Question: Dear Brother Ignatius Mary Thank you for providing this forum which helps those of us who really have nowhere to turn when asking these questions because most Catholics have no idea or believe in Spiritual Warfare. My daughter was given a poem by a friend about two years ago .It is written about a person/event who supposedly existed but does not explain who or what they are. It ends mid sentence and nobody knows to what end this person came to .It is yet to be discovered what . My daughter kept this on her wall for a long time not paying heed to my constant appeals to remove it. About six months ago she took it down and I was elated .However this item is now in her box of collectibles.I have finally got her to agree to get rid of it several days ago but she has not handed it over and I would like to know how to dispose of it and this negative presence it has brought into the house. Since this thing has existed she has suffered anxiety ,depression and social phobia that has required specialist medical treatment.She has also lost her faith.She still comes to mass but only receives a blessing.She cannot stay during the Consecration but comes back for a Blessing .She will sometimes sit in the Adoration Chapel for half of the Mass.I could write ten pages easily and still would not finish recounting everything that has happened. Please pray for my family. Thank you
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Anon: Thank you for your kind comments and knowledge that this site is helpful to people. We will certainly be in prayer for your daughter and our whole family. Since you do not give the contents of the poem I cannot have an idea as to whether this poem may have been the genesis or not of your daughter's problems. If you think there is some sort of demonic attachment to this poem and thus need to destroy it what you need to do is bless the paper with holy water, ask God to remove any curse attached to it and cast out any demonic attachment, then burn the paper until it is consumed. As for your daughter's behavior from the little information given it sounds like there may be more going on that mere teenage or childish obstinance or rebellion. Her avoidance or fear of being present during the Consecration concerns me. I would recommend, in addition to whatever your regular prayers for her are, the following prayers: Prayer for our Children Hedge Prayer of Protection for our HouseHold Any of the other prayers in our Catalog that you think may be helpful you can add to the list. I know that it is heartbreaking for a parent to see a child like this, but you must persevere in the faith and in your prayers. A devotion to St. Monica and St. Dymphna would be advisable too. Here is a prayer to St. Dymphna: Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with spiritual oppression and harassments. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession. Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all suffering such trials, and especially to ________ as she undergos the trials of spiritual affliction. I beg you, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on my behalf. Grant me patience in my sufferings on behalf of my daughter and resignation to your divine will. Please fill me with hope, and grant ______ the relief and cure my daugher so much needs; but nevertheless, Thy will be done. We ask this through Christ our Lord who suffered agony in the garden. Amen We shall be in prayer certainly. If there is more we can do to help, let me know. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Dear Brother Ignatius Mary
Thank you for providing this forum which helps those of us who really have nowhere to turn when asking these questions because most Catholics have no idea or believe in Spiritual Warfare.

My daughter was given a poem by a friend about two years ago .It is written about a person/event who supposedly existed but does not explain who or what they are. It ends mid sentence and nobody knows to what end this person came to .It is yet to be discovered what .

My daughter kept this on her wall for a long time not paying heed to my constant appeals to remove it. About six months ago she took it down and I was elated .However this item is now in her box of collectibles.I have finally got her to agree to get rid of it several days ago but she has not handed it over and I would like to know how to dispose of it and this negative presence it has brought into the house.

Since this thing has existed she has suffered anxiety ,depression and social phobia that has required specialist medical treatment.She has also lost her faith.She still comes to mass but only receives a blessing.She cannot stay during the Consecration but comes back for a Blessing .She will sometimes sit in the Adoration Chapel for half of the Mass.I could write ten pages easily and still would not finish recounting everything that has happened.

Please pray for my family.
Thank you
