Exorcist Diary #395: Odium Fidei

[Computer generated. Blessed by priest.]

I cannot think of any who have a greater hatred of the Catholic faith (Odium Fidei) than Satan and his demons. Every exorcist experiences the pure hatred of demons for priests, the Church, and all things Catholic such as holy water, relics of saints, the crucifix, the Eucharist, the BVM and more. The presence of this pure overwhelming hatred in a session is one strong sign that demons are truly present.

Satan's human minions mirror that same odium fidei. Satanists mimic Catholic sacraments, including a Black Mass, and try to acquire a consecrated host from a Catholic Church. A woman blessed in black, captured on a security camera, stole a number of relics of saints from one of our exorcists. Priests, as well as many faithful Catholic ministries including our own, are the targets of witch's spells and curses.

On a broader scale, there has been a surge of attacks on Catholic Churches in the last few years. From 2018 to 2024, acts of hostility against all Christian churches have surged by over 800% with the Catholic Church being specially targeted. There have been over 560 documented cases of arson, broken windows, statues decapitated, satanic graffiti, and, especially heart-breaking-- gun related crimes against Catholic churches and people. Such was not the case, at least not in this proportion, just a few decades ago.

What does it mean? First, I take it as a back-handed compliment. If Satan and his minions especially hate the Catholic Church and are trying to destroy it, then the Church must have a unique and powerful role in combatting the forces of evil. I believe it does. I experience this in an exorcism.

Second, the rise in such public acts of desecration and violence are reaching a kind of crescendo. I am not one to suggest that the End of Days is upon us. But certainly there is a major out-front spiritual battle taking place, the likes of which have not been seen for a long time. But Jesus and his Church have already definitively triumphed.

I think it has an important significance for all. One of the signs of sanctity among the great saints was, and still is, a love of the Church. Recognizing the human limitations of its leaders, saints love the Church because it is the body of Christ. More than just a human institution, it is infused with the Holy Spirit and is the "Bride of Christ" (Eph 5, Rev 21). Conversely, Satan and those under his sway have an odium fidei; they hate Jesus and his Church, and are trying to destroy it.

In these intense times of spiritual combat, my best advice: stay in the boat of Peter, love the Church and the faith, cling to Jesus and his "Bride." You will be led safely home.

Very peaceful and loving experience.

I loved it - it was my first time. Beautiful prayers, protections, blessings - I felt so calm and surrounded with peace and protection….EVERYONE can benefit from these sessions.

I've been struggling with addictive behavior regarding YouTube. I've been watching it for hours every night as a way to distract and numb myself, and I haven't been able to stop for weeks. For the past 2 nights since the prayer session, I haven't watched YouTube, and I believe it's because of the graces I received through the prayers.

Peaceful experience.

The healing graces are always huge and ongoing.

During the Prayer to Break the Freemasonic and other Occult Curses I started coughing all of a sudden and struggled to be able to recite the prayer…

I have background of over 20 years of reiki, new age healing, tarot cards, astrology etc. I have been doing redemptive prayers for almost 2 years and slowly I heal from all these things I did. I got nauseated and pain on left side of head during the new divination prayer we prayed. I felt much better by end of session…These prayers have changed my life in so many good ways.

Inspiring, calming and satisfying.

A life saver. Thank you

I have joined these sessions since the beginning (thank you!!!), and they have been a true blessing in my healing from childhood (and adult) trauma.  I thank God for His generosity in enabling you to be conduits of His grace.

Serenity, peace, comfort knowing Gods love and mercy are in my heart.

Amazing and a true blessing!

Forgiveness has been an ongoing issue for me. I think after months of this deliverance session, I’m finally turning a corner. I don’t have the same anger attached to the people who hurt me anymore.

Tremendous session, more than what I was expecting.

Deep peace spread down the torso and legs during the prayers against generational curses and sins.

The prayers are very comforting and I feel a release and relief from my anxiety

It was a great session. I´m feeling free of torments and felt the dark [cloud] had lifted, I felt lots of Love…

Always rejuvenating and peaceful.

5 years of abandonment and estrangement by our daughter. The sessions help us to forgive her and her husband and give us the strength to endure…we have not seen any of our 4 grandchildren as a result.  Our hearts are broken.

6th time…that I participated now. After the first time, my life drastically changed for the better…the next day I went to confession immediately, the last confession before that was 20 years ago. I now pray the rosary daily, go to mass daily, my heart yearn[s] for Jesus.

Powerful experience…

Great experience, i felt so much lighter and feel like i can finally get some sleep again.

…at the beginning I had an overpowering feeling of sleepiness come over me almost like I was drugged! After the first several prayers it suddenly left as quickly as it came on.

I felt hope and like I am not alone.  I feel I can be forgiven and worthy of Jesus’s love. I feel like my family can be saved.

Your deliverance ministry brings me hope and peace that God has not abandoned me.

I began by asking the Holy Spirit to give me names to forgive and severe ties. Always surprising names that surface along with the obvious ones. Very intense crying and nearly shouting prayers. Heaviness on my chest throughout. A great deal of relief from the prayers and peace. Thank you dear Msgr and team.

I had a deep sense of peace.  My prayer petitions were surprising to me - I feel like I'm getting to the root of all the years of pain and suffering.  I feel loved.

Peace and more trust in Gods plans.

A sensation of relief, a heaviness lifted.  Thank you

When the prayers against curses and hexes were delivered, I felt a massive pressure in my head behind my eyes. It felt like a vice around my entire skull. I then felt a “shift” happen in my whole body. For the first time in 9 months I slept like a baby last night!

This was my first session and I found it to be very powerful and freeing!  It left me so hopeful and feeling loved and protected.

This was an amazing experience!

I was sleepy, tired and I was weeping during the rosary…I know I am cursed because my own biological  mother has been practicing the occult and witchcraft since I was a kid and has cursed her children and husband. After the session I felt great and more energetic…back pain reduced

Almost immediately I got a migraine but as prayers continued I felt like my headache melted…like warm butter. It was beautiful.

When the St. Cyprian prayer was ending I felt something depart from my chest and I felt Jesus' presence and my tears just came out and I heard in my heart he is with me.

I felt much lighter and happier after the session. There has been a lot of strife in my family and I have been praying for peace.

Finding your resources has been such a blessing. I have been suffering over 10 years now… Tonight while Father was praying in Latin, I don't know what he was praying but as he was saying in English about the demons trembling, I was simultaneously physically trembling and shaking something out. Thanks be to God.

These sessions always result in a lot of tears, but they are cleansing tears, followed by a tremendous relief.

I started the session very agitated, upset about some spiritual things in my life, and confused. I ended the session at peace and feeling God‘s love.

Joy, Peace

Having these monthly Deliverance sessions is sort of like having a monthly spiritual housecleaning!

I struggle with a lot of self hatred, self rejection and unforgiveness of self. I felt the Holy Spirit removing the walls around my heart I have been building up for years…I also suffer from a lot of mental torment from years of trauma and abuse I have endured but God makes his presence known in each session…I can see God is healing me.

Very powerful experience! Thank you so much!

… medicine for the soul

During deliverance l felt a headache then extreme sleep then as Father Rossetti said the deliverance prayers l felt a sudden jolt as something was pulled out of my stomach l felt relieved.

I felt a lot of peace and joy.

Minor twitching reactions throughout the session, especially during the prayer to break curses, divination, and the prayers in Latin. Tremendous feeling of peace afterwards.

Feeling extremely grateful. I had a wonderful experience…

I was falling asleep and having a real hard time keeping awake during the session, but then Msgr was praying over us that the demons of lethargy would go away and I immediately felt awake and not sleepy anymore. Wow that was amazing, haven’t experienced that reaction before.

I love these sessions.

A sense of peace that removes fear and anxiety

The Prayers of freemasonry and all occult were especially powerful with me. I was told that my Father was part Sioux so all occult and native American beliefs in shamanism really spoke to me…

Once again, a profound prayer session. The healing goes deeper each time.

I came to the session, scattered, stressed with heaviness. Now, I feel light, confident and free! Praise God. Renewed in faith that He is really with me.

The hour was powerful and strengthening.

Tonight experience, great freedom, and joy. Through the prayers several people were brought to mind to forgive as I did so I experienced a deep love for each, and more freedom and joy flooded my soul.

I felt a lifting of heaviness and much peace

Lots of shivers on my spine during the generational Deliverance prayers. Realized that I still had a deck of tarot cards in my house..I took scissors during the session and cut them all up and threw them in the garbage. A concrete sign of commitment to Jesus.

This is a life changing moment. I have experienced peace, focus and spiritual renewal.

Amazing experience.... I cried a lot during the session for no reason, but in the end, i felt such peace, and the love of our Lord and our blessed mother.

… I really appreciated the prayers against divination. I used to read Tarot cards, and although I confessed it and stopped years ago, the gravity of it still haunts me.

It was beautiful. For one moment when Father did one of the prayers, I felt a lump in my throat, and then tears started to come out. At moments I even burped, and when it was over I felt very peaceful and happy.

I have suffered with low self-esteem and feeling worthless…The online deliverance session gave me the words to articulate what it is. I was crying for and this morning the day after the session, I really do feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off of my mind.

It feels like a weight is lifted. It's like cleaning out forgotten corners of my mind and heart with forgiveness and mercy. Thank you for leading me into the places I've spent years trying to hide and forget consciously and unconsciously.

Brief period of uncontrolled tears as I continue a journey of healing from life's trauma but very peaceful. Thank you for this ministry.  I have been attending for about 2 years and have had some rough patches but overall have seen vast improvement with a gradual healing which is so important. I encourage each person - Don't give up!

I cried a good deal during the session and while renouncing the Freemasonic curses, I felt something squeezing my heart until the prayer was over. After that, I felt light and free.
