Question: Dear Bro Ignatius Mary Thank you for all the effort you and your volunteers put into this site I would like to know if a rape victim is left with any connection to the evil person that has committed this crime against them.If so how do they break this tie with this other person.I am not talking about the obvious scars but am asking in terms of spiritual problems or spiritual warfare. Thank you for your help with this matter
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Anon: Thank you for this very important question. The devil seeks to pervert the sexual faculty in any way possible as an affront to God and to damage God's creation -- us. Rape is sexual violence that is a major weapon Satan uses to harm women (and men too). Rape is such an evil thing that I believe that it is likely that there is a demonic element somewhere. Any man who would rape probably, at least, has a demon on his shoulder if not actually demonized. Because of the nature of sex it is not uncommon to find a transference, that is, where a demonic entity is transferred from the evil rapist to the innocent victim. Such evil pleases the devil. This transference is not something that will always happen, but it can happen. I recommend to those poor souls who have been sexually attacked in any way to pray a prayer such as this: Father in Heaven, I am crying to you for help, healing, and comfort. I have been violated in my body and my soul. Please help me, heal my soul, comfort me O Lord. I also ask Lord that it there be any evil, any demonic attachment, bondage, or transference that has been placed upon me by my attacker be broken, bound and cast away from me. Protect Me, O Lord, from all evil entities of any sort from any source. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Blessed Mother, I need your help. Let me lay my head upon your lap, dear Mother. I just need your arms around me. I ask all this with the intercessions of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Sts. Peter and Paul, Blessed St. Michael the Archangel, Sts Benedict and my Guardian Angel, and Sts Dymphna and Maria Goretti (patronesses of rape victims), and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and holy in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope this prayer will be helpful to all victims of sexual violence. To be honest I began to tear up writing this prayer. Women are the apple of God's eye. This is why the devil targets women so. I wish I could reach out and prevent this evil violence. I wish I could bring comfort to all victims. But, of course I can't, but maybe this prayer can help, I do not know, maybe this prayer will not be helpful. But hopefully my feeble attempt will help. God Bless, Bro.

Dear Anon:

Thank you for this very important question. The devil seeks to pervert the sexual faculty in any way possible as an affront to God and to damage God's creation -- us.

Rape is sexual violence that is a major weapon Satan uses to harm women (and men too). Rape is such an evil thing that I believe that it is likely that there is a demonic element somewhere. Any man who would rape probably, at least, has a demon on his shoulder if not actually demonized.

Because of the nature of sex it is not uncommon to find a transference, that is, where a demonic entity is transferred from the evil rapist to the innocent victim. Such evil pleases the devil.

This transference is not something that will always happen, but it can happen.

I recommend to those poor souls who have been sexually attacked in any way to pray a prayer such as this:

Father in Heaven, I am crying to you for help, healing, and comfort. I have been violated in my body and my soul. Please help me, heal my soul, comfort me O Lord. I also ask Lord that it there be any evil, any demonic attachment, bondage, or transference that has been placed upon me by my attacker be broken, bound and cast away from me. Protect Me, O Lord, from all evil entities of any sort from any source. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Blessed Mother, I need your help. Let me lay my head upon your lap, dear Mother. I just need your arms around me. I ask all this with the intercessions of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Sts. Peter and Paul, Blessed St. Michael the Archangel, Sts Benedict and my Guardian Angel, and Sts Dymphna and Maria Goretti (patronesses of rape victims), and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and holy in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I hope this prayer will be helpful to all victims of sexual violence. To be honest I began to tear up writing this prayer. Women are the apple of God's eye. This is why the devil targets women so. I wish I could reach out and prevent this evil violence. I wish I could bring comfort to all victims. But, of course I can't, but maybe this prayer can help, I do not know, maybe this prayer will not be helpful. But hopefully my feeble attempt will help.
