Adam Blai, paritus of the Roman Catholic Church in Religious Demonology and Exorcism to the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, has witnessed and assisted at many solemn exorcisms over the years. “I’ve never seen her for myself,” he admits to his riveted audience, “but every soul who has seen her says she is the most beautiful woman they have ever laid eyes on.” I count myself fortunate to have heard him speak recently at The Shrine of Our Lady Comforter of the Afflicted in Youngstown, Ohio. In his presentation titled Traps of the Enemy Now Celebrated in Our Culture Mr. Blai lamented that around the world the Church has ceased to catechize the faithful in spiritual warfare and observed that Christians in general seem embarrassed to even bring it up. Blai has seen first-hand how the rise in practice of wicca, witchcraft, satanism, necromancy, and new age philosophies and rituals, all forbidden by the Church, have resulted in the destruction of real lives. “Young adult sections in bookstores are loaded with books that soften the impressions of the darkness,” he said. He also discussed television and film, particularly how Hollywood will produce entertainment glamorizing these forbidden practices, and don’t care how much damage they cause. The damage is done when we turn to a created spirit to gain what we want, rather than waiting on the Lord, and in doing so we hand our bodies and possessions over to the enemy. “We have been given authority over our bodies and our property,” he said, “and we must keep that authority.” That authority was given to us by God, and His authority trumps all. We should also continue to seek protection from Mary. The Lord Jesus shares that authority with His mother. The powers of hell are no match for her. Mr. Blai discussed how during difficult cases, the exorcist and his team will be stalled, getting nowhere with the demon. Someone will simply suggest praying a few decades of the rosary, and the demon reacts in terror: “not her, anything but her!” Blai discussed how the evil one and his cohort cannot bear to be in her presence. She terrifies them, because she is the source of our salvation, the willing vessel of the Word Incarnate, the woman who, with her Son, would crush the head of the serpent. “Some of these afflicted souls have never heard of Mary, have no idea what the Church teaches about her, and even they are overwhelmed by her beauty. They’ll ask, ‘who was that woman? I have never seen someone so beautiful!’ He continues: “When Our Lady arrives, their expression totally changes. They suddenly have a look of joy on their face. Many smile. Many cry. She is very powerful. And that power was given to her by her Son. “And why wouldn’t He give her everything? It is her blood that flows through His veins. Jesus had no earthly father. His DNA is her DNA. Everything He is in His humanity is from her. She was the first person to reflect the face of love to Him.” He finished with a story he stumbled upon by a seer he did not name. While he stressed that this seer has not been vetted by the Church, Blai recognizes in this brief story depth of love between Jesus and His mother: “Jesus was dying on the cross, and there was she was, right there with him until the end, but she couldn’t hold him or comfort him. So, she sang to Him a lullaby, just as she sang to Him when He was a child. That is the heart of a mother.” Jesus shares everything with His mother, and with great humility, she does everything He asks. “They are united on a level we just cannot imagine.” To learn more about Adam Blai’s ministry, visit his website at religiousdemonology.com.

The Spiritual Meditations of St. Francis de Sales – TENTH MEDITATION

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Humble yourself before Him, and ask His Aid. Considerations 1. Once more imagine yourself in an open plain, alone with your guardian Angel, and represent to yourself on the left hand the Devil sitting on a high and mighty throne, surrounded by a vast troop of worldly men, who bow bareheaded before him, doing homage to him by the various sins they commit. Study the countenances of the miserable courtiers of that most abominable king: some raging with fury, envy and passion, some murderous in their hatred; others pale and haggard in their craving after wealth, or madly pursuing every vain and profitless pleasure; others sunk and lost in vile, impure affections. See how all alike are hateful, restless, wild: see how they despise one another, and only pretend to an unreal self-seeking love. Such is the miserable reign of the abhorred Tyrant. 2. On the other hand, behold Jesus Christ Crucified, calling these unhappy wretches to come to Him, and interceding for them with all the Love of His Precious Heart. Behold the company of devout souls and their guardian Angels, contemplate the beauty of this religious Kingdom. What lovelier than the troop of virgin souls, men and women, pure as lilies: widows in their holy desolation and humility; husbands and wives living in all tender love and mutual cherishing. See how such pious souls know how to combine their exterior and interior duties; to love the earthly spouse without diminishing their devotion to the Heavenly Bridegroom. Look around, one and all you will see them with loving, holy, gentle countenances listening to the Voice of their Lord, all seeking to enthrone Him more and more within their hearts. They rejoice, but it is with a peaceful, loving, sober joy; they love, but their love is altogether holy and pure. Such among these devout ones as have sorrows to bear, are not disheartened thereby, and do not grieve overmuch, for their Saviour’s Eye is upon them to comfort them, and they all seek Him only. 3. Surely you have altogether renounced Satan with his weary miserable troop, by the good resolutions you have made; but nevertheless you have not yet wholly attained to the King Jesus, or altogether joined His blessed company of devout ones: you have hovered betwixt the two. 4. The Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, St. Louis, St. Monica, and hundreds of thousands more who were once like you, living in the world, call upon you and encourage you. 5. The Crucified King Himself calls you by your own name: Come, O my beloved, come, and let Me crown thee! The Choice 1. O world, O vile company, never will I enlist beneath thy banner; for ever I have forsaken thy flatteries and deceptions. O proud king, monarch of evil, infernal spirit, I renounce thee and all thy hollow pomp, I detest thee and all thy works. 2. And turning to Thee, O Sweet Jesus, King of blessedness and of eternal glory, I cleave to Thee with all the powers of my soul, I adore Thee with all my heart, I choose Thee now and ever for my King, and with inviolable fidelity I would offer my irrevocable service, and submit myself to Thy holy laws and ordinances. 3. O Blessed Virgin Mother of God, you shall be my example, I will follow you with all reverence and respect. O my good Angel, bring me to this heavenly company, leave me not until I have reached them, with whom I will sing for ever, in testimony of my choice, Glory be to Jesus, my Lord!

PLACE yourself in the Presence of God. 2. Humble yourself before Him, and ask His inspiration. Considerations 1. Imagine yourself alone with your good angel in an open plain, as was Tobit on his way to Rages. Suppose the Angel to set before you Paradise, full of delights and joys; and on the other hand Hell, with all its torments. Contemplate both, kneeling in imagination before your guardian Angel. Consider that you are most truly standing between Hell and Paradise, and that both the one and the other are open to receive you, according to your own choice. 2. Consider that the choice you make in this life will last for ever in the next. 3. Consider too, that while both are open to receive you according to your choice, yet God, Who is prepared to give the one by reason of His Justice, the other by reason of His Mercy, all the while desires unspeakably that you should select Paradise; and your good Angel is urging you with all his might to do so, offering you countless graces on God’s part, countless helps to attain to it. 4. Consider that Jesus Christ, enthroned in Heaven, looks down upon you in loving invitation: O beloved one, come unto Me, and joy for ever in the eternal blessedness of My Love! Behold His mother yearning over you with maternal tenderness, Courage, my child, do not despise the Goodness of my Son, or my earnest prayers for thy salvation. Behold the Saints, who have left you their example, the millions of holy souls who long after you, desiring earnestly that you may one day be for ever joined to them in their song of praise, urging upon you that the road to Heaven is not so hard to find as the world would have you think. Press on boldly, dear friend, they cry. Whoso will ponder well the path by which we came hither, will discover that we attained to these present delights by sweeter joys than any this world can give. The Choice 1. O Hell, I abhor thee now and for ever; I abhor thy griefs and torments, thine endless misery, the unceasing blasphemies and maledictions which thou pourest out upon my God; and turning to thee, O blessed Paradise, eternal glory, unfading happiness, I choose thee for ever as my abode, thy glorious mansions, thy precious and abiding tabernacles. O my God, I bless Thy Mercy which gives me the power to choose, O Jesus, Saviour, I accept Thine Eternal Love, and praise Thee for the promise Thou hast given me of a place prepared for me in that blessed New Jerusalem, where I shall love and bless Thee for ever. 2. Dwell lovingly upon the example set before you by the Blessed Virgin and the Saints, and strive to follow where they point you. Give yourself up to your guardian Angel, that he may be your guide, and gird up your courage anew to make this choice. Subscribe for our FREE Newsletter Submit You have been successfully Subscribed!

The Monastery of St. Michael of the Golden Domes is a monastery operating in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The monastery is located on the right bank of the Dnjepar River, on the edge of the cliff northeast of the Cathedral of St. Sophia. And just in the sky above the Golden Monastery, something mysterious happened, accidentally or not during these war days. The mysterious white CROSS appeared in the sky above the Ukrainian capital, manifesting right next to the golden domes of the cathedral, writes a foreign portal. A cross in the sky is spotted 2. March 2022 thanks to live images from the surveillance camera of the monastery of St. Michael the protector of this city. In the photo taken from the camera video we can see the white cross under the cloud a short distance from the dome of St. Cathedral. She is a friend. Analysis of the image excludes the glare or flash of the lens because at that time it was very cloudy above the city and therefore there was no sunlight. The picture shows the Christian cross, a symbol of faith and hope. It is no accident that the cross appeared above the St. Cathedral. Mihovila that was demolished by the Soviet authorities in 1930. the year, and restored and completed in 1991. the years, the years when Ukraine was declared independence. This cross is clearly a message to Russia that has attacked Ukraine these days and launched a very violent war action. Yesterday in the sky above Kherson in Ukraine, a luminous cross appeared again.

The Saint Of Today, August 27: Saint Monica, Mother Of St. Augustine. Powerful Supplication For A Grace

HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE FREE DOWNLOADS CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS HOME ABOUT M&R MYSTICS ON M & R Privacy Policy ARTICLES BOOKS DONATE FREE DOWNLOADS CONTACT US PRAYER REQUESTS LIVE PRAYERS WATCH ONLINE The Saint Of Today, August 27: Saint Monica, Mother Of St. Augustine. Powerful Supplication For A Grace Saint Monica, Mother of Saint Augustine: life and prayer Saint Monica is one of the greatest examples of a Christian woman, wife and mother; thanks to her prayers, St. Augustine converted to Christianity. The story Monica was born in 331 in Tagaste, in present-day Algeria, in a lying family; She received a good education and from a young age he read and meditated on the Bible. A Christian woman, cultured and free, therefore, with a heart oriented to spiritual treasures. What we know about her biography is derived from the writings of Augustine: in particular in the Confessions the great bishop retraces his tortuous, troubled personal history and often speaks to us of his mother. We know, therefore, that Monica married Patrick and that she gave birth to three children. Her husband was a man of harsh and difficult character, whom she nevertheless knew how to welcome with sweetness and also approach the faith and who was baptized in 371, shortly before her death. Monica, at the age of 39, found herself alone at the helm of the house, also having to take over the administration of the goods. We know that to her three children the woman passed on Christian education from an early age. Augustine himself says that he drank the name of Jesus together with his mother’s milk and that he was inscribed, as soon as he was born, among the catechumens. Growing up, however, came, as is known, the estrangement: the young man took other paths, seduced by the rhetoric and philosophical-religious currents most in vogue in those years, such as Manichaeism, but above all he began an unscrupulous and unregulated life, between Carthage and Rome. This is not why Monica gave up, but continued to accompany her son with love and prayer. In 385 we find her in Milan, where Augustine taught rhetoric. And it was precisely there that the great change took place: thanks to the preaching of Saint Ambrose, after so many hardships, Augustine embraced the Christian faith, setting out on that path of holiness that we know well today and that has left an indelible mark over the centuries. Monica was present at her baptism in 387. Since then the two have not separated. Determined to embark on a monastic life, Augustine decided to return to Africa, stopping, as an intermediate stage, in Ostia. It is in this place, in the serene quiet of a home, that spiritual conversations of extraordinary intensity took place between mother and son, which Augustine chose to transcribe and which still today represent a guide for many seekers of God. There the saint fell ill, perhaps of malaria and in nine days she died, she was 56 years old. It was August 27, 387. Monica’s tenacity, sweetness and sensitivity make her the patron saint of married women, mothers and widows. (Source santiebeati.it – Author: Lorenzo Montanaro) Prayer To St Monica Wife and mother of unspeakable evangelical virtues, to whom the Good Lord has granted Grace, through her unshakable faith before every tribulation and her constant trusting prayer, to see her husband Patrick and her son Augustine converted, accompany and guide us, brides and mothers on our arduous journey towards holiness. Saint Monica, you who have reached the peaks of the Most High, from above watch and intercede for us who are floundering in the dust among a thousand and a thousand difficulties. To you we entrust our children, make them a beautiful copy of your Augustine and give us the joy of living with them moments of intense spirituality as you lived in Ostia, to be together where you are. Collect all our tears, water the wood of the Cross of our Jesus so that abundant heavenly and eternal graces may flow from it! Saint Monica pray and intercede for all of us.
