Exorcist Diary #354: Silencing the Great Accuser*

["Sermon and Deeds of the Antichrist" detail, Luca Signorelli, 1501]

As human beings after the Fall of Adam and Eve, we all experience residual deficits of fallen humanity. For example, we all get sick; we suffer disordered passions; our intellects are darkened; and our mental state is no longer fully healthy and holy. This was not the case before the Fall.

One negative outcome of the Fall is a disordered sense of self: we are vulnerable to poor self-esteem, or its seeming opposite in narcissism (which is actually a thin shell of bravado over this same damaged self-image). Satan knows our vulnerability. He will exploit it whenever he can. His minions subtly pummel us with self-denigrating thoughts, hoping to lead us into one of his favorite states: despair. He is the "Great Accuser" (Rev 12:10).

How can we know that the negative self-talk in our heads is being empowered by the Great Accuser (i.e. demonic obsessions)? Some telltale signs are: the negative thoughts come on rather suddenly; they are unusually intense; they are exaggerations of reality; they tempt the soul to despair. Some or all may dissipate in response to prayer.

Here are three steps that will help if the thoughts in your head are being exaggerated by Satan, i.e. they are demonic obsessions:

1. Recognize Satan's presence and "disappropriate" these strong negative thoughts. It is important to realize these tormenting thoughts are not yours; they come from Satan.

2. Explicitly reject them, preferably out loud, saying the three R's: "In Jesus' name, I reject them; I rebuke them; I renounce them; and I cast them out." You have authority over your own body and mind, so command Satan to leave!

3. Welcome the God who loves you and forgives you. Say: "Jesus I am a sinner but you love me, you forgive me, you give me your peace."

The most dangerous part of demonic obsessions is that the Evil One is hidden so the person does not recognize their evil source. The person may come to believe that he/she is horribly flawed and will forever be tormented. Sadly I believe that more than a few souls fall into this trap and are tempted to end their lives. When the soul recognizes and disappropriates Satan's actions, and then rejects and casts him out, Satan's torments are often attenuated, if not completely silenced.

The soul should often ground itself in basic Christian truths: Satan is dust. Jesus is Lord. Jesus loves me and forgives me. God allows Satan to tempt and harass me in this life, just as Jesus himself suffered and died. But God will give me the strength to persevere. These temptations are allowed for my sanctification-- I share in the sufferings of Christ.

I am sorry any of you suffer from mental torments. Sadly, it is a consequence of original sin then exploited and amplified by Satan. But God brings grace out of suffering, just as He brought the new life of resurrection out of Jesus' cross. Keep up the good fight! The world needs you; God's army needs you. You are of infinite value in God's eyes, and that's all that matters.

Feedback Summary from July 12, 2025 online deliverance

I’ve been coming to your session for over 1 year. They help and slowly I am healing from a badly lived life. I don't know what I would do without these sessions. Thank you for helping me. No one would help and everyone thought I was crazy. My life is becoming more holy and I thank you and Jesus so much.

Thank you very much! It was beautiful and rewarding to pray together!

During the Deliverance Prayer, there was such a beautiful peace all about me…

When we began the rosary, we felt a sense of peace. When the deliverance prayers began, we felt years of trauma lifted. She has years of trauma in her life. I have family wounds, wounds from bullying in middle school, unhealthy relationships of various types. Through repeated sessions I've found peace and ability to forgive those who harmed me in the past.

I treasure these sessions with you.

I feel so much peace during these sessions. Mom cursed me with so much hatred and my brother joined the Masons. I have faith these sessions will set me free.

Really appreciated the Litany of the Children of God. It hit home.

I felt an elevation from my oppressed mood.   

Very touching especially the part of forgiveness and family, I felt Jesus touched me. Thank you.

The Holy Spirit brought to mind a childhood memory, which was a root of much anxiety and shame. I believe the Lord has healed me, and set me free.

With every Deliverance Session I feel more relief & confident about this difficult time.

My faith is increasing every single day even my prayer time.

Beautiful and peaceful.

Thank you so much. Healing on the natural level seems almost impossible. Hunted and hated as a child, it just seems colossal…

I was in anxiety when I joined Fr Rossetti on Monday for the prayer session. By the time we were finished the anxiety and tenseness had drained away and I felt calm, loving and grateful. It was a wonderful experience.

Very calming and peaceful

I loved the whole session!!! With heart felt gratitude and appreciation

I had this searing pain the back of my neck, and after this deliverance prayers, the pain was relieved. Praise be to God…

I feel much more peaceful. My circumstances haven't changed but my mindset about them has a different tone.

At the end of the session I felt very peaceful. During the prayers I felt quite dizzy, then had a lot of what felt like forceful/painful yawning, and the Latin prayers were really hurting my ears! It was so strange! I feel protected and ready to take on any spiritual battle I may face.

Peaceful and hopeful…

Spirits of lethargy were working overtime! I fell asleep during the Latin prayers. Eyelids were so heavy. I feel more at peace and during the Latin prayers I started coughing. Thank you for the healing I received from this prayer session the seeds have been planted for conversion of my whole family, I await your harvest Dear Jesus

I need help with the evil forces who are threatening to consume my husband and son. Thank you for this, for making this available to everyone, for giving me the opportunity to pray for my family.

I felt stuck. I had to battle to log onto the session against a lot of “I don’t want to do that” feelings. Praise Jesus I did. Beautiful. Cried a lot. Thank you so much.

I always feel a deep sense of joy and peace at the end of these sessions. I also usually always cry during the prayers….I was trapped in an abusive marriage for years, I was angry and resentful. I was finally able to free myself and my kids, I am happy and joyful again. I was able to forgive and I look forward to the future. Thank you thank you thank you.

I actually felt like smiling and was happy.

I felt the anxiety, and darkness surrounding me dissipate!!!!! I felt confident warmth and love surround me!!!! I felt such wonderful peace!!!! My headache and exhaustion lifted!!! At first I was suddenly falling asleep inexplicably but completely re-energized during the session as i persevered in prayer!!

I felt relaxed and a deep feeling of peace. Thank you Msgr!!

…my oldest daughter is trans and listens to occult and satanic music cohabitating, my second oldest is on a similar path, my oldest son is schizo/bipolar trying to find his way back to the faith after a hedonistic life style…. Only God can help. Thank you to all for making this possible.

Amazing

I have the best sleep after these sessions! It’s so restful.

I began participating in these Rosaries and Webinars in February of 2025 and I know they are helping. Please, pray for me as I have been dealing all my life with trauma, anger, fear, cursing, anxiety, depression, crying, isolating and believe that generational evil spirits have been afflicting me my whole life. God is with me and I want to become Catholic.

Wonderful experience.

It felt so personal and I felt love from God over me. Even after I feel a warmth from the inside. Like a hug.

I can't wait to attend the next prayer session.

It was so healing and peaceful.

It was a soothing and cleansing experience…

During prayer, I felt like something was leaving the left side of my neck. I’ve participated in several of these delivery prayer sessions, and I find myself having more peace…

Continuing to trust in Jesus and pray for family division and abuse to be over.

Thank you. I was so full of self pity, hurt and no peace in my heart and mind. After the session I felt the words ‘die to self.’ Such peace and love returned to my heart. Praise Jesus in His was Divine Will.

It was the most peaceful and free I have felt in a very long time. Certain prayers that were said resulted in a headache and a tightening in my chest for a few minutes but then it left my body. I definitely felt much lighter after the session, and I can't wait for the next one!

I believe I had few demons on my neck and shoulders because I woke up with intense pain in the shoulders and back pain but after deliverance prayers I was free of that pain and I felt so good that I managed to work in the garden all day Praise the Lord.

Wow! Such a wonderful sense of peace and joy washed over me.

This is the second time I have participated in the deliverance sessions…I suffer from a lot of fear, and anxiety. At this moment, I feel so much better. That black knot in the center of my stomach is gone.

Thank you so much. I feel so much closer to Jesus. I never believed I was worth anything. I know that Jesus says he loves us, and mentally I could accept it. I never felt it in my heart. Thank you and bless you.

It surprised me when reciting the forgiveness prayer for myself that I began to cry uncontrollably, but just briefly. Several times during the rest of the session, I felt joy, a lifting, and couldn’t help but smile.

I felt a deep connection with God during the session…

It fills my soul with peace and my heart with love and encouragement.

I have always struggled with comparing myself to others…The new Litany prayer by Gina is fabulous. Believing we are exactly who God made us to be is the cure. Thank you for your ministry.

I felt peace during it. I never feel peace. My life is crazy despite doing all the right things and living my Faith properly.

Such a wonderful and powerful healing session.

Very spiritual, peaceful and beautiful prayers of deliverance which brought me serenity.

I was praying for 2 of my…sons having bouts of depression and anxiety and one of my sons recovering from mental illness…I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit helping me with my sons.

Thank you for this much needed spiritual boost and the sword of the Holy Spirit that always prevails.

Just felt much gratitude all the way through. And crying through the Children of God litany. Such a gift!

Became Very tired. Yawned a lot. Had a back ache. Really had to push thru the session. There was definitely opposition to participating in this session. Assumed I was being delivered & set free & getting some healing. Had more energy when session was over.

This was my first live session and it was so powerful. I started the session with not a lot of focus but Msgr. Rossetti does a wonderful job of guiding and praying. I cried after the forgiveness session. I felt a great sense of peace at the end. Thank you and God bless all!

I kept yawning during the deliverance prayers and knew I was getting rid of things that shouldn't be in me. This was awesome.

I loved the litany of the child of God very much and it really gave me a deep sense of joy and grounding…

I found out Freemasonry was an occult. My birth father was a member. Both sessions brought me healing. The first session my vision got blurry, tongue got tied, and my chest started hurting when saying the prayers early on.... then it just came cleared and pain in chest turned to warmth in the back. Thank you Father

I had felt several physical things like warmth/heat on my heart, hands, like someone is holding my left hand during the Latin prayer... this was incredible and it stopped as soon the prayer ended. It was vivid unexplainable and beautiful. I also noticed my little son wanting to be with me, near me, like glue after attending a deliverance, and saying to me 'Mom I love you so much I just want to be around you'.

The grace of God spreading love over our families. Thank you

I received blessings of peace and confidence.

I felt an energy passing through my body and leaving me, I am feeling "lighter" now. I am praying and I want to attend more sessions.

I feel peace and joy like I’ve not experienced before after this session. The Litany of The Children of God is especially powerful. It can feel like God hates me due to suffering long term vicious abuse from family members and my late husband. Thank you, Msgr. and staff, for this ministry!

Wonderful healing took place tonight. Released hurts and resentment replaced by peace and heaviness gone. Anxiety was less and easier to breathe.

Thank you it was wonderful.

After 10 monthly sessions I have started to feel like a normal person again, even better than how I was before. Frustration, anger, rage, self hatred and suicidal thoughts stopped, intrusive obsessive thoughts stopped. I had them since childhood. Is easier to think about those who hurt me without pain or anger.

My life still feels stagnant but I see improvement. These sessions make me feel in community, protected, loved and always peaceful. Praise the Lord. Thank you.

Just a feeling of profound peace

I have been doing these delivery sessions since 2023 when I was obsessed and oppressed and had demon brain. I have such healing now and peace and I can’t put into words. I know I had generational curses and MANY other evil spirits tormenting and afflicting me.

There has been an unveiling of lies and enlightenment truth that has been life changing. We are beyond grateful! Thank you and your mighty team. All glory to our God.

I had a powerful experience at tonight's deliverance session. I felt some spiritual "weight" lift during some parts including the forgiveness prayers and Latin prayers. I also got some insights from God of continued barriers I need to pray get removed in my life. Most of all, I felt His peace, His presence, and His strength.

It was fantastic.

I experience a lot of witchcraft attacks because my sister is a witch…So after the session I was so elated with joy, pure freedom in Christ.

I started feeling pain behind and below my eyes and in the middle of my head when we began praying to cut all bondages, links, and soul times which stop after the session has ended. Thank you

I have been experiencing so much peace and a sense of calm during these sessions. My anxiety has been greatly diminished. I look forward to September.

Praise be Jesus Christ. After this deliverance session (July), I finally had the strength to destroy the occult and New Age items that I have. I wanted to get rid of them before but didn't have the time and the will to do it….I am at peace. I am ready now to follow Jesus wherever He leads me. Thank you very much to everyone at St. Michael Center.

Powerful sense of God's presence through Father. Q and A hit answered questions I had but didn't think to ask!

Such a sense of inner peace and calmness. Makes me realize how much I fill my life with ‘junk food’, chasing after things of no real consequence, with all the anxiety that brings. Need to move towards a daily reset with the Lord, and let His peace soak in more & more.

I thought it was wonderful. The prayers seemed to cover everything that I was worried about. I wasn’t expecting that….This is something I really needed. I am very grateful.

Things get stirred up in our home during these sessions. Usually, there is some division or conflict that manifests itself in our home, but we take it as a sign of demonic opposition because healing and progress in the spiritual life is taking place…I see a gradual improvement in terms of virtue in our home.

During the Prayer to Break Curses, I felt a headache in the front of my head but by the end of prayer, there was like a "burst" & it dissipated. I also found myself moved to tears towards the end of the Prayer against Freemasonry. As always, I found further healing of emotional wounds & a deeper sense of just how loved I am by God!

Thank you for your ministry!

I felt a lot of oppression leave me tonight. I also felt all of a sudden an intense pain in my stomach, but the pain was decreasing after burping during the session. But there was this amazing peace and warmth, like comfort after the endured warfare. Thank you so much for helping us. God bless your ministry!

I cherish these sessions because they bring me peace and hope.

The session brought much needed peace along with confirmation that healing takes time maybe even a lifetime when trauma took place from basically birth and witnessing what I did. Praise be to God for the Saint Michael Center…

As the prayer progressed, I was at various times breaking down in tears, but felt lighter and lighter, as the prayer progressed. I feel much more relieved now, after the prayer, and much less depressed…I was in a very dark place, and can see the light now.

I felt a sense of peace and happiness. This means a lot to me as I have struggled a long while with depression and a spirit of sadness.
