Question: Dear Brother Ignatius Mary I hope that you're well and thank you for the effort that you put into this apostolate. I am very concerned.One of my children came to me and told me that as a a child she believes she made a promise of her soul to the devil if he made her beautiful and made sure she got attention.She was crying as she told me.She is terrified of dying because she is afraid she won't go to heaven.I told her that she should confess this as soon as possible I am hoping within days and that by doing the appropriate penance given to her by the priest that she did not need to worry about this.I am sure that God's Mercy will prevail.She is convinced that she is going to die soon . It concerns me is that she has spoken of seeing a dark figure in her sister's room.This was her room in the past and she says that this is where this promise happened.My other daughter who moved into this room has needed help for anxiety. depression and social phobia. She says she no longer believes in God and refuses to take Holy Communion.Today was the first day in over a year that she spent time out of the house without a family member. Is The Sacrament of Penance enough to help my daughter ? Is there something evil in this room and is it safe for my other child to stay in it? Has this effected my daughter who moved into this room? She had such a love of God ,Mary and the church and has now lost her faith and the ability to do the basic things out of the home.She loved coming to Adoration with me. The child that made this promise has just told me that she has felt depressed and anxious for years but especially now. She does visit the Blessed Sacrament regularly although she did stop for about a month and then returned.She has gone weekly for about three years. My husband told me that she asked him to have the house blessed again.I have had our house blessed at least twice by our Parish Priest. My husband wants to have it blessed again because he thinks that there is something going on in our house because he has had his legs pulled whist he was sleeping and many other things keep happening.I have also seen a hideous creature in it a few times and the last time was when I was dusting and placing the statues back on our little altar that we keep in the house It also shouted at me another time and I was so shocked that I could only pray.I have never allowed it to scare me out of the house but I am sick of this and wish it would stop. I truly feel that we are all under attack but I pray continuously and your site has really helped.We have prayed the recommended prayers but are happy to do so again.I am committed to the Daily Rosary and we go to Sunday Mass as a family. I used to go to Daily Mass but am now working.God has given us so many blessings and I hope He continues to Bless you and your apostolate.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Anon: Thank you for your concern of my health. As it happened, and as a notice to everyone. I may have to the hospital on Tuesday (August 7th). I hope it will be only for a few days, but could be for two weeks. So if I do not answer incoming questions within the three day period as usual, that is why. I am sorry to hear about this situation with your daughter and family. The Sacrament of Penance will take care of the sin your daughter committed if she makes a good confession. The Sacrament restores her to a state of grace and thus the consequences of hell from her promise to the devil is canceled forever. She has nothing to fear in that respect. The Sacrament removes the sin. Although the sin is removed by the Sacrament of Penance, the residue may still remain. What I mean by that is that while the sin is gone, erased, removed, the devil may still harass her and your family. To get rid of this harassment may involve some work. The Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance located in the HELP section linked below is the first step that I would recommend. Also, praying spiritual warfare prayers (linked below) need to be done. The Hedge Prayers, Rebuking Particular Spirits, Breaking Spells and Curses, and the Household Cleansing Prayer should be done, plus any others that are applicable. Our Household Cleansing and Blessing (pdf file) is especially designed to deal with demonic problems in the home -- this it is more than a mere House Blessing. It includes the official house blessing currently in print, plus language from various sources going all the way back to the 16th century to cleanse a house. This Household Cleansing and Blessing can be performed by a priest, yourself, or I can lead you in the prayer over the phone (if you have a cordless phone). If your children or yourself are experiencing things in the home, I recommend the rosary, the Bedtime Prayer of Protection, hedge prayers of protection, rebuking particular spirits (if applicable), and also play a music CD called Sleep Sound in Jesus by Michael Card. This CD is a collection of lullabies, but is good for older children and for adults. It is truly anointed and is very effective in keeping demons away. Just play the CD all night long in the child's bedroom with volume low so as not to disturb sleep. The singing of these Godly lullabies tends to keep the demons away. This CD can be used throughout the house. Play the CD low to that it blends into the background and it tends to reduce tension in the house, tension and irritability between spouses and generally brings a sense of peace. There are no guarantees, of course, but we have found this CD to be very effective. If you do not find any relief from all these strategies, then you may need to contact me for a personal consultation. We will be in prayer for your daugther, and your whole family. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance.

It concerns me is that she has spoken of seeing a dark figure in her sister's room.This was her room in the past and she says that this is where this promise happened.My other daughter who moved into this room has needed help for anxiety. depression and social phobia.

She says she no longer believes in God and refuses to take Holy Communion.Today was the first day in over a year that she spent time out of the house without a family member.

Is The Sacrament of Penance enough to help my daughter ?

Is there something evil in this room and is it safe for my other child to stay in it?

She had such a love of God ,Mary and the church and has now lost her faith and the ability to do the basic things out of the home.She loved coming to Adoration with me.
