Exorcist Diary #366: Satanist Now Exorcist Saint

Today, Sunday Oct 19th, the Pope canonized former Satanist priest Bartolo Longo at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. At Bartolo's Satanic "ordination," the "walls of the room shook and disembodied screams terrified those in attendance." As a satanic priest, he was involved with seances, drugs and orgies. He eventually became paranoid and miserable, contemplating suicide. His conversion was credited to the fervent prayers of family and friends, hearing the voice of his deceased father saying, "Return to God," and the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary. He became a lifelong apostle of the rosary.
After his conversion and subsequent spiritual purification, he attended one last seance and held up a rosary exclaiming: “I renounce spiritualism because it is nothing but a maze of error and falsehood.” As a former Satanist, he is one of our new "go to" saints for help in casting out demons. We at SMC are blessed to have recently obtained a first-class relic of St. Bartolo and use it in our exorcism sessions. I do not think it is a happenstance that, in the midst of a public craze in embracing of witchcraft and all forms of divination, God has raised up St. Bartolo to show us the truth. In fact, this former satanic priest's slow descent into darkness, misery and despair is our experience with those who practice the occult and divination. When they finally come to us for help, the darkness in their minds is so thick it is palpable.
Converted souls tell me that they practiced witchcraft and divination for many reasons. Some saw it as pure fun and entertainment. Others sought control over their future and cast spells for prosperity, love, and health. One man spoke to me of the power he felt in casting spells and leading a coven of witches. Some even erroneously believe that they can practice divination and still be "good Catholics" (see Dt 18:9-14). But these occult practitioners found out the truth the hard way. Demons of divination and witchcraft are tough to expunge, often taking years of intense prayer and deliverance praying.
Halloween is fast upon us. As an exorcist, I cringe at what I increasingly see each year. People dress up as witches, demons, ghosts, and images of death, believing it is all in good fun, even glorifying them. But there something truly dark and evil underneath these unholy images.
All Hallows Eve (secularized as Halloween) is the evening before the great feast of All Saints. On this feast, we celebrate all the saints who are now in heaven, especially our loved ones. We rejoice with them and we pray for their help as we continue on our own journey to God's kingdom. St. Bartolo's father reached out to him beyond death and was instrumental in his son's conversion.
On All Hallows Eve, SMC will lead an online Eucharistic holy hour from 11pm Eastern time to midnight. Join us in reclaiming the sanctity of this beautiful and graced holy feast. God has many and wonderful graces for you on this night! St. Bartolo Longo- pray for us. Our Lady of the Rosary- pray for us.

Sample of Survey Comments from Oct 6th Deliverance Session
Comments from October: First time! I really loved it. The Holy Spirit was present. I felt lots of electrical energy throughout the prayer. Things were detaching and being pulled out. After the prayers, I felt lighter and I had good energy this evening. I felt like a whale where the barnacles are cleaned off! Praise God! I will come again.
It was wonderful.
I feel much hope and peace!
My mother was a medium who cursed me with a homosexual spirit, and it had been lifted a while back. I felt a calmness and felt that I could forgive my mother, my sister and my brother who were also affected by my mother's medium involvement.
I was moved to tears… Then great peace.
Powerful prayer session!
You make us feel valued by God and loved by Him.
I love the prayer session and am always filled with peace and joy and feeling ‘cleansed’…
This is a must attend every month for me. Whenever I feel beaten down, discouraged, overwhelmed and distraught, Msgr Rossetti and team are there through God's grace to pick me up once more. I cannot express my gratitude enough.
Thank you. Love the whole experience - including the new prayers. My mother ended her life by suicide…she was 80. I turned 80…and I experience depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation ~ Jesus, I trust you will deliver me from these satanic attacks
Our family is in a crisis right now, and we all participate together. This helps us more than you could know.
I think the main grace this time was a renewed confidence in God’s providence.
I had a great experience, full of peace.
I have been participating for a year and it has been very powerful and healing; so many Christians don't realize the exposure we get in our world to things that are not of God. For example, I learned to meditate using Sanskrit mantras at my previous church and had some weird/bad things happen. Now, my husband and I are praying the rosary daily, and reading St. Joseph Catholic bible in a year. And it all started with seeing your amazing short videos like Lifting All Curses; God bless you!
I feel so much lighter, more peaceful, and most of all, hopeful.
When we got to the casting out of evil spirits I starting coughing for about 15 minutes & spitting up gas bubbles. Subsided by end of of the session. Feel peaceful now.
Beautiful!!…I can’t wait for the next one!!
Peace. God is restoring my peace and life…My wife got into the occult, druidry, OBOD, shamanism, and witchcraft a few years ago. Then she had affairs…Needless to say she is now gone and the children are with me more than with her. After such an intense and chaotic time, for me to say "peace" is more than feeling good. It's victory and spiritual warfare!
I feel lighter and lifted. This last session you added the of God‘s children and I cried. That’s what I needed most.
Tears just fell out of my eyes and I didn't sense sadness. I literally fell asleep sitting up, twice…Forgiving people who have harmed me, this is how I can explain it......feels like I am taking the bricks off of my back one by one.
I cried when doing the final litany. I pray I will begin to feel healing of the emotion/belief of being unloved, unwanted and uncared for all of my life. This litany unlocked many unshed tears.
Tonight was super special - for years I've been bringing my cousin's intentions to your meetings and tonight she signed up and joined the session. Her daughter is heavily involved in witchcraft and there is a healing of memories needed from past wounds. She is so at peace - I've never heard her this calm and she smiled for the entire session!!! Praise GOD and thank you
This time I had extreme nausea. It came on during prayer. It got stronger and then completely disappeared after praying against curses several times.
… healed my soul and brought me consolations that I need to stay the course…
Deeply moving and sacred.
My oldest son (age 25) has gone from dating a Muslim woman and thinking about converting to Islam to being confirmed in the Catholic Church! He was confirmed in August and took St. Maximilian Kolbe as his Confirmation saint. I’ve offered these sessions for him, and they have helped. Thank you & GOD!
Praying for enemies I found especially powerful. I have been hurt by many including members of the church. Praying for them is humanly impossible but necessary. Thanks for including that.
I love this every month, but especially this month because…I am dealing with a person who hurt me and this will bring healing and forgiveness instead of me trying to get revenge.
A feeling of peace and strength.
During the generational prayers started having physical sensations. When Fr Michael McGivenny name was mentioned in prayer my right leg gave a involuntary kick with a strong tingling sensation. Felt wounds on my face…Fell asleep for a few seconds just before the end. Feeling cleaner now.
I was moved with joy…
I have been attending the monthly prayer sessions for over a year now. From the very beginning, I have felt a deep sense of peace and calm each time. The prayers have been a great source of strength and comfort for me. God bless you!
I feel more open to God this morning…
I have had lots of difficulties with an addiction and depression, it was very severe and an offer encouraging me and trying to support me to continue my addiction and go even further into it came up out of the blue just the day before the prayer. Fortunately I was able to hold out until the prayer session and during and afterward I felt much calmer, at peace and strong enough to say no and cut that person out. Thank you
There has been a lot of financial abuse, mental illness, depression and physical problems. I came tonight at the edge of hopelessness and despair. I now have a renewed desire to find solutions instead of giving up.
As always, the session felt like the safest place to be. I never want it to end.
The Prayers For Your Enemies has helped me lift by a bit ongoing rumination of violent abuse from an ex-husband. It’s been difficult to get past this. Thank you.
Excellent ! After speaking the prayer for one’s enemies & listing a few, I felt like I was under a faucet and being cleaned out; a beautiful sense of freedom.
It gives me hope and strength.
During the session I can feel healing happening and afterwards I can feel a weight has been lifted from me from my sons and from my home.
Peace and joy!
Thank you! It is strange to me how tired I get during the session but feel so peaceful and refreshed at the end.
Honestly I was angry at God all day for not "hearing me" or answering my prayers. I was surprised when anger came up during the session.Some tension released and I relaxed. Definitely going to keep up the sessions.
I felt tremendous peace.
As a child my mom used to take me to palm reading/tarot cards - spooky stuff. Thank you, Father, it felt good to have you praying over us, and praying your exorcism prayer over us; like a shower.
The oppressive weight I had been feeling for weeks lifted as we prayed.
I have had a difficult last couple of weeks and prayed to God to help me sort through my fears and needs. This was my first time after many sessions that I felt goosebumps; a couple of short and sudden brief periods of a tingling sensation over my body…Then, after saying the second Jesus I love you prayer, I became emotionally overwhelmed, tearful just wanting to burst out crying.
I feel as though my soul/spirit has been cleansed!
So thank God and His Mother and you Father and your team. Our lives were very sad and since joining the sessions we are feeling ver happy and preaceful and doing well.
During the prayer session: I sensed peace and calm.
Although I follow these sessions regularly I was moved to tears when we prayed the litany of being a beloved child of God. Something was healed in me. Praise God! Thank you
I have had such feelings of self-hatred, and feeling unwanted and unloved. During the prayers of removal of family curses, something came into my mind which I think was the root of these feelings, and I had never realized it before. When the picture of Jesus cradling the lamb came up, I had a catharsis of tears and truly felt the warmth and reassurance of His love.
I have experienced great healing with my two daughters, who have returned to the church. Praise be to Jesus. For my family tree, which has a history of masonry Mormonism Christian science, and of New Age practices each session brings deliverance from demonic attacks
This was the best deliverance session I think I’ve ever had. Felt peaceful & joyful near the end of the session & spontaneously started smiling as Monsignor was praying over us in Latin. Not a grin but a serene type of smile that made me feel joyful & happy. Something lifted. I’m letting go, which I’ve been praying about for a while. I felt God is answering my prayers. Thank you Monsignor & the entire team! Great session!
Very beautiful and peaceful session
I felt so calm and peaceful tonight.
I’m finally coming back to the Catholic Church after almost 30 years. In the last few years I felt like Jesus has been calling me back. I’m so grateful for this monthly prayer session. I send it to all my extended family members because we live on opposite coasts. I believe it’s a way for us to connect and pray together as a family in our homes. Thank you for this prayer session, it means so much.
This prayer session always spiritually fortifies me. After a lifetime of struggling with depression and abuse, I had a miraculous conversion to Catholicism a few years ago, and I've never been the same. I still carry emotional pain from past, confessed sins and trauma, but your prayers reinforce God's love for me.
I feel close to God and at peace. I also have a sense of healing.
Whereas I had not coughed anytime prior to the session, early in the deliverance, I began to cough heavily. I took it as a sign that demons were leaving me. Praise God! I felt so much better after the session because prior to the session I was so frustrated in just trying to get things accomplished in order to be available at 7 PM.
I just felt so much peace and God’s arms around me and my family
Thankful for the delivery session. I feel lighter, as if the burdens being taken away. Also feel negative thoughts gone.
Amazing!
After a traumatic experience in the Church years ago, I turned to New Age practices to heal. Instead I ended up needing deliverance, which I first experienced this past August. I am so grateful to Msgr. Rossetti and the SMC for these sessions
Deeply moved by the powerful prayers. At one point during one of the deliverance prayers I let out an unexpected, loud burp. Shortly thereafter, I felt a strong presence of peace. During my first attendance last month, many memories surfaced that taught me I had not let go of past hurts and pains. This time I recalled a few more, but more minor in comparison. Now I feel real peace.
GREAT
Before the session started, I had some negative thinking. The prayer session relieved my anxiety and helped me focus on Jesus’ mercy and healing. This was a truly sacred experience!!
I experienced a more profound feeling of forgiveness from God and from myself. I felt a deeper peace and faith in divine providence.
The peace I felt during the session was a gift.
I sobbed through the Litany of the Children of God - I’m in my 70’s and have never felt worthy of God’s love. I pray Jesus does give me the grace to believe it.
I was throwing up when I asked for God to cast out financial and relationship curses sent against me and my family.. I had a hard time saying I rebuke, renounce, reject the curses and I had to forcefully say the 3 Rs and the prayers.
I feel free at last and am immensely grateful…Thank you so much for releasing me into the loving arms of Jesus. I have longed for this and struggled for many years never being able to break free until last night.
The session was really uplifting .I have being praying and felt my spirit being lifted and my vision was very blurred the whole week [a]nd as the prayers continued [m]y vision was cleared.
I am losing my eye sight and our almost 19 year old son with home bound autism and 24 hour care is needed…At the middle and end of the deliverance prayer our son was flapping his arms like crazy (has never done so before) and was looking up smiling and so happy. I asked him if the demons were leaving and he said yes. He’s happy.
Profound joy!
I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THESE SESSIONS. THEY FILL ME WITH JOY, AND PEACE…this session reminds me that I am very fortunate to have been born and raised a Catholic, despite I ignored God for so many years and was in a total state of sin, and obsessed with all types of sexual sin. God has given me the grace to go back to Him, and love Him.
At the start of the session, I felt sleepy and somewhat lazy. However, by the end, I was filled with joy and enthusiasm.
I needed these prayers tonight, as my family seems to be going through a turbulent time right now, where there seems to be constant arguments, aggression and harsh words spoken. Tonight listening to these deliverance prayers i felt more at peace and it strengthened my faith, that God will get us through this.
Such a powerful session.
Strong reaction to the Latin prayer:almost made me yell, but didn't leave. During “Litany of the Children of God” my big father/priesthood/church wound opened up. Meditated how this is a wound in Jesus' heart too and how it unites me to Him/consoles Him. Begins to heal. Still molested but in peace!
I feel a profound sense of peace when I attend them.
I have been attending the monthly prayer session for several months now. Today was the first time I felt peace over my whole mind, body and spirit and was so relaxed throughout it as if I could fall asleep. I always feel refreshed in spirit and hopeful throughout, ready to face the many trails in my life.
Just a great experience. Thank you everyone in St Michael’s Ministry!
I feel tremendously peaceful and my head cleared. I've been attending this monthly session for months now and I've seen great improvement in my spiritual life. Thank you so much.
It was a very powerful experience. I felt like the shackles of unemployment that my son has been dealing with & the sorrow my daughter has experienced due to not finding a spouse have been removed. I trust in our Lord, that his will be done. Thank you for your powerful prayers. My house seems brighter.
I have done several of these deliverance prayer sessions. I always come a way with a sense of clarity and peace. I am not a catholic but have found the prayers have healed many parts of my path. So grateful.
Wonderful. Very Peaceful.
When Monsignor cast out specific demons he mentioned exactly what has been on my heart. That I won't ever get married, that maybe some spirit afflicting me cause I keep falling into depression and other sins because of that. Also, when Monsignor prayed and gave us blessing in those prayers I felt Jesus doing the sign of the cross on my forehead, then the presence of St Michael and my guardian angel.
Immediate peace once the prayers began. I had a much more peaceful sleep last night. For weeks, I’ve had the most awful dreams about friends and family. None of that last night.
Thank you so much, Father, for this beautiful blessing. Since joining the program, I’ve found such peace and comfort in knowing that I’m not fighting life’s battles alone. Even though my circumstances haven’t changed, my heart has I feel lighter, calmer, and no longer bitter or anxious when facing life’s setbacks
My whole family is now so broken…Our marriage was in shambles. I can see gradual glimmers of hope and am so thankful.
I feel safe and seen. I feel counted. I feel I matter
I have a hard time believing but am glad to pray the litany of children prayer. The first half of that prayer is where I must be wounded because those words are hard to believe but so good to hear and say with difficulty. Thank you for your love in prayer action.
Thank you for this amazing deliverance session. I feel much peace. We really need these prayers right now and I try to attend every month, it really makes a difference in my spiritual life.
Very powerful and thorough. So glad I found this!
This is the 3rd or 4th time I've joined the sessions. When I was a child I was exposed to a ouija board and had years of nightmares and fears. In addition, there are wounds of division in my family, and mental illness in my children. Every time I pray with St. Michael Center, I experience a deep peace and joy. I never tire of the prayers, and the time seems to fly.
These sessions are a lifeline for me because of the freemasonry in my family line. My faith has been strengthened. I am not as fearful as I used to be. My husband isn’t Catholic. I listen in the bedroom while he watches tv. About halfway through I looked up and saw him standing in the doorway. He evidently felt “something” and came to see that I was ok. I smiled. These sessions reach people who haven’t seen or heard any of it.
Glad I came!!!!!!
There are so many things affecting me and my family. Being part of the deliverance prayers gives me hope. It helps me identify those bad thoughts that are not from God. Any time I am having I hard time getting rid of a bothersome thought, I try to remember to say the St. Michael prayer and that really helps me. Thank God for this holy ministry.
Though I usually feel peace throughout these sessions, this time I felt convicted and found myself saying a prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows to help me realize what I needed to lay bare to God for forgiveness. I realized that I had dabbled in the occult and still held a fascination with it. As I admitted this fault and prayed, the peace came…I now see.
I felt heavy depression, fear and worry lifted off of me. I feel more hopeful that my sons will return to God. Earlier I was feeling scared and hopeless with a lot of anxiety.
Sometimes I feel like my prayers are falling on deaf ears. I feel very unloved, totally unworthy of God's or anyone's love. I really appreciated this session focusing more on us being loved and worthy of God's love. Like many people, I'm broken from trauma and poor self-image. I want to know and love God more but it's hard when I don't know or love myself. Thank you!
Very powerful..encircled in healing love.
Things really got so much better since I found this wonderful servant on YouTube. The occult third eye prayer was sooo life changing as a previous reiki practitioner. It appeared my boundaries in the spirit between myself and others were so weak and this greatly helped. This is my second session and I've felt empowered and have been moving forward with healing graces. I've been seeing things with more wisdom. I have more a grace overcoming obstacles.
I felt lighter, more confident, and at peace by the end of the session. I experienced a high vibrational feel as if negative energy ( or oppressions) were leaving me, being vacuumed away.
I had been feeling ill all day and since yesterday evening! During the Latin Prayers by Msgr Rossetti, I slowly felt a heaviness lifting from my body! Its not the first time, but Ii am now even breathing more easily!( I have 2 rare lung diseases) Almost something like a black fog lifted from my body! I feel not only peaceful but just know in my heart that my situation in my life is improving!
It was very powerful. There was a point in the session about 60% into the prayers with Fr Rossetti I felt like I had just taken a Spring shower. I felt so clean and refreshed. It was incredible. I still feel it hours later.
The new prayer about forgiving enemies was difficult to get through but full of power. I’ve been through the wringer with a serious ongoing family situation and for the first time in weeks my burden feels lighter.
A woman did reiki on me 25 years ago. It was at a chiropractors office and I was there for a massage. I panicked during the reiki and I was housebound until recently. I'm finally able to leave the house. I rode my bike 5 miles to church on Sunday. I wasn't able to stay in church during Mass but I believe it will get easier. I believe I had a problem from the reiki and it's finally lifting.
It was an amazing experience, and truly healing and liberating. My eyes filled with tears during some portions, and I felt a deep peace after the session. Such miraculous grace. Thank you!
This is my fourth session. I was surprised at a slight shudder, followed by a profound, deep and heavy calm. My daughter did not want to participate but was in her room where I am pretty sure she could hear. She had two episodes of intense coughing - she hasn't been sick. I hope she was expelling the demons that whisper hopelessness and rejection of God to her heart. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so grateful to your team.
