Most Holy Trinity, you who now dwell inside my body in all of Your Divinity, nothing is beyond Your power. Therefore, I come before you and say, "Thy will be done." I renounce my self-will, and instead promise and desire to do and live in only Your Will.
Please also preserve the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist within me, so that you may make of me a living Monstrance, that my walk today may be a true Procession through this city’s streets. Make of me a living Host, that all who see me truly gaze upon Your face, and grant me the Gift of Living in the Divine Will, so that Jesus may walk in my walking, speak in my speaking, pray in my praying, and indeed substitute His Divine and Eternal operations for all of my acts, and through me re-do all of the acts of Creation, past, present, and future -- in the Will of God, offering them back to the Father with the seal of my Fiat, which I pray may become an echo of Jesus and Mary’s perfect Fiat.
Dear Jesus, let all of my sufferings serve as atonement for my sins and those of the whole world, and be fused with Yours in Your Passion and console your Sacred Heart.
Let all who see me that lack Faith be as Longinus, and acknowledge you are the Son of God. Let all who see me that lack works be as Dismas, and receive the grace of perfect contrition, hope, and trust. Let all who see me that live in sin be as Magdalene and amend their ways. Let all who see me that suffer from wounds of spirit be healed of them, and in place of any darkness or despair, be filled with peace and joy, as you preached the good news to the poor. Let all who see the image of Your Mercy that I wear venerate it and therefore receive the promise you entrusted to Faustina, so they may not perish. Let all who see the weapon of your Mother (Holy Rosary) that I carry receive grace through her intercession, that she may crush the head of the serpent in their lives.
Do not restrict these graces to only those few who see me but let them be extended to all the friends and family of these and continue in this manner until they reach the furthest ends of Earth, Heaven, and Purgatory; past, present, and future.
I firmly trust and believe that you can do all of these things, for I ask them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
During days of apostasy, fallen-away Catholics -- not in a “state of grace” and not Sacramentally fortified -- become vulnerable “to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1).” The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery, intrigue… The Devil lures people into forbidden Occult practices -- and away from God.
Evil increases insensibly, once it is given in to. And one’s mortal sin testifies to the Devil’s victory in one’s life. Having turned away from the Light, fallen-away Catholics become more and more curious about the Dark Side -- the Occult, spiritism and the paranormal...
The current craze is “paranormal investigation” (charged and sustained by a Godless Hollywood). One’s willing participation in such activity is consent given, and doors (portals) to the demonic are opened. There can be dangerous consequences:
We were playing with the Ouija board. Suddenly, objects started flying across the room! At night, I often see a dark figure standing in my bedroom. It is like a shadow man watching me. And I get terrible nightmares.
A paranormal investigator was attacked during an investigation (scratch marks on his back). When he returned home he began to suffer the sexually-stimulating attacks of a succubus spirit. And objects began to move in his house.
Demons can attach to people, and people can bring demons home with them. This is how some houses become haunted -- that is, infested with demons.
August 2017 _ I visited a desperate family in Upper Darby, PA being targeted by a (real) witch from Trinidad. I agreed to see them because they were not getting the help they needed... I prayed for the family members, and sprayed holy water throughout the house.
Soon after returning home, I thought I had some kind of flea infestation in my carpet. I never saw them; I just felt them. I cleaned, and I cleaned some more... I even used a body wash that repels biting insects (such as fleas and ticks)...
One month later _ I was inspired to record a video of my apartment using the flash on my smartphone. This is when I discovered that the fleas in my apartment were not fleas.
This is what a demonic infestation looks like.
Demons can attach to objects connected to a dark (diabolical) force: objects used in pagan rituals, false religions, white and black witchcraft, Santeria and Satanic rituals… objects of the Occult (amulets, crystal balls… Ouija boards/witchboards, dowsing rods... Tarot cards and horoscopes). These (cursed/Occultic) objects can bring a dark presence into your home; they can be the source of a demonic infestation.
"Any object created (or book written) for Satanic use is a conduit for demonic spirits and reverberates Satanic power."
A demonic infestation can cause fear, obsessive thoughts, emotional stress, anger/arguments… anxiety, depression, nightmares, insomnia, sleep paralysis… headaches, nausea, digestion problems… and other physical ailments due to a weakened immune system.
Some of the phenomena can include: hearing footsteps, voices, tapping on the walls... the opening and closing of doors, poltergeist activity… seeing shadows, apparitions and shadow men… the physical movement of objects, electrical problems… unnatural coldness, the shaking of beds… and bodies being touched, and scratched...
~ * * * ~
If you sense a dark presence in your home:
1) During the night with all lights out, walk throughout the house using the flash on your smartphone camera. If there are any evil spirits in any of the rooms, they will become visible on your camera as orbs.
2) Remove and destroy all objects that have anything to do with false religions [including statues of false gods (idols) and ceremonial masks], witchcraft, voodoo, spiritism, Santeria, Satanism and the Occult (including gothic jewelry and good luck charms) ... remove all heavy metal and hip-hop music (which have their basis in Satanism) ... and all pornographic materials. Remove, destroy and sprinkle with holy water.
3) Fill a spray bottle with holy water and walk throughout the house spraying a mist of holy water in every room, closet and hallway.
4) Use Sacramentals (blessed medals, crucifix, holy water, blessed oil and exorcized salt).

A Powerful Novena:
Day 1
Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying?
Leave the care of your affairs to Me and
everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth
that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to
Me produces the effect that you desire and
resolves all difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 2
Surrender to Me does not mean to fret, to be
upset, or to lose hope; nor does it mean offering to
Me a worried prayer asking Me to follow you and
change your worry into prayer. It is against this
surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be
nervous, and to desire to think about the
consequences of anything. It is like the confusion
that children feel when they ask their mother to
see to their needs, and then try to take care of
those needs for themselves so that their childlike
efforts get in their mother’s way.
Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the
soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation
and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act -- saying, “You take care of it.”
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 3
How many things I do when the soul, in so much
spiritual and material need, turns to Me, looks at
Me and says to Me, “You take care of it” -- then
closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for Me to
act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not
turn to Me; instead, you want Me to adapt to your
ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor
to cure you; but rather, sick people who tell the
doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as
I taught you in the Our Father: “Hallowed be thy
Name” -- that is, be glorified in my need. “Thy
kingdom come” -- that is, let all that is in us and in
the world be in accord with Your kingdom. “Thy
will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven” -- that is,
in our need, decide as You see fit for our temporal
and eternal life.
If you say to Me truly: “Thy will be done,” which
is the same as saying: “You take care of it,” I will
intervene with all My omnipotence, and I will
resolve the most difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 4
You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do
not worry. Close your eyes and say to Me with
faith: “Thy will be done, You take care of it.” I
say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will
intervene as does a doctor, and I will accomplish
miracles when they are needed. Do you see that
the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset,
but close your eyes and say, “You take care of it.”
I say to you that I will take care of it, and that
there is no medicine more powerful than My
loving intervention. By My love, I promise this to
you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 5
And when I must lead you on a path different
from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will
carry you in My arms; I will let you find yourself,
like children who have fallen asleep in their
mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river.
What troubles you and hurts you immensely are
your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your
desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 6
You are sleepless; you want to judge everything,
direct everything and see to everything, and you
surrender to human strength -- or worse, to men
themselves, trusting in their intervention. This is
what hinders My words and My views. Oh how
much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated!
Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to
remove you from My protection, and to throw you
into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in
Me, rest in Me, surrender to Me in everything.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 7
I perform miracles in proportion to your full
surrender to Me, and to your not thinking of
yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when
you are in the deepest poverty. No person of
reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles,
not even among the saints. He does divine works
whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think
about it any more, because your mind is acute, and
for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in
Me, and to not think of yourself. Do this for all
your needs; do this all of you and you will see
great, continual, silent miracles. I will take care of
things; I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 8
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away
on the flowing current of My grace. Close your
eyes and do not think of the present, turning your
thoughts away from the future, just as you would
from temptation. Repose in Me, believing in My
goodness, and I promise you by My love that if
you say, “You take care of it,” I will take care of it
all. I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Day 9
Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you
will receive from it great peace and great rewards,
even when I confer on you the grace of
immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what
does suffering matter? It seems impossible to
you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul,
“Jesus, You take care of it.” Do not be afraid; I
will take care of things and you will bless My
Name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers
cannot equal one single act of surrender,
remember this well. There is no novena more
effective than this:
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything!”
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of
everything! (10 times)
Mother, I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you I want to
always belong to Jesus.
Do not love the world [all that is hostile toward God and alienated from Him] or the things of the world. [Love of the world and love of God are mutually exclusive (James 4:4).]
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, sensual lust [“the lust of the flesh” (inordinate desire for physical gratification)], enticement for the eyes [“the lust of the eyes” (avarice or covetousness)], and a pretentious life [“the pride of life” (arrogance or willful independence from God and others)], is not from the Father but is from the world. Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. (1 John 2:15-17)
The Devil will satisfy “the lust of the flesh.” The Devil will provide enticement for the eyes, the “windows to the soul.” The Devil will feed “the pride of life” -- causing one to abandon God and others.
It is the Devil who lures people (young and old) into witchcraft, Satanism and Occult practice. The Devil offers excitement, diversion, mystery and intrigue to people fighting boredom… he provides friendship and support for people in lonely, tragic circumstances… and he seduces people who are fascinated with the paranormal and the dark side of life.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1 Timothy 4:1)
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
"Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; whereas Mary, by her obedience, undid it." _ Saint Irenaeus
Q: What "knots" can Mary undo/untie?
A: Problems and struggles we face for which we do not see any solution.
The Blessed Virgin Mary comes to provide jobs, good health, to reconcile families... because she wants to undo the knots of our sins which dominate our lives, so that -- as sons and daughters of the King -- we can receive the promises reserved for us from eternity. Mary comes with promises of victory, peace, blessings and reconciliation.

Eve's disobedience was untied by Mary's obedience: what the virgin Eve bound through her disbelief, Mary loosened by her faith." Comparing her with Eve, they (Early Church Fathers) call Mary "the Mother of the living" and frequently claim: "Death through Eve, life through Mary." - CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, #494
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God (praising the Lord), and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s fetters were un-fastened (chains were broken). (Acts 16:25-26)
Are you in bondage to sin? Do you struggle with addiction? Are you anxious, obsessed? Is there too much stress in your life? Do you have negative, self-defeating thoughts? Are you depressed, fearful? Do you have irrational guilt and feelings?
Deliverance is possible -- through praise!
“When a soul extols (highly praises) My goodness, Satan trembles before it and flees to the very bottom of hell.” _ St. Faustina, Divine Mercy in My Soul #378
“Great is the LORD and worthy of much praise (Psalm 145:3).” ... “He that offers praise as a sacrifice glorifies Me (Psalm 50:23).”
When we choose to praise God, we soon discover that the fruit of praise is the “joy” of the Lord.
Forgetting ourselves and our circumstances -- our present anxieties and infirmities -- we offer a “sacrifice of praise” to God (Hebrews 13:15).
"What we learn in the New Testament on charisms, which appeared as visible signs of the coming of the Holy Spirit, is not a historical event of the past, but a reality ever alive. It is the same divine Spirit, soul of the Church, that acts in every age and those mysterious and effective interventions of the Spirit are manifest in our time in a providential way. The Movements and New Communities are like an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in contemporary society. We can, therefore, rightly say that one of the positive elements and aspects of the Community of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal is precisely their emphasis on the charisms or gifts of the Holy Spirit and their merit lies in having recalled their topicality in the Church." _ Address of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI to Charismatic Catholics, October 2008
"...Do not grow weary of turning to Heaven: the world stands in need of prayer. It needs men and women who feel the attraction of Heaven in their life, who make praise to the Lord a new way of life. And may you be joyful Christians! I entrust you all to Mary Most Holy, present in the Upper Room at the event of Pentecost. Persevere with her in prayer, walk guided by the light of the living Holy Spirit, proclaiming the Good News of Christ." _ Address of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI to Charismatic Catholics, May 26, 2012

Halfhearted Commitment to the Faith is Nauseating to Christ: "I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit (vomit) you out of my mouth." (Revelation 3:15-16)
Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. (Romans 12:11)

Evangelii Gaudium
Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis
On the Proclamation of the Gospel in
Today’s World
#259) Spirit-filled evangelizers means evangelizers fearlessly open to the working of the Holy Spirit. At Pentecost, the Spirit made the apostles go forth from themselves and turned them into heralds of God’s wondrous deeds, capable of speaking to each person in his or her own language. The Holy Spirit also grants the courage to proclaim the newness of the Gospel with boldness (parrhesÃa) in every time and place, even when it meets with opposition. Let us call upon him today, firmly rooted in prayer, for without prayer all our activity risks being fruitless and our message empty. Jesus wants evangelizers who proclaim the good news not only with words, but above all by a life transfigured by God’s presence.
#261) Whenever we say that something is “spirited,” it usually refers to some interior impulse which encourages, motivates, nourishes and gives meaning to our individual and communal activity. Spirit-filled evangelization is not the same as a set of tasks dutifully carried out despite one’s own personal inclinations and wishes. How I long to find the right words to stir up enthusiasm for a new chapter of evangelization full of fervor, joy, generosity, courage, boundless love and attraction! Yet I realize that no words of encouragement will be enough unless the fire of the Holy Spirit burns in our hearts. A spirit-filled evangelization is one guided by the Holy Spirit, for he is the soul of the Church called to proclaim the Gospel. Before offering some spiritual motivations and suggestions, I once more invoke the Holy Spirit. I implore him to come and renew the Church, to stir and impel her to go forth boldly to evangelize all peoples.

Meditation for Day 1
Dearest Holy Mother, Most Holy Mary, you undo the knots that suffocate your children. Extend your merciful hands to me. I entrust to you today this
knot [Mention your request here] and all the negative consequences that it provokes in my life. I give you this knot that torments me and makes me unhappy and so impedes me from uniting myself to you and your Son Jesus, my Savior. I run to you, Mary, Undoer of Knots, because I trust you and I know that you never despise a sinning child who comes to ask you for help. I believe that you can undo this knot because Jesus grants you everything. I believe that you want to undo this knot because you are my Mother. I believe that you will do this because you love me with eternal love. Thank you, Dear Mother.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Prayer to Mary, Undoer of Knots
Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exists in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life. You know very well how desperate I am, my pain, and how I am bound by these knots.
Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots in the lives of his children, I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. No one, not even the Evil One himself, can take it away from your precious care. In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone.
Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power with your Son and my Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands today this knot. [Mention your request here] I beg you to undo it for the glory of God, once for all. You are my hope.
O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, the enrichment of my destitution, and, with Christ, the freedom from my chains. Hear my plea. Keep me, guide me, protect me, O safe refuge!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 2
Mary, Beloved Mother, channel of all grace, I return to you today my heart, recognizing that I am a sinner in need of your help. Many times I lose the graces you grant me because of my sins of egoism, pride, rancor and my lack of generosity and humility. I turn to you today, Mary, Undoer of Knots, for you to ask your Son Jesus to grant me a pure, divested, humble and trusting heart. I will live today practicing these virtues and offering you this as a sign of my love for you. I entrust into your hands this knot [Mention your request here] which keeps me from reflecting the glory of God.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 3
Meditating Mother, Queen of heaven, in whose hands the treasures of the King are found, turn your merciful eyes upon me today. I entrust into your holy hands this knot in my life [Mention your request here] and all the rancor and resentment it has caused in me.
I ask Your forgiveness, God the Father, for my sin. Help me now to forgive all the persons who consciously or unconsciously provoked this knot. Give me, also, the grace to forgive me for having provoked this knot. Only in this way can You undo it.
Before you, dearest Mother, and in the Name of your Son Jesus, my Savior, Who has suffered so many offenses, having been granted forgiveness, I now forgive these persons [Mention their names here] and myself, forever. Thank you, Mary, Undoer of Knots for undoing the knot of rancor in my heart and the knot which I now present to you. Amen.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
[Suggestion: You may want to pause, close your eyes, and ask Jesus who you need to forgive. Names and faces will come to your mind. These are the names you should mention.]
Meditation for Day 4
Dearest Holy Mother, you are generous with all who seek you, have mercy on me. I entrust into your hands this knot which robs the peace of my heart, paralyzes my soul and keeps me from going to my Lord and serving Him with my life. Undo this knot in my love [Mention your request here], O Mother, and ask Jesus to heal my paralytic faith, which gets downhearted with the stones on the road. Along with you, dearest Mother, may I see these stones as friends. Not murmuring against them anymore but giving endless thanks for them, may I smile trustingly in your power.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 5
Mother, Undoer of Knots, generous and compassionate, I come to you today to once again entrust this knot [Mention your request here] in my life to you and to ask the divine wisdom to undo, under the light of the Holy Spirit, this snarl of problems. No one ever saw you angry; to the contrary, your words were so charged with sweetness that the Holy Spirit was manifested on your lips. Take away from me the bitterness, anger, and hatred which this knot has caused me. Give me, O dearest Mother, some of the sweetness and wisdom that is all silently reflected in your heart. And just as you were present at Pentecost, ask Jesus to send me a new presence of the Holy Spirit at this moment in my life. Holy Spirit, come upon me!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 6
Queen of Mercy, I entrust to you this knot in my life [Mention your request here] and I ask you to give me a heart that is patient until you undo it. Teach
me to persevere in the living Word of Jesus, in the Eucharist, the Sacrament of Confession; stay with me and prepare my heart to celebrate with the angels the grace that will be granted to me. Amen. Alleluia!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 7
Mother Most Pure, I come to you today to beg you to undo this knot in my life [Mention your request here] and free me from the snares of evil. God has granted you great power over all the demons. I renounce all of them today, every connection I have had with them, and I proclaim Jesus as my one and
only Lord and Savior. Mary, Undoer of Knots, crush the Evil One’s head and destroy the traps he has set for me by this knot. Thank you, dearest Mother. Most Precious Blood of Jesus, free me!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 8
Virgin Mother of God, overflowing with mercy, have mercy on your child and undo this knot [Mention your request here] in my life. I need your visit to my life, like you visited Elizabeth. Bring me Jesus, bring me the Holy Spirit. Teach me to practice the virtues of courage, joyfulness, humility, and faith, and, like Elizabeth, to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Make me joyfully rest on your bosom, Mary. I consecrate you as my Mother, Queen, and friend. I give you my heart and everything I have -- my home and family, my material and spiritual goods. I am yours forever. Put your heart in me so that I can do everything Jesus tells me.
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
Meditation for Day 9
Most Holy Mary, our Advocate, Undoer of Knots, I come today to thank you for undoing this knot in my life. You know very well the suffering it has
caused me. Thank you for coming, Mother, with your long fingers of mercy to dry the tears in my eyes; you receive me in your arms and make it possible for me to receive once again the divine grace. Mary, Undoer of Knots, dearest Mother, I thank you for undoing the knots in my life. Wrap me in your mantle of love, keep me under your protection, enlighten me with your peace. Amen.
[Suggestion: You may want to ask Mary to undo/untie the "knot of unbelief" in a loved one. I have found the Meditations and the Prayer to Mary, Undoer of Knots to be easily adaptable for this intention.]
Eve's disobedience was untied by Mary's obedience: what the virgin Eve bound through her disbelief, Mary loosened by her faith." Comparing her with Eve, they (Early Church Fathers) call Mary "the Mother of the living" and frequently claim: "Death through Eve, life through Mary." CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, #494
Jesus answered (Nicodemus), "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." (John 3:5)
"For every Christian, before his Baptism, was the slave of the Devil, seeing that he belonged to him."_ Saint Louis de Montfort
Fort Wayne, IN (April 2015)
Several months ago, I traveled to a Protestant home in Indiana where there was some mild poltergeist activity, and a 3-year-old boy being attacked in his sleep every night. While I was there, I witnessed this spiritual attack.
At one-o'clock in the morning, the boy suddenly woke up screaming. When I entered his bedroom he was standing in his crib, crying out for his mother. He did not react to my sudden appearance in his room. I sprayed the entire room with holy water. Suddenly, the boy collapsed in the crib and fell fast asleep.
The next morning I chose not to use the House Cleansing Prayer. I thought it might be "too Catholic" for this Protestant family. Instead, I sprayed holy water in every room, closet and hallway. This successfully cleared the home. Then I instructed the parents to do the same, should the need arise in the future.
The 3-year-old boy had not been baptized. The parents attend a Pentecostal church that does not believe in baptizing children. And when they do baptize they use the Unitarian formula, considered to be invalid by the Catholic Church.
[In the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), the Pentecostal Churches are listed among the churches with an "invalid" baptism because they use the Unitarian baptismal formula ("I baptize you in the name of Jesus") rather than the Trinitarian baptismal formula ("I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit").]
I explained that children also have need of baptism to be freed from the powers of darkness. I explained that their son has no protection -- that without baptism, he remains vulnerable to the demonic attacks.
~ * * * ~
In case of necessity, anyone, even a non-baptized person, with the required intention, can baptize, by using the Trinitarian baptismal formula. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes. The Church finds the reason for this possibility in the universal saving will of God and the necessity of Baptism for salvation. (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1256)
In case of necessity, any person can baptize provided that he have the intention of doing that which the Church does and provided that he pours water on the candidate's head while saying: "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

The family and I traveled to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Fort Wayne for holywater. (Before contacting me, the boy's father had come here for help.) I was surprised to find such a large "baptismal font" in the cathedral.
Baptismal Font - Cathedral, Fort Wayne, IN
As we were filling the spray bottle with holy water from the baptismal font, I was faced with a dilemma: Could this 3-year-old boy being attacked in his sleep every night by a demon wait until he becomes a teenager to receive an invalid baptism?
I asked the mother if she would like me to baptize her son. She said, "Yes." So, I baptized the boy using the Trinitarian baptismal formula.
The boy is now a child of God, a new creation in Christ. And the baptism stopped the demonic attacks!

UPDATE (11/18/2015)
I received a call from the Protestant family in Fort Wayne, IN.
The 3-year-old boy is doing well. And, the father is now in the RCIA program.
The Devil attacks what is good and holy -- and perverts it. LGBT (that is, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) is the Devil’s perversion of human sexuality.
Asmodeus is the prince of demons representing one of the seven deadly sins. Asmodeus is the demon of lust that is responsible for twisting people’s sexual desires.

LGBT people are good people -- but they have been deceived… They were not born this way! The Devil tricks normal men and women into thinking and believing they are homosexual or bisexual... and demons of lust, homosexuality and sexual perversion build strongholds in their minds.
The attraction is lust -- not love. It is a demon that causes one to feel lust for -- and become sexually aroused by -- another person of the same sex.
The one with the pitchfork says,
“God made you this way.”
As explained in Many Thoughts Are Spirits (http://catholicdeliverance.blogspot.com/2011/06/many-thoughts-are-spirits.html) thoughts come from three places: the subconscious mind, God and the Devil. The spiritual war takes place in the minds of men and women. Both angels and demons can place thoughts in our minds. They can also project images on our minds.
Sex demons can invade our dreams with pornographic fantasies of having sexual relations -- even with members of the same sex!
Demons tempt many people with shameful, degrading, unnatural passions; they tempt them to commit “sins against nature.” Everything is turned upside down! The “sin of the Sodomites” (homosexual sexual activity) is one of the sins that “cries to heaven” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1867).
Temptation is to be resisted (James 4:7). The majority of people reject “same-sex” thoughts with little effort -- but a minority of people act on them. Some people are more vulnerable in this area of their lives than others. For them, “same-sex” temptations become too difficult to resist. And evil increases insensibly, once it is given in to.
The teaching of the Catholic Church regarding homosexual sexual activity as morally disordered -- constituting grave sin and against the Natural Law which binds all human beings -- is clear.
Once these homosexual temptations and perverted sexual fantasies are yielded to, explored, acted on… a door is opened -- consent is given -- and demons of lust, homosexuality... and sexual perversion can invade and inhabit one's body. This is what I refer to as "partial" possession: One's "sexuality" is now under the control of demons.
Men give up (exchange) natural, sexual relations with women and burn with lust for one another; women give up (exchange) natural, sexual relations with men and burn with lust for one another (Romans 1:26-27). Everything is turned upside down!
LGBT people are good people -- but they have been deceived… They were not born this way! All LGBT people are in need of deliverance -- and inner healing.
It is no surprise to me when I find myself "in the right place, at the right time." But it never ceases to amaze me when I see how much God reallyis "in control." I just keep marching; God directs my path -- and I discover many "divine appointments" along the way.
There are so many people in need of God's healing touch. And many of the healings I witness are actually deliverances! I pray for wounded people in hospitals, churches, private homes and public places... Whenever and wherever I feel prompted by the Holy Spirit, I approach people. And the first question I always ask is, "Are you a believer?"
A positive response to this question is all I need to proceed. (For) The Lord replied,"If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to [this] mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you." (Luke 17:6)
At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed, and called out in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He jumped up and began to walk about. (Acts 14:8-10)
San Francisco, CA (1990) _ I met a man sitting on a sidewalk. As I passed by, he said something derogatory to me. I stopped and listened. The man was a disabled Viet Nam veteran full of anger, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness -- and despair. He was crippled, and blind in one eye.
I asked him if I could touch (and pray for) his blind eye. He gave his consent; I touched his blind eye; and, he immediately saw the brightness of the sun! Then Jesus spoke to him (in his mind) and promised to complete the restoration of his sight after he return home and be reconciled with his parents. And as we walked down the street together, he suddenly realized that he was no longer lame! Glory to God.
"Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Him on the way. (Mark 10:52) [Of course, "faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:17)." And, "all the dead were judged according to their deeds (Revelation 20:13)."]
Where there is no faith, there is no healing.
Although your faith will save you, there are blocks to receiving healing from God. I have been laying hands on people and praying for healing for a long time. (Deliverance is part of God's healing ministry.) Whenever I feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit, I am aware that God may want to use my hands to touch someone. Many are delivered and healed -- but not all.
Unforgiveness is the most common block that I encounter "among the faithful." Other common blocks are pride, anger, envy, bitterness and resentment... It is the Devil who wants you to hold on to anger, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness... He knows these sins are blocks to receiving healing from God.
Forgiveness is not an option:"Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven."(Luke 6:37)... "If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions."(Matthew 6:14-15)
If you are unwilling to forgive others (as an act of the will) -- if you choose to hold on to anger, bitterness, resentment... and unforgiveness -- don't expect to receive healing from God!
Where there is no forgiveness, there is no healing.
You must forgive everyone (alive and dead) -- unconditionally! This is an act of the will -- not a feeling. Your feelings will change -- but you must forgive first. Your forgiveness will set you free, and God will heal the hurt, the pain, the trauma...
Unforgiveness has layers, like an onion -- and each layer must be peeled away. When you are able to recall the damage done (the pain, the trauma...), and it doesn't hurt anymore, you will know your forgiveness is complete.
When I lay hands on someone, I usually ask what is happening... I need to know if the person is receiving the grace! When nothing happens, I know there is a block. Then, I usually ask Jesus to show the person who he/she needs to forgive. And immediately, names and faces come to the forefront of the person's mind. When the names and faces stop coming -- and the person has forgiven everyone -- I lay hands again, and the person usually receives God's grace (God's healing touch).
When you receive Holy Communion, ask Jesus to help you to remove the blocks in your life that prevent you from receiving His grace and blessing... "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6)
If you want to enjoy God's favor, live a holy life!
