Angels and Demons

 

https://youtu.be/yoPljzLIEl8

 

 

29th September, the Church celebrates the feast of the holy Archangels, Saint Michael, Saint Gabriel and Saint Raphael, all of whom appear in the Bible. Considering this is their Feast, it may be worth taking a moment to look at Angels in connection with the message of Divine Mercy. Angels seems to have several specific roles in the Diary – sometimes, to direct the young Sister Faustina and to call her to prayer, and at other times, to protect and guard her.

It is easy to overlook the place of Angels in the Diary of St Faustina. Be that as it may, they figure many times in her writing. Perhaps most often, she writes about her own Guardian Angel, such as on this occasion when he tells her to pray –

“When I went to the garden one afternoon, my Guardian Angel said to me, ‘Pray for the dying’. And so, I began at once to pray the Rosary with the gardeners for the dying. After the Rosary, we said various prayers for the dying.” (Diary, para.314)

There are other occasions, in Notebook II, where St Faustina’s Guardian Angel again directs her to pray, this time for a particular soul, who is close to death (Diary, para.820 and 828). On other occasions, her Guardian Angel is the one she prays to for protection from evil spirits –

“I fell asleep as soon as I lay down, but at about eleven o’clock, Satan shook my bed. I awoke instantly, and I started to pray peacefully to my Guardian Angel.” (Diary, para.412)

And on various occasions, her Guardian Angel appears to her in visible form, such as on this occasion –

“A great multitude of demons blocked my way.. seeing their great hatred for me, I immediately asked my Guardian Angel for help, and at once, the bright and radiant figure of my Guardian Angel appeared and said to me, ‘Do not fear, spouse of my Lord, without His permission these spirits will do you no harm’. Immediately, the evil spirits vanished, and the faithful Guardian Angel accompanied me, in a visible manner, right to the very house. His look was modest and peaceful, and a flame of fire sparkled from his forehead.” (Diary, para.418-419)

At other times, St Faustina would hear the Angels but without seeing them –

“Today is the renewal – that is, the profession of vows in the course of a solemn celebration. As the Sisters were making their vows, I heard Angels singing in various tones, ‘Holy, Holy Holy’, with chanting so delightful that no human tongue could ever match it.” (Diary, para.1111)

On some occasions, the Angels seen by St Faustina seem to be other than her own Guardian Angel. In Notebook I of her Diary, St Faustina describes having a deep longing for God, at which moment –

“I beheld a Spirit of great beauty .. This Spirit is very beautiful and his beauty comes from close union with God” (Diary, para.471)

Looking upon him, the Angel told her –

“I am one of the seven Spirits who stand before the Throne of God day and night and give Him ceaseless praise” (Diary, para.471)

These seven Spirits are mentioned in another passage of St Faustina’s Diary –

“Then I saw one of the seven Spirits near me, radiant as at other times, under a form of light. I constantly saw him beside me when I was riding on the train. I saw an Angel on every Church we passed, but surrounded by a light which was paler than that of the Spirit who was accompanying me on the journey, and each of these Spirits who were guarding the Churches bowed his head to the Spirit who was near me.. I thank God for His goodness, that He gives us Angels as companions.” (Diary, para.630)

Perhaps the most singular mention of Angels is in Notebook I, where St Faustina records the occasion on which she was given the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. This took place on Friday 13th September 1935 –

“In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw an Angel, the executor of Divine wrath. He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his face gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the cloud, bolts of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing into his hands; and from his hand they were going forth, and only then were they striking the earth. When I saw this sign of divine wrath which was about to strike the earth.. I began to implore the Angel to hold off.. and the world would do penance. But my plea was a mere nothing in the face of the divine anger.. At that very moment, I felt in my soul the power of Jesus’ grace, which dwells in my soul.. I found myself pleading with God for the world, with words heard interiorly. As I was praying in this manner, I saw the Angel’s helplessness; he could not carry out the just punishment which was rightly due for sins. Never before had I prayed with such inner power as I did then. The words with which I entreated God are these – Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” (Diary, para.474-475)

You may recognise here marked similarities to the third part of the Secret given to the children at Fatima; there, too, an Angel is sent as the executor of the wrath of God, but his efforts are thwarted by means of the Most Blessed Virgin, who intercedes for humanity and obtains God’s mercy for the world.

This would appear to bring together the theme of reparative prayer, strongly present both at Fatima and in the message of Divine Mercy, as a means of staying the just anger of God. In the Diary of St Faustina, we are explicitly given the very prayer with which to do this – the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

Angels play a significant part in both the message of Divine Mercy and the life of St Faustina, and the message of Fatima; on both occasions, they prepare the way for what will follow, they direct those to whom they are sent and solicit prayer, and they are portrayed as the executors of the just anger of the Most High; and yet, this reparative prayer prevents them from fulfilling this part of their mission. There is a lesson there for every one of us.

Mary and the Dragon - Revelation 12

 

 

Mary is Queen of Heaven Revelation 12:1:And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. The picture Revelation paints serves as the biblical outline for the Church’s dogma of Mary’s Assumption. Mary is Daughter Zion, the woman who gave birth to the world’s Savior. Because she is the New Eve, she is free from the shadow of sin and its consequences. This includes the long-term separation of soul and body that exists for the rest of us as we wait for the resurrection of the body at the end of time. Mary has been taken up into heaven by God to join her Son in the place He prepared for her. And in that place, as Christ the King’s mother, she sits at His right hand, wearing the crown of the Queen Mother. Additional scriptural evidence for Mary’s Assumption lies in the fact that there are at least two fore-shadowings of it in the Old Testament as seen with Enoch and Elijah.

Catholics view Mary as the person who will defeat satan on earth. But she will not do it alone. Everyone who is consecrated to Jesus through Mary will help her in her God given mission to defeat the enemy. As the Archangel Gabriel once said - "HAIL FULL OF GRACE !"

Mary’s Book Of Preparation For End Times - for your discernment

1. INTRODUCTION FROM THE MOTHER OF THE WORLD

“My dear children:
The reason for this book is not to make you afraid of God, for He so loves you, whom He has created, but for you to know what He has promised to happen to those who turn away from God, and His Laws for you.

Your world has broken every Commandment God gave to you. My children, you have become materialistic to the point you can now order the sex and color of skin, eyes and hair of a child you want to conceive.

You have taken death into your own hands by abortion, assisted suicide, and death-potions for your elderly.

You have decided to re-create your animals, and are trying to re-create man. This is abominable.

Your scientists are not trying to find cures for the diseases plagued on mankind, but are trying to harvest organs and limbs.
Children do not honor their parents, and families are torn apart.

You are living in a society reeking of crime and filth.

My children put themselves first above everything, and this is what you are teaching your children, -love of self, money and worldly goods.

Marriage between a man and woman is being challenged, divorces are high, and easily obtainable. Many just enjoy living in sin, where there is no marriage.

Wars are too common,–so much hatred and violence! Every leader wants to be the ‘leader of the world.’

This can NOT go on!

I want you to know what’s going to happen to the world as you know it now, and for you to be able to repent of your sins now.
Make use often of your Sacraments of Confession and Communion. Go to Mass and participate with Jesus. Live the Commandments given by God, read your Gospels and spread them around. Teach about your Church, God and His Commandments, for by doing so now, you may be saved from the chastisements about to befall mankind.
My children, I ask you not to just keep this book, but to give it to your relations, friends, and also to your enemies. Give it to those you do not know. Many will not be able to comprehend what is written, many will not want to believe.
My children, you need to save as many souls as you can.
-Your Mother Of The World, Mary.”

2. CHAPTER ONE

My Dear Children, when you see the events listed below, know that the time of your WARNING will be very near.

1. Earthquakes /Tremors

2. Tidal waves / your earth falling in to the water

3. Volcanos erupting, where they have been quiet for years.

4. Weather changes, cold where its hot, and hot where its cold.

5. Severe weather, hurricanes, tornadoes monsoons, etc.

6. Severe world economy problems

7. Stock market problems

8. Famine / droughts water shortages

9. Murder and hate crimes rampant

10. Wars and attempts at war, showing of powers

11. Crop damages, crop failure

12. Animal population dying, sickness

3. YOUR WARNING IS ABOUT TO START

Right now my children, you should be praying to God to Mitigate these awful events that are to befall on you. Keep yourselves in or near a state of Grace, Pleasing to God.

1. Pray, for the conversion of sinners, for the aborted babies, for all the lives that are taken, for the abuses against God, the sacrileges, for the Masonry that has entered your churches, and the city of Peter, for your Holy Priests, your Pope. Pray your Rosary.

2. Attend Mass, Practice your Sacraments of Confession and Communion, Read your Scriptures, and live your Commandments from God.

3. Be loving of heart and kind to all those you come in contact with, try to teach them of your Faith, your scriptures. Show how loving you are to God, and tell of His love for all of mankind.

4. Store up some foods and water, have Blessed Candles to burn for light Keep with you Holy Water, Salt, and Oil.

5. Make sure you have blankets, and a first aid kit on hand.

6. Keep your Sacramentals on you and in your homes and vehicles. Your Bibles and prayer books. I gave you one with prayers that you may need as the end times progress. There are some more instructions for you at the end of this booklet.

4. NOW YOU ASK, WHAT IS THE WARNING?

This I tell you every child, man and woman, on your earth, at the same instant of time, regardless of, nationality, religion, where they are, or what they are doing, WILL experience this WARNING. It will be your soul bared before you. You will know every sin you ever committed, every unkind word, deed, thought that wasn’t pleasing to God. You will know where your soul stands with God, Your Father. Many things will have to be accounted for, my children, and at this time you will know what they are, and HOW to account for them, even the unbelievers, will know what they must do to make their souls clean for God, to prepare for My Son, Jesus’ second coming. When this Warning comes, all peoples will know that what has been prophesied to you was true, and will know the coming events WILL occur, as stated in Sacred Scripture.

After this WARNING has taken place, there will be such chaos in your world, and time will not matter, Life as you normally live it will forever be changed. Many people will be trying to get to the Church, to find out how to do the things that must be done to clean their souls for God. Many of Gods people will need to stand by to help the church, as they clean their own souls, and prepare for the onslaught of my children returning to God. My children, many will die during this time, as it may be more than the faint of heart can handle. Many will die as it is their time to do so. Much prayer will be needed. Your help will be greatly needed to instruct those not knowing, prayers, sacraments, and the scriptures. People will be starving for all this information.

Now, I also tell you this, the reason for storing of foods and water and candles. Your lives will change dramatically for awhile, your stores will not have people in them to run them, everything that man has made will stop, as people will be trying to get help from their church, and not be worried at all over the stores, transportations or much of anything else besides getting the help they need to save their souls.

There will still be many who, wont react the way you do when the warning comes, they will still turn from God. They will make fun of you. You must NOT turn your backs, as many are scared, and will react in this matter, you must still try to save some souls.

This also will be a time when the Anti-Pope will try to take charge. This man relishes in showing you how he relishes in what is Godly and Holy, until he sets himself on the throne of Peter, Remember, the POPE has to relinquish power before the false christ makes his entrance. As long as The Church retains its power in Rome, the false christ can not take power. My children, Your Pope John XXIII, tried to warn you of the apostasy coming into your church, and of the Masons being in Rome. The false christ, has his evil doers NOW at work in your church, causing much apostasy, diversion, division and distrust.

5. CHAPTER TWO

THE MIRACLE
Children, within ONE year of your Warning, there will be a sign from God. This sign will be a MIRACLE like no human has ever seen. It will be at every place that Jesus or Myself has ever appeared.
This will be a permanent sign, for all the world to see, to reflect on, and to know that this Miracle has come from God.
Your communications will all be working, as life will go on after the warning, only quite differently. Things will occur at a slower pace than they are now. My children being aware of the warning and events to come, will be much more awakened to their surroundings, and seeing to it that life continues in a much better way.
Your communications, will enable all our children to know of this miracle, where it will be happening, your cameras will be able to send these pictures to all parts of the world.
At this time of the Miracle, many will be healed. We have told you that there will be time before this Miracle, to be able to tell the world of the Miracle to come. This will allow for your news stations to have time to set up and prepare for our children to travel to the sites where we have appeared, so they may take part in the Miracle. Masses and prayers will be said at these places, in preparation. This Miracle will leave a permanent sign, for all the world to see, at anytime. It will be the same sign, given by God, your Father. He does this out of His wondrous love for you, His Children.
Many people will be in a mystical haze, not knowing what to do, where to go, how to seek help, this will be for our children to help them to their church, to teach, to love. Open your hearts to your neighbors.
There will be many converts at this time, as they denied the warning, and went on their own ways.
There will be many false prophets at this time, from the evil one, who will try to convince you of their godly ways and desires, to lure you as their time draws to a close. They will perform miracles and cures, to tempt you to their realm.
After this miracle, there will be a time of peace and quiet, do not be taken unawares as the time of Chastisement and Tribulation are not far off. Do not ease in your prayers and devotions, as this must come to pass as revealed in scripture.
You must keep your house in order and pray for mitigation of these Chastisements.

6. CHAPTER THREE

Dear Children, This is a very serious and heart breaking time for all the children of the world. This Chastisement can be mitigated, but many will suffer and die, due to all the evils in your world and your sins.
Safe Havens will be many churchs, monasteries, cathedrals, homes, places where Jesus and I have come to Gods children and spoke. Places where God is revered, adored and honored. I have told you that you will follow the light to these places. There will be many other places.
Your Governments are planning a One World Rule. The evil ones will rule at this place and in your times. There will be many wars to break out, then your One world Government, will tell you that all is well now, and that all countries are at peace, and there will not be any more wars.
Your weather patterns will change, your earth will tremble and shake there will be many earthquakes, storms like you have never seen, volcanoes will erupt one after another causing much loss of lives, the innocent with the evil. There will be tidal waves, monsoons, hurricanes, tornadoes, such as you have never experienced. God is trying to wake you up, and stop the evil in your lives. Those who do not turn to God will be on the road to hell. So much destruction. This will lead right into your tribulation.
Many of our children will have to go into hiding, as the storms destroy your homes. Look to the light. You will be guided. During this time you will be taken care of, you will have manna and water, keep your selves in prayer and help those in need. Lead your neighbors to safety, Try and save souls as you journey, but you can not bring those who do not have the mark of God on their foreheads. They will not be able to stand the light.
Your one world government will be taking your rights away slowly. Know that they will close your churchs, seminaries and convents. They will come into your homes, and arrest you for your religious beliefs in the night, as a thief under cover of darkness. Your own government is now ready to hand over your freedoms to these people. Your leaders turn deaf ears to your pleas. They think they will still have a rule. This will not be so. They are being tricked, as you are.
Once this has happened your anti-christ will have your Pope murdered, and will take his place. The one world government is being ruled by this anti-christ, this man proclaiming to be Christ come to save you. Many will believe, as he is amongst you now, waiting for his time to come to power.
I tell you of this anti-pope, christ, He is in the chambers waiting to come to power. Your Pope , Petrus will take the seat of Peter only to be murdered by this anti-christ, and he will sit on the throne of Peter.
This time will be for many a time of jubilation. The anti-christ, will do all kinds of miracles to trick my children into thinking he is the risen Jesus. There will be peace, a false peace, among all countries. My children will think all is well, and be in their homes, and churchs, but your churchs will be under his rule. It will not be your Mother Church. This will be to lead many into a false sense of peace and trust.
Enoch and Elijah will come down from the heavens to battle the anti-christ at the temple. This my children will be the start of your Tribulation times.
My children, during these times keep yourselves at prayer. This will be a hard journey for many, but those who keep in prayer and their sacraments, fasting, sacrificing, and sharing My sons scripture with those who do not believe in Jesus second coming, and who are in union with the anti-christ, believing him to be Your Risen Christ, will be spared the might of Gods hand.
Any of Gods children who have been killed in this time, and are in a pious state, will be with God, and will not suffer. The innocent children will not suffer. Do not fear, my children, as you have a Merciful God. But the time of Gods Mercy for all will be coming to an end, and His Justice will commence.

7. CHAPTER FOUR

THE TRIBULATION

The Tribulation There will be the conversion of Jews, before this tribulation happens.
Fear not for yourselves my children, Pray much, as Gods Mercy will be with those who Love Him.
Woe to those who have taken the mark of the beast willingly. The world will begin to see the spoils of this anti-christ, his evils will be known to all.
You, my children will know of his works. He will begin to have you put into camps, to keep you as cattle, this is when you must escape, when you hear of the first of Our faithful being arrested and interned in these camps. Look to your skies, you will see the cross of light in the sky. Follow this cross. The cross will lead my children to safety. Do not worry for food or water, as God will provide for you. Many will be captured and murdered, these will be Martyrs, and will not suffer.
Your earth will shudder and your skies will burn fire to your earth. Your seas will roar and burn. The world will lose many people and land due to the destruction raining on man. Enoch and Elijah will come down from the heavens to do battle with the anti-christ in the temple. The anti-christ will be killed. You will know this has been done by your skies. There will be a red cross in the skies. There will be a calm. You will have forty days of quiet. Followers of the anti-christ will be in confusion, you will return to your homes. This will be a time for you to try and save more souls, who were deceived by the anti-christ and his followers. But my children, there are still many enemies.
The evil forces will be trying to take power over all at this time. Satan knows he has little time left to bring complete ruin to the church and Gods children.
Remember to keep in prayer. Keep yourselves close to God. Be in waiting my children as the time now will be near for My Immaculate Heart to triumph over Satan, and for Jesus return to your world for the Battle to begin.

8. CHAPTER FIVE

THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS

THE THREE DAYS OF DARKNESS My children, make a joyful noise unto the Lord your God, and make ready for the coming of Jesus to your world. My Sons second coming.
At this time you shall have made your homes ready for this time. You will need to have Blessed candles, warm blankets , wood for your heat in your homes. Have your windows covered with cloths and blinds, so you can not see out side. You need to have a crucifix at your entries. Wear your sacramentals and crucifixes. Keep your Blessed articles at hand, your bibles and rosaries and prayer books. You will put plenty of feed for your animals, and do not worry for them.
You will know the time of your Three Days of Darkness has come, as your Sun will turn black, and your moon to the color of blood. Your earth will become very cold. This is the time for you to go to your homes and close them up. Close the windows and cover them. Do not listen for those at your doors, calling to you as they are the demons of Satan, and if you open your door you will be condemned to die, as this has been foretold, to keep your doors closed.
During this time of darkness and cold keep your candles lit, and spend your time in prayer and reading of your scriptures. Be in one room together, ( if someone’s home was lost and they have the mark of God on their foreheads, then you are to take them into your homes. But only until the time to close up your homes has come) Have your fires to be kept warm this night, there will be Three days and Two nights, you will not sleep, but keep in prayer. You will not hear nor see what is occurring. It will be like you have been raised to the clouds. There will be many people outside when this begins, they will not be able to get to their homes. Many will not have homes, or may be in places they have no control over, When these days of darkness occur, two men will be in the field, one will be taken up and the other left. Please my children be of happy hearts, as Jesus will be purifying the earth of all that is evil. Jesus and His Angels, will battle with Satan and his demons, and Jesus will put the serpents head at my heel, and I will crush him. My Immaculate Heart will triumph. Jesus will then chain Satan in Hell.
Your earth, during its purification, will have fires from the skies. All that was made by evil, and is evil will perish in these flames. There will be no more wars, or munitions of any sort.
The third night of this time, the stars will be in the sky, as God prepares the New Earth. You can not open your windows or doors, out of obedience, until the dawning on the next day.
When you open your doors, all the earth will have been made new, a new springtime will have happened. All the Holy places will be saved, as will the homes, animals and peoples who believed in God, and Jesus second coming.
My Son, Jesus will reign on earth for 1000 years, I will tell you of your new earth in the next part.

9. CONCLUSION

THE NEW SPRINGTIME

Oh my dear children, what a wonderful world you will awaken to when you open your doors.
The earth will be renewed to the earth that God created . You will have fresh unmolested air, fresh clean water. Your earth will be filled with trees, plants, flowers as you have never seen.
God will have planted your gardens, full for all. you will just have to reap and resow your seeds. Many will have the knowledge of your technologies, but this must be used with care this time for your world to continue.
Many will be given extra gifts of improving on your technologies, each of my children, will have different gifts, for differing reasons. Use these as God wishes. My children, you will only need fences for your animals not to stray, especially when they are with babe.
Much of your life will be as my life was. Your power plants of destruction and pollution will be no more. You will be given ways of using the suns powers.
Your times will be spent in taking care of your lives of prayer first, then that of your animals, and your gardens and reaping of your lands. You will care about your neighbors, and visit . Travel will be on foot, or your 2 wheeled bicycles, or animals.
Neighbor will help neighbor. My children, it will not take long to build your power plants and the things you need, as all this technology will be given from God, your Father, who will have My Son, Jesus to teach you of these things. All will help, and everything will belong to all of mankind. There will not be wealthy and poor. All my children will be the same.
Your weather will be the same world wide, but at different times. All will have the four seasons. Cold will not get below freezing, and heat will not go above 80 degrees. Your rains will come as God sees the need. The snow will come also, but you will never have floods blizzards, nor deep snow again.
You must learn to live amongst yourselves again, independently of other countries, That will come later. You will learn to appreciate everything that has been given to you from your Father, to live and work your land. You may move to other parts of the land as you wish. You can claim land that does not have an owner on it, or ask to share the land, if it is much. Many will keep their lands, as some day they will plant and harvest for you. The same for raising of animals. Some will raise different animals and will trade for work, or other trade. You will have no way to slaughter your meat and eat it at one time, so you will begin to have places that will do this for you. You will know what must be done. There is much work for everyone.
My children, you all will have proved your love of God and mankind, that is why you will be living this new life and walking this earth with My Son, Jesus, who loves you so much.
There will not be any famines, nor sickness. All bodies will be cured of any infirmities during your three days of darkness.
I tell you of these wondrous times now, my children so you can prepare your homes for what will come. You will retain all that you have, use it wisely.
Start learning now how to put up your foods from your gardens, without power.
How to put up your meats without power, to make candles, and to use oils for your light. Some of this you can prepare now, to save for the future. There is much you can do to prepare.
You will have areas set up for the things you can not use, wastes, and Jesus will show you where to put them. God will take care of these things.
My children I love you, as does Jesus and your Father, all the Angels and Saints. Be in Prayer, from now on, keep your sacraments, obey the commandments, and know some of what is to come for your world. Your time is soon. Pray for those who will not accept Jesus, that they repent and convert.

Resurrection of Jesus

Note: the passage below in from the German mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824), The Life and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

https://spiritdailyblog.com/news/emmerich-on-resurrection


I BEHELD the soul of our Lord between two angels, who were in the attire of warriors: it was bright, luminous, and resplendent as the sun at mid-day; it penetrated the rock, touched the sacred body, passed into it, and the two were instantaneously united, and became as one. I then saw the limbs move, and the body of our Lord, being reunited to his soul and to his divinity, rise and shake off the winding-sheet: the whole of the cave was illuminated and lightsome.
At the same moment I saw a frightful monster burst from the earth underneath the sepulchre. It had the tail of a serpent, and it raised its dragon head proudly as if desirous of attacking Jesus; and had likewise, if I remember correctly, a human head. But our Lord held in his hand a white staff, to which was appended a large banner; and he placed his foot on the head of the dragon, and struck its tail three times with his staff, after which the monster disappeared. I had had this same vision many times before the Resurrection, and I saw just such a monster, appearing to endeavour to hide itself, at the time of the conception of our Lord: it greatly resembled the serpent which tempted our first parents in Paradise, only it was more horrible. I thought that this vision had reference to the prophetic words, that by the seed of the woman the head of the serpent should be crushed,’ and that the whole was intended to demonstrate the victory of our Lord over death, for at the same moment that I saw him crush the head of the monster, the tomb likewise vanished from my sight.
I then saw the glorified body of our Lord rise up, and it passed through the hard rock as easily as if the latter had been formed of some ductile substance. The earth shook, and an angel in the garb of a warrior descended from Heaven with the speed of lightning, entered the tomb, lifted the stone, placed it on the right side, and seated himself upon it. At this tremendous sight the soldiers fell to the ground, and remained there apparently lifeless. When Cassius saw the bright light which illuminated, the tomb, he approached the place where the sacred body had been placed, looked at and touched the linen clothes in which it had been wrapped, and left the sepulchre, intending to go and inform Pilate of all that had happened. However, he tarried a short time to watch the progress of events; for although he had felt the earthquake, seen the angel move the stone, and looked at the empty tomb, yet he had not seen Jesus.
At the very moment in which the angel entered the sepulchre and the earth quaked, I saw our Lord appear to his holy Mother on Calvary. His body was beautiful and lightsome, and its beauty was that of a celestial being. He was clothed in a large mantle, which at one moment looked dazzlingly white, as it floated through the air, waving to and fro with every breath of wind, and the next reflected a thousand brilliant colours as the sunbeams passed over it. His large open wounds shone brightly, and could be seen from a great distance: the wounds in his hands were so large that a finger might be put into them without difficulty; and rays of light proceeded from them, diverging in the direction of his fingers. The souls of the patriarchs bowed down before the Mother of our Saviour, and Jesus spoke to her concerning his Resurrection, telling her many things which I have forgotten. He showed her his wounds; and Mary prostrated to kiss his sacred feet; but he took her hand, raised her, and disappeared.
When I was at some distance from the sepulchre I saw fresh lights burning there, and I likewise beheld a large luminous spot in the sky immediately over Jerusalem.
THE holy women were very near the door of Nicodemus’s house at the moment of our Lord’s Resurrection; but they did not see anything of the prodigies which were taking place at the sepulchre. They were not aware that guards had been placed around the tomb, for they had not visited it on the previous day, on account of its being the Sabbath. They questioned one another anxiously concerning what would have to be done about the large stone at the door, as to who would be the best person to ask about removing it, for they had been so engrossed by grief that they had not thought about it before. Their intention was to pour precious ointments upon the body of Jesus, and then to strew over it flowers of the most rare and aromatic kinds, thus rendering all the honour possible to their Divine Master in his sepulchre. Salome, who had brought more things than any one else, was a rich lady, who lived in Jerusalem, a relation of St. Joseph, but not the mother of John. The holy women came to the determination of putting down their spices on the stone which closed the door of the monument, and waiting until some one came to roll it back.
The guards were still lying on the ground, and the strong convulsions which even then shook them clearly demonstrated how great had been their terror, and the large stone was cast on one side, so that the door could be opened without difficulty. I could see the linen cloth in which the body of Jesus had been wrapped scattered about in the tomb, and the large winding-sheet lying in the same place as when they left it, but doubled together in such a manner that you saw at once that it no longer contained anything but the spices which had been placed round the body, and the bandages were on the outside of the tomb. The linen cloth in which Mary had enveloped the sacred head of her Son was still there.
I saw the holy women coming into the garden; but when they perceived the light given by the lamps of the sentinels, and the prostrate forms of the soldiers round the tomb, they for the most part became much alarmed, and retreated towards Golgotha. Mary Magdalen was, however., more courageous, and, followed by Salome, entered the garden, while the other women remained timidly on the outside.
Magdalen started, and appeared for a moment terrified when she drew near the sentinels. She retreated a few steps and rejoined Salome, but both quickly recovered their presence of mind, and walked on together through the midst of the prostrate guards, and entered into the cave which contained the sepulchre. They immediately perceived that the stone was removed, but the doors were closed, which had been done in all probability by Cassius. Magdalen opened them quickly, looked anxiously into the sepulchre, and was much surprised at seeing that the cloths in which they had enveloped our Lord were lying on one side, and that the place where they had deposited the sacred remains was empty. A celestial light filled the cave, and an angel was seated on the right side. Magdalen became almost beside herself from disappointment and alarm. I do not know whether she heard the words which the angel addressed to her, but she left the garden as quickly as possible, and ran to the town to inform the Apostles who were assembled there of what had taken place. I do not know whether the angel spoke to Mary Salome, as she did not enter the sepulchre; but I saw her leaving the garden directly after Magdalen, in order to relate all that had happened to the rest of the holy women, who were both frightened and delighted at the news, but could not make up their minds as to whether they would go to the garden or not.
In the mean time Cassius had remained near the sepulchre in hopes of seeing Jesus, as he thought he would be certain to appear to the holy women; but seeing nothing, he directed his steps towards Pilate’s palace to relate to him all that had happened, stopping, however, first at the place where the rest of the holy women were assembled, to tell them what he had seen, and to exhort them to go immediately to the garden. They followed his advice, and went there at once. No sooner had they reached the door of the sepulchre than they beheld two angels clothed in sacerdotal vestments of the most dazzling white. The women were very much alarmed, covered their faces with their hands, and prostrated almost to the ground; but one of the angels addressed them, bade them not fear, and told them that they must not seek for their crucified Lord there, for that he was alive, had risen, and was no longer an inhabitant of the tomb. He pointed out to them at the same moment the empty sepulchre, and ordered them to go and relate to the disciples all that they had seen and heard. He likewise told them that Jesus would go before them into Galilee, and recalled to their minds the words which our Saviour had addressed to them on a former occasion: The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of sinners, he will be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ The angels then disappeared, and left the holy women filled with joy, although of course greatly agitated; they wept, looked at the empty tomb and linen clothes, and immediately started to return to the town. But they were so much overcome by the many astounding events which had taken place, that they walked very slowly, and stopped and looked back often, in hopes of seeing our Lord, or at least Magdalen.
In the mean time. Magdalen reached the Cenaculum. She was so excited as to appear like a person beside herself, and knocked hastily at the door. Some of the disciples, were still sleeping, and those who were risen were conversing together. Peter and John opened the door, but she only exclaimed, without entering the house, They have taken away the body of my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him,’ and immediately returned to the garden. Peter and John went back into the house, and after saying a few words to the other disciples followed her as speedily as possible, but John far outstripped Peter. I then saw Magdalen reenter the garden, and direct her steps towards the sepulchre; she appeared greatly agitated, partly from grief, and partly from having walked so fast. Her garments were quite moist with dew, and her veil hanging on one side, while the luxuriant hair in which she had formerly taken so much pride fell in disheveled masses over her shoulders, forming a species of mantle. Being alone, she was afraid of entering the cave, but stopped for a moment on the outside, and knelt down in order to see better into the tomb. She was endeavouring to push back her long hair, which fell over her face and obscured her vision, when she perceived the two angels who were seated in the tomb, and I heard one of them address her thus: Woman, why weepest thou?’ She replied, in a voice choked with tears (for she was perfectly overwhelmed with grief at finding that the body of Jesus was really gone), ‘Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.’ She said no more, but seeing the empty winding-sheet, went out of the sepulchre and began to look about in other parts. She felt a secret presentiment that not only should she find Jesus, but that he was even then near to her; and the presence of the angels seemed not to disturb her in the least; she did not appear even to be aware that they were angels, every faculty was engrossed with the one thought, ‘Jesus is not there! where is Jesus?’ I watched her wandering about like an insane person, with her hair floating loosely in the wind: her hair appeared to annoy her much, for she again endeavoured to push it from off her face, and having divided it into two parts, threw it over her shoulders.
She then raised her head, looked around, and perceived a tall figure, clothed in white, standing at about ten paces from the sepulchre on the east side of the garden, where there was a slight rise in the direction of the town; the figure was partly hidden from her sight by a palm-tree, but she was somewhat startled when it addressed her in these words: ‘Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?’ She thought it was the gardener; and, in fact, he had a spade in his hand, and a large hat (apparently made of the bark of trees) on his head. His dress was similar to that worn by the gardener described in the parable which Jesus had related to the holy women at Bethania a short time before his Passion. His body was not luminous, his whole appearance was rather that of a man dressed in white and seen by twilight. At the words, Whom seekest thou? she looked at him, and answered quickly, ‘Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him; and I will take him away.’ And she looked anxiously around. Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She then instantly recognized his beloved voice, and turning quickly, replied, Raboni (Master)!’ She threw herself on her knees before him, and stretched out her hands to touch his feet; but he motioned her to be still, and said, ‘Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them: ‘I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.’ He then disappeared.
The reason of the words of Jesus, ‘Do not touch me,’ was afterwards explained to me, but I have only an indistinct remembrance of that explanation. I think He made use of those words because of the impetuosity of Magdalen’s feelings, which made her in a certain degree forget the stupendous mystery which had been accomplished, and feel as if what she then beheld was still mortal instead of a glorified body. As for the words of Jesus, ‘I am not yet ascended to my Father,’ I was told that their meaning was that he had not presented himself to his Father since his Resurrection, to return him thanks for his victory over death, and for the work of the redemption which he had accomplished. He wished her to infer from these words, that the first-fruits of joy belong to God, and that she ought to reflect and return thanks to him for the accomplishment of the glorious mystery of the redemption, and for the victory which he had gained over death; and if she had kissed his feet as she used before the Passion, she would have thought of nothing but her Divine Master, and in her raptures of love have totally forgotten the wonderful events which were causing such astonishment and joy in Heaven. I saw Magdalen arise quickly, as soon as our Lord disappeared, and run to look again in the sepulchre, as if she believed herself under the influence of a dream. She saw the two angels still seated there, and they spoke to her concerning the resurrection of our Lord in the same words as they had addressed the two other women. She likewise saw the empty winding-sheet, and then, feeling certain that she was not in a state of delusion, but that the apparition of our Lord was real, she walked quickly back towards Golgotha to seek her companions, who were wandering about to and fro, anxiously looking out for her return, and indulging a kind of vague hope that they should see or hear something of Jesus.
The whole of this scene occupied a little more than two or three minutes. It was about half-past three when our Lord appeared to Magdalen, and John and Peter entered the garden just as she was leaving it. John, who was a little in advance of Peter, stopped at the entrance of the cave and looked in. He saw the linen clothes lying on one side, and waited until Peter came up, when they entered the sepulchre together, and saw the winding-sheet empty as has been before described. John instantly believed in the Resurrection, and they both understood clearly the words addressed to them by Jesus before his Passion, as well as the different passages in Scripture relating to that event, which had until then been incomprehensible to them. Peter put the linen clothes under his cloak, and they returned hastily into the town through the small entrance belonging to Nicodemus.
The appearance of the holy sepulchre was the same when the two apostles entered as when Magdalen first saw it. The two adoring angels were seated, one at the head, and the other at the extremity of the tomb, in precisely the same attitude as when his adorable body was lying there. I do not think Peter was conscious of their presence. I afterwards heard John tell the disciples of Emmaus, that when he looked into the sepulchre he saw an angel. Perhaps he was startled by this sight, and therefore drew back and let Peter enter the sepulchre first; but it is likewise very possible that the reason of his not mentioning the circumstance in his gospel was because humility made him anxious to conceal the fact of his having been more highly favoured than Peter.
The guards at this moment began to revive, and rising, gathered up their lances, and took down the lamps, which were on the door, from whence they cast a glimmering weak light on surrounding objects. I then saw them walk hastily out of the garden in evident fear and trepidation, in the direction of the town.
In the mean time Magdalen had rejoined the holy women, and given them the account of her seeing the Lord in the garden, and of the words of the angels afterwards, whereupon they immediately related what had been seen by themselves, and Magdalen wended her way quickly to Jerusalem, while the women returned to that side of the garden where they expected to find the two apostles. Just before they reached it, Jesus appeared to them. He was clothed in a long white robe, which concealed even his hands, and said to them, All hail.’ They started with astonishment, and cast themselves at his feet; he spoke a few words, held forth his hand as if to point out something to them, and disappeared. The holy women went instantly to the Cenaculum, and told the disciples who were assembled there that they had seen the Lord; the disciples were incredulous, and would not give credence either to their account or to that of Magdalen. They treated both the one and the other as the effects of their excited imaginations; but when Peter and John entered the room and related what they likewise had seen, they knew not what to answer, and were filled with astonishment.
Peter and John soon left the Cenaculum, as the wonderful events which had taken place rendered them extremely silent and thoughtful, and before long they met James the Less and Thaddeus, who had wished to accompany them to the sepulchre. Both James and Thaddeus were greatly overcome, for the Lord had appeared to them a short time before they met Peter and John. I also saw Jesus pass quite close to Peter and John. I think the former recognised him, for he started suddenly, but I do not think the latter saw him.

Lessons From Fr. Gabriele Amorth’s First Exorcism

This article is adapted from Fr. Stanzione’s introduction to a chapter in The Devil is Afraid of Me: The Life and Work of the World’s Most Popular Exorcist. It is available as an ebook or paperback from Sophia Institute Press.

Fr. Marcello Stanzione
 

Father Gabriele Amorth’s very first exorcism remained especially impressed in his mind. He spoke of it in various interviews and in his book The Last Exorcist: My Battle against Satan, in which he narrates in depth what happened with so many other important exorcisms.

His first solo exorcism was very particular, because he immediately clashed with Satan himself. After having as­sisted Father Candido Amantini for many years, he exorcised a simple man. The man was very young and slim and came accompanied by a priest and a third person, a translator.
Initially, Father Amorth did not understand the reason for the translator, so the priest explained to him that when the demoniac was under possession, he spoke in English, and therefore it would be useful to have the translator present in order to understand what he was saying.
Once the exorcism began, the young peasant did not com­municate with words or gestures; it was as if nothing affected him, not even when Father Amorth invoked the help of the Lord. But after the invocation, when the exorcist priest asked specifically for the help of Jesus, the young man fixed his gaze on him and began to yell in English.

His curses and threats were aimed solely at the exorcist; then he began spitting at him and preparing to attack him physically; only when Father Amorth arrived at the prayer Praecipio tibi (I command you), did the demon seem to placate himself a bit. But then, screaming and howling, the de­mon burst forth and looked straight at him, drooling saliva from the young man’s mouth. The exorcist, at that point, continued with the rite of liberation, asking and ordering the demon to tell him his name and reveal who he was. Because this was his first exorcism,
Father Amorth did not expect to receive such a ter­rifying response: “I am Lucifer.”

 

 

Thus, with great stupor, Father Amorth discovered that who he had in front of him in those moments was Lucifer in person, but at that point, he certainly could not give up or end the exorcism, so he engaged himself even more. He was convinced that he had to keep going as long as he had the strength.
So, while he continued with the prayers of liberation, the demon resumed his shrieks, making the possessed turn his head back and his eyes roll; and he remained like this with his back arched for a quarter of an hour. Who could imagine what Father Amorth felt in those moments? Changes also occurred in the environment. All of a sudden, the room became extremely cold and ice crystals formed on the windows and the walls. The exor­cist, refusing to give up, ordered Lucifer to abandon the peasant. But almost in response, the young man’s body stiffened so much that he became hard and at a certain point began to levitate; and for several minutes, he remained hovering three feet in the air. Meanwhile, the exorcist continued with the prayers of liberation. Then, at a certain point, the possessed fell down onto a chair, and a little before disappearing, Lucifer announced the day and the exact hour that he would leave the body of the peasant.
Father Amorth continued to exorcise the young man each week until the fatal day arrived. Then he let another week pass, and he rescheduled him. Upon his arrival, the young man seemed very tranquil, and in the course of the exorcism, he did not make any objections to the liberations, and indeed, he prayed tranquilly. Father Amorth asked him to explain how Lucifer left him, and he replied that on the day and at the hour that the devil had indicated he would leave, he began to howl like never before. Then, at the end of this, he felt new and light.

Father Amorth Speaks of the Good Angels

Since exorcism must also be understood in the context of the good angels, Father Amorth wrote one of his columns in the weekly Credo on the good angels:

The angelic creatures who chose to remain faithful to their nature and to the goal for which they were cre­ated — that is, to praise God eternally — did a very simple thing: they remained obedient. They accepted being submissive to God the Creator, and they made their choice in the just view, not the diabolical view of feeling humiliated by this act of submission. To the contrary, in choosing to remain faithful to God, the angels were true to their nature and their end. It was an act of fidelity to the truth for which they were created by God, which is to love Him. This attitude does not humiliate them, because it does not infer a lack of something; rather, it reflects a fullness. The angels have continued to be faithful to their nature, which refers them directly to God the Creator, the one who has inscribed in creation the laws that He considers best for the good of the creature. Thus, the way we read it in the book of Revelation (12:7 and further on) is the way it occurred. There was a giant war between the angels who remained faithful to God and those who rebelled against Him; in other words, the [good] angels against the demons. In those passages, the Bible tells us that the Archangel Michael led the angels into battle, and the rebel angels were guided by the dragon (the devil) and at the end were defeated. As a result, and I cite from memory, “for them there was no longer a place in heaven.”

Something happened here that the Bible does not declare, but that I have no reason to doubt: the demons created hell — that is, they put themselves in a situation, in a state, that placed them in opposition to God, and in doing so, harmed themselves. Their new condition, known in the Bible as “hell,” means that the dev­ils are forever excluded from paradise — that is, the vision of God, and the goals of enjoyment and eternal happiness for which they were created.
Therefore, the demons are definitively condemned; for them, there is no longer any possibility of salvation. Why? Because their intelligence, which is much superior to ours, since they are pure spirits, makes their choice definitive, because it was done with full awareness and is therefore not retractable. But the demons do not wish to take back such a choice.
The same is true, but to the contrary, for the angels who have chosen God and enjoy Him in eternity; and it is also true for the saints, those who are already admitted to the eternal vision of God. And this is true also for us, who are called to sanctity here on earth and, if necessary, in purgatory.

How the Demon Enters Souls

The journalist Marco Tosatti asked Father Amorth which are the paths preferred by the devil when entering the soul of men. Amorth responded:

There are four methods the demon utilizes to enter souls; one regards saints, and two are extremely rare. When the demon tempts a person who seems holy, he attempts to make him renounce his godly ways. This case is extremely rare. The other extremely rare case is that of leading a person into a complex of extremely serious sins in a way that is nearly irreversible. In my view, this was the method [that Satan used] with Judas Iscariot. . . . The most frequent case — and I put it at 90 percent — is that of the evil spell. It happens when someone sustains an evil caused by the demon that has been provoked by some person who has turned to Satan or someone who has acted with satanic perfidy. The remaining, 10 to 15 percent — I do not have an exact number — regard persons who have participated in occult practices, such as séances or satanic sects, or have contacted wizards and fortune-tellers. These forms of Satanism are widely diffused, and I think that today they are spread by stars and celebrities who have a huge following… I have nothing against rock music; it is very respectable music; I am against satanic rock.
