Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear Kayla: If you are discerning a religious vocation it is typical to receive attacks from the Enemy to make you doubt your vocation. There is no need to focus on discerning whether or not this is a demonic attack. Just presume it to be safe and pray for protection and to rebuke any "spirit of repugnance of prayer" and spirit of "resistance to Mass." Then, determine to say your prayers anyway and to go to Mass anyway even if you don't feel like it. The Bible says to "resist the devil and he will flee." Resist these inclinations regardless of their source and do what you should do. We will be in prayer for your vocation. God Bless, 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. These self-help steps will often resolve the problem. Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.
