AxFactor Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Last week I was at Search at a convent.(This post will remain vauge in terms of places, and names for privacy purposes). I was serving on Prayer Backup and we had a mass for us at 2:00 pm. While the host was being consecrated the priests eyes rolled in the back of his head !! It creeped us out but we thought nothing of it. LAter that night we prayed the Divine Chaplet at the Holy Hour. Around 9:30 pm we started a scripture Rosary, while doing this the lights were flickering like othing before, and there were noises from up above. (the rest of the retreat was above us in the chapel). Before we closed the Rosary session we ended it in a prayer to St. Micheal the Archangel. 10 mins later the organizer for the Search came down and had told us a demon had been driven out of a new Searcher. He said it unlike anything he had seen before and after the event he said he looked "cleaner" than before. This all took place while we were praying our rosary and had all the new searchers as our intentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]887332[/snapback][/right] [/quote] epilepsy can be caused by demonic possession. anything is possible... especially more demonic activity with all that is going on in the world.

Brother Adam Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Our liturgy is filled with rites of exorcism. They happen at Baptism and again at Confirmation. To deny the possibility of exorcisms is to deny what is implicitely Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Punk Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I have never experiance anything like this before, but I believe it could be demonic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Before you decide something is demonic you must rule out all physical causes. Call a neurologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Bro. Adam Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I believe they are real, and occur in present day. But like Cmom said, you need to rule out all possibilities first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avemaria40 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I agree w/Cmom, see if there is something else going on, if not, then call the exorcist That is scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Of couse exorcisms are real. The Church has a rite of Exorcism and most of the Sacrament of Baptism is an exorcism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezic Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 i would say that if this is true (and i believe it is, i know the guy) then it was likely a demon. Maybe not full blown, but it was something. That convent is prayerful. There is a power in the air. They pray a lot. Some of them are nearly saints just waiting to be canonized. (to quote a spiritual director from here) I can't say i am surprised. Thank God that it is gone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy me Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Having lived in New Orleans where Voodoo is practiced, I believe in exorcisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Of course I believe! Or else I wouldn't believe in many of Jesus' miracles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
