every species of sin and corruption, either under the most
horrible forms imaginable, or represented by different kinds of dreadful
torments. All in this dreary abode tends to fill the mind with horror;
not a word of comfort is heard or a consoling idea admitted; the one
tremendous thought, that the justice of an all-powerful God inflicts on
the damned nothing but what they have fully deserved is the absorbing
tremendous conviction which weighs down each heart.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Vice appears in its own, grim disgusting colors, being stripped of the mask under which it is hidden in this
world, and the infernal viper is seen devouring those who have cherished
or fostered it here below. In a word, Hell is the temple of anguish and
despair…</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for hell" class="irc_mi i3J41e1Bz2Ko-pQOPx8XEepE" height="436" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/20/article-2161985-13B29283000005DC-642_634x432.jpg" style="margin-top: 99px;" width="640" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">2) St. Teresa of Avila: “On fire, and torn to pieces”</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">The great 16th century mystic and Doctor of the Church claims to have had this <a href="http://catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com/St.%20Teresa%20of%20Avila%20combat%20with%20Satan.html">experience of hell</a>:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The entrance seemed to be by a long
narrow pass, like a furnace, very low, dark, and close. The ground
seemed to be saturated with water, mere mud, exceedingly foul, sending
forth pestilential odors, and covered with loathsome vermin. At the end
was a hollow place in the wall, like a closet, and in that I saw myself
confined. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt a fire in my soul. My bodily
sufferings were unendurable. I have undergone most painful sufferings in
this life… yet all these were as nothing in comparison with what I felt
then, especially when I saw that there would be no intermission, nor
any end to them. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did not see who it was that tormented
me, but I felt myself on fire, and torn to pieces, as it seemed to me;
and, I repeat it, this inward fire and despair are the greatest torments
of all. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could neither sit nor lie down: there
was no room. I was placed as it were in a hole in the wall; and those
walls, terrible to look on of themselves, hemmed me in on every side. I
could not breathe. There was no light, but all was thick darkness. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so terrified by that vision – and
that terror is on me even now while I am writing – that though it took
place nearly six years ago, the natural warmth of my body is chilled by
fear even now when I think of it. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was that vision that filled me with
the very great distress which I feel at the sight of so many lost souls,
especially of the Lutherans – for they were once members of the Church
by baptism – and also gave me the most vehement desires for the
salvation of souls; for certainly I believe that, to save even one from
those overwhelming torments, I would most willingly endure many deaths.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for hell " class="irc_mi i3J41e1Bz2Ko-pQOPx8XEepE" height="629" src="http://www.laboiteverte.fr/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/trou-enfer-turmenistan-gaz-brule-04.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="839" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">3) St. John Bosco: “Indescribable terror”</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">In 1868, St. John Bosco claimed to have had a dream about hell. His <a href="http://www.todayscatholicworld.com/bosco_hell.htm">full narration</a> is fairly long, so here is just a short excerpt:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As soon as I crossed its threshold, I
felt an indescribable terror and dared not take another step. Ahead of
me I could see something like an immense cave which gradually
disappeared into recesses sunk far into the bowels of the mountains.
They were all ablaze, but theirs was not an earthly fire with leaping
tongues of flames. The entire cave – walls, ceiling, floor, iron,
stones, wood, and coal – everything was a glowing white at temperatures
of thousands of degrees. Yet the fire did not incinerate, did not
consume. I simply can’t find words to describe the cavern’s horror. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My guide seized my hand, forced it
open, and pressed it against the first of the thousand walls. The
sensation was so utterly excruciating that I leaped back with a scream
and found myself sitting up in bed.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My hand was stinging and I kept rubbing
it to ease the pain. When I got up this morning I noticed that it was
swollen. Having my hand pressed against the wall, though only in a
dream, felt so real that, later, the skin of my palm peeled off.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bear in mind that I have tried not to
frighten you very much, and so I have not described these things in all
their horror as I saw them and as they impressed me. We know that Our
Lord always portrayed Hell in symbols because, had He described it as it
really is, we would not have understood Him. No mortal can comprehend
these things.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Image result for hell" class="irc_mi ivM21J07T3Rc-pQOPx8XEepE" height="272" src="http://www.faithinhisblood.org/uploads/2/8/5/1/28510639/8919605_orig.gif" style="margin-top: 208px;" width="640" /> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">4) Sr. Lucy of Fatima: “Shrieks and groans of pain and despair”</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Sr. Lucy of Fatima isn’t a saint (she died recently, in 2005), but
she was one of the visionaries of Fatima in the early 20th century, an
approved apparition in the Church. As a part of that vision, she <a href="http://www.fatima.org/essentials/facts/hell.asp">claims she saw hell</a>:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We saw, as it were, a vast sea of fire. Plunged in this fire, we saw the demons and the souls [of the damned.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The latter were like transparent burning
embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, having human forms. They were
floating about in that conflagration, now raised into the air by the
flames which issued from within themselves, together with great clouds
of smoke. Now they fell back on every side like sparks in huge fires,
without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and
despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fright (it must
have been this sight which caused me to cry out, as people say they
heard me).</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The demons were distinguished [from the
souls of the damned] by their terrifying and repellent likeness to
frightful and unknown animals, black and transparent like burning coals.</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span><h4>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;">5) St. Maria Faustyna Kowalska: “A place of great torture”</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">St. Maria Faustyna Kowalska, often known simply as St. Faustina, was a
Polish nun who claimed to have a large number of mystical experiences
in the 1930s. Here’s an excerpt from her diary about one of her visions:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I was led by an Angel to the chasms of hell. It is a place of great torture; how awesomely large and extensive it is!</span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The kinds of tortures I saw: the first
torture that constitutes hell is the loss of God; the second is
perpetual remorse of conscience; the third is that one’s condition will
never change; the fourth is the fire that will penetrate the soul
without destroying it – a terrible suffering, since it is a purely
spiritual fire, lit by God’s anger; the fifth torture is continual
darkness and a terrible suffocating smell, and, despite the darkness,
the devils and the souls of the damned see each other and all the evil,
both of others and their own; the sixth torture is the constant company
of Satan; the seventh torture is horrible despair, hatred of God, vile
words, curses and blasphemies. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each soul undergoes terrible and
indescribable sufferings, related to the manner in which it has sinned.
There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of agony differs
from another. </span></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I noticed one thing: that most of the
souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell. When I came
to, I could hardly recover from the fright. How terribly souls suffer
there! (Diary of St. Faustina, 741)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amazing witness Testimony of Roy Schoeman, Harvard Business School professor who
had mystical experiences of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary which
brought him into the Catholic Church.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Roy was a former Jew who became a functioning atheist after attending college. While walking one morning suffering deep depression Almighty GOD removed the veil and Roy was given a glimpse of the Divine truth and spiritual reality. In one single moment everything that Roy had been taught, everything he knew was wrong. You will be amazed by his clarity and depth of commitment to sharing the Divine truth imparted to him by Our Father in Heaven. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I HIGHLY recommend and adjure you to listen to his testimony. Just listen to the first 15-20 minutes and I promise that you will be uplifted as well as gain new insight to the absolute truth of Christianity. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nicolas had been a part of the prayer group all year long, but this
was the first time that he had talked about his life before his
conversion. He told us about how he became involved in Satanism while in
his late teens. It enslaved him, bringing despair and utter loneliness
to his life, to the point where he was tormented with thoughts of
suicide. He felt trapped and helpless in its grasp. It was only through
the constant prayers of his mother that he was finally freed from this
slavery a couple of years ago, and he began to give his life back to
Christ.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">I had never met anyone like Nicolas, openly admitting a past
involvement in Satanism. After the initial shock, I bombarded him with
three questions, one after another. First, how did they ‘worship’ Satan?
I had always heard that it was not anything like worshipping an image
of Satan or singing hymns, but by having a so-called “Black Mass.” In
other words, their entire service is a mockery of the Catholic Mass. Was
this true, I asked him? Not a Protestant preaching service, not a
Buddhist temple ritual, but an explicit mockery of our Mass? “Yes,”
Nicolas told us, “that is true.”</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><img alt="Image result for people's reflections" class="irc_mi ifxouwKrrzM0-pQOPx8XEepE" height="480" src="http://il9.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/6308891/thumb/2.jpg" style="margin-top: 75px;" width="852" /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I had also heard, I continued, that Satanists steal consecrated
communion bread from their local Catholic churches which they desecrate
at these black services. For example, I have heard of Catholic parishes
where this is such a problem that the pastor is forced to post special
attendants during Holy Communion who watch to make sure that no one
receives the Eucharist and walks away without consuming the host.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> The
Satanists take these consecrated hosts to their services these wafers of
“bread” that Catholics believe have been miraculously transformed by
the Holy Spirit into the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ and
desecrate them with spit, bodily waste, and other such unimaginable
blasphemies. Before your conversion, I asked Nicolas, did you and your
fellow Satanists steal consecrated hosts for this purpose? “Yes,”
Nicolas answered, “we did.”</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The poor guy probably felt like he was being interrogated by the CIA
by this point, but knowing that I might never have this opportunity
again, I asked Nicolas one final question. I told him that I had also
heard that those who were very deep in Satanism could actually tell
whether a communion host had been consecrated or not. For example, they
will not steal communion bread from Protestant communion meals, nor will
they steal unblessed communion bread for desecration at these “Black
Masses.” It would not work because some of the Satanists would
immediately recognize that it was just ordinary bread. They would be
able to tell that Jesus Christ was not sacramentally present there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><img alt="Image result for people's reflections" class="irc_mi ifxouwKrrzM0-pQOPx8XEepE" height="525" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Cross-FS.jpg" style="margin-top: 52px;" width="700" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I asked Nicolas whether this also was true. He again replied that it
is, and he told us that he could do this himself before his conversion
from Satanism. A chill went down my spine. If someone were to put ten
identical communion hosts in front of him, nine unconsecrated and one
consecrated, he would have been able to point directly and immediately
to the host that had been consecrated. I asked him in amazement, “But
how were you able to know?!?” He looked at me and the words he spoke are
forever burned in my memory: “Because of the hate,” he said. “Because
of the burning hate I would feel toward that host, apart from all the
others.”</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">His words hit me like a baseball bat. Some of the saints also had
this mystical knowledge of the Lord’s Eucharistic presence, but this
knowledge flowed from their deep union with Christ. Nicolas, on the
other hand, knew Christ’s presence because his worship of Satan had
worked the opposite mystical connection to the Eucharist—he knew Jesus
was there not because of his love for Jesus, but because of his deep
hate. It makes my skin crawl just to think about such hatred.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">This is how Satan operates. He loves to mock whatever is holy and
sacred, to imitate the truth and twist it in a perverse way. The Mass is
the most sacred prayer on earth, the most awesome way for us Christians
to offer worship to our Lord, so Satan has his followers worship him
through a mockery of that prayer. Instead of lifting the Eucharist high
with adoration and loving reverence, the Eucharist is thrown to the
ground with loathing and derision. Rather than knowing Christ’s true
presence in the sacrament through their love, they perversely recognize
Christ’s presence through their hatred.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Let’s not pretend otherwise—it is scary to hear a story like
Nicolas’. It is terrifying to realize that such evil exists in this
world. But more than frighten us, his testimony should give us hope,
comfort, and strength. Satan does exist and he is powerful, but Jesus
Christ is infinitely more powerful. Even the most wicked sinner can be
brought back to the love of the Lord, through Christ’s grace and through
the prayers of believers (like Nicolas’ mother!) If Satan so despises
the Mass, then we should be moved to even greater devotion, preparation,
and participation in Mass. If Satan so despises the Lord’s true
presence in the Eucharist, then our hearts should burn with even greater
love and thirst for worthily receiving Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.</span><br />
