How do a prepar my self or what do you recommend I do? A priest went already and they say she still the same. What do you recomend?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Sergio: Well your Charismatic Group is wrong, as usual, about these things. You are NOT to try to deliver this woman, unless you have the training and calling by God. It is very dangerous for the woman and for the person trying to deliver the woman to attempt this when the person has not been trained to do this sort of thing. You can pray intercessory prayers for this woman, which does not require you to be in her presence at all. Some of the prayers in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog may be used for this. But, under no circumstances should you prayer "over her" in an attempt to deliver her from evil spirits unless you have been called by God to be a deliverance counselor and you have been trained to perform that task. First off, neither you nor this Charismatic group are qualified to make the diagnosis that the woman is "possessed." Secondly, if she is actually possessed, then only a priest, with permission of his bishop, can perform the Rite of Exorcism. Sometimes the Rite of Exorcism must be performed several times. Thirdly, if she is demonized, but not possessed, then as mentioned, you are not qualified to perform a deliverance. Do not play doctor when you barely know first aid or you may harm this woman and yourself. God bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
