Question: On a weekend away, my 9 year old daughter expressed gladness at sleeping in my room on the trip. She said, great, maybe all those people will not be there. What do you mean ? I asked, she went on to share with me that every time she enters my room at home she sees 2 or 3 figures walking around my bed. They walk back and forth , and in and out of my bathroom. When she comes in the room they go into the walls. They come back out again when she climbs into my bed. You have never told me this, I said. She replied that she had, but I just did not believe her. She has often been afraid of my room, especially the bathroom. When I questioned her further, she said they are whitish blueish, just figures of people, not with dresses or wings. She does not want to talk about it further,said it scares her. Should I be concerned ? Is this good or evil ? I have no experience in this - how do I explain it to her? I have considered both having a priest bless my house again,or reading from the bible verses to cast out, but am concerned to open a door. We are practicing Catholics, in a newer home. I often have nightmares, not sure if it relates. I have blessed objects in our home and try to read the Bible daily and pray. advice?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Clare: It would be good to have a priest bless your house. If you cannot find a priest to do that, or need something more intense than a mere blessing, I would recommend the House Cleansing and Blessing (pdf file) that we use. A priest can do this, if you can find one who will, or this can be done on your own, or we can arrange for me to lead in the blessing over the telephone. Overall I recommend the following: 1) have the house blessed (see above) 2) pray appropriate prayers for the household overall and for your child specifically found in our Prayer Catalog (linked below). 3) Bless your bedroom nightly with Holy Water, and also bless your daughter as a regular routine during bedtime prayers. 4) Buy the CD Sleep Sound in Jesus by Michael Card. This CD, I believe, has a special anointing. It is a CD of lullabies but it is effective for both children and adults. It seems to keep demons away. Just play the CD all night long, but on very low volume so it does not disturb sleep. This CD can also be useful in the day time. For example, if you notice that the tension in the house is greater than normal, people are irritable, playing this CD, again on low volume so that it just melds into the background, can help to reduce the tension. Try these strategies and see if that helps. Be aware that at first things may seem to get worse, but that is temporary and only a tactic to get you to stop. Persevere through any of that, if it happens, and continue with these strategies. It should help over time. If you need additional help, let me know. God Bless, Bro.
