Question: Dear Brother, i do have some questions for you but first I thought i should give some background: When my mother was living with her sister, since she was separated from my father, my cousin was kidnapped,and murdered. There was some time before her body was discovered, and my aunt and mom, desperate, even consulted psychics. I believe this was when my mother really began to experience spiritual problems. . My mother became involved with almost every form of occultism there is, tarot cards, seances, channelling, palm reading, etc. She even invited spirits into her body. She heard voices, and at least one of these was so malevolent that it disturbed her. She didn't even like to speak about 'him". We are certain that my mother cursed my father, probably many times. He has had a series of painful, unusual health problems, and was forced to stop working altogether . My mother had a psychotic break and became homeless. Once my sister who although not a Catholic is a devout and committed Christian) and I visited my mother when she was still homeless and my sister told me the evil was very strng there, so strong it sort of 'tugged' at you. My mother did receive treatment for some years but again willingly chose to abandon where she lived and become homeless, having stopped taking her meds. She now believes that she is God,or a god. All three of us children have experienced emotional problems, and health problems, and sometimes spiritual difficulties. My questions are: 1- Is there anything that can be done to help my father, since he is not a Christian himself? 2-Is there anything besides prayer that can be done(or should be done) for my mother, since she is so in love with the negative spiritual influences in her life? Frankly I do not want contact with her, as I said above the evil in her life is almost palpable. 3- What can we do to reject the negative spiritual influence of our parents? Any advice you might have would be welcomed.
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Kayla: I am so sorry to hear about the death of your cousin and the deterioration of your family. It is not unusual when tragedy strikes for people to resort to the occult. The consequences of this can be dire as seems to have happened in your family. Freedom from the evil attachments is really not possible unless the people so afflicted are willing to some forward and receive help and to give their lives over to Christ. 1) You can try to talk to your father about the need to allow Christ in his life and by that he may find freedom from these afflictions. Otherwise as a non-Christian I expect that he would not be willing to pray prayers that might help him. And besides prayers are not magic. The power of prayers is from the faith of the person who prays them and the grace of God who answers them. Nevertheless maybe your father would pray some prayers asking God to help him. God may answer him in such a way that he might even convert. 2) You can try to talk to your mother to convince her to come home to the Church, but if that is not possible, you can pray spiritual warfare prayers on her behalf. With those prayers perhaps she will come to her sense and seek help. There is a Prayer for a Wayward Person in our Catalog linked below. That prayer, the hedge prayer on behalf of your parents, and even the rebuking particular spirits prayer may be useful. The breaking of curses and spells on behalf of your father may be helpful. 3) For yourself and siblings be sure to prayer the Renunciation of Ancestral Sins. This will close the door to demons that have been invited into the family by the actions of your mother or other relatives. The Hedge Prayer of Protection should certainly be prayed regularly. Any other prayers in the Catalog that are useful you should pray. Be sure to live the best Catholic life you can. This is important in the face of all this negativity and perhaps demonic presence. Unfortunately, it may also be necessary to sever contact with your mother. Only you can make that decision, but if being around her causes evil to happen in your own life it may be necessary. Hopefully, such a drastic action may help your mother to see the seriousness of what she is doing and finally seek help someday. We will certainly be in prayer for you, your mother and father, and your entire family. God bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.

Question:

Dear Brother,
i do have some questions for you but first I thought i should give some background:

When my mother was living with her sister, since she was separated from my father, my cousin was kidnapped,and murdered. There was some time before her body was discovered, and my aunt and mom, desperate, even consulted psychics. I believe this was when my mother really began to experience spiritual problems. .

My mother became involved with almost every form of occultism there is, tarot cards, seances, channelling, palm reading, etc. She even invited spirits into her body. She heard voices, and at least one of these was so malevolent that it disturbed her. She didn't even like to speak about 'him".

We are certain that my mother cursed my father, probably many times. He has had a series of painful, unusual health problems, and was forced to stop working altogether . My mother had a psychotic break and became homeless.

Once my sister who although not a Catholic is a devout and committed Christian) and I visited my mother when she was still homeless and my sister told me the evil was very strng there, so strong it sort of 'tugged' at you. My mother did receive treatment for some years but again willingly chose to abandon where she lived and become homeless, having stopped taking her meds.

She now believes that she is God,or a god. All three of us children have experienced emotional problems, and health problems, and sometimes spiritual difficulties.

My questions are:
1- Is there anything that can be done to help my father, since he is not a Christian himself?

2-Is there anything besides prayer that can be done(or should be done) for my mother, since she is so in love with the negative spiritual influences in her life? Frankly I do not want contact with her, as I said above the evil in her life is almost palpable.

3- What can we do to reject the negative spiritual influence of our parents? Any advice you might have would be welcomed.

Dear Kayla:

I am so sorry to hear about the death of your cousin and the deterioration of your family. It is not unusual when tragedy strikes for people to resort to the occult. The consequences of this can be dire as seems to have happened in your family.

Freedom from the evil attachments is really not possible unless the people so afflicted are willing to some forward and receive help and to give their lives over to Christ.

1) You can try to talk to your father about the need to allow Christ in his life and by that he may find freedom from these afflictions.
