How The Devil Steals Your Soul | Fr John Hardon

[@JoseAbell]

The devil uses the power of the government to do his work. That's really insightful.

I recite the prayer to Holy Saint Michael The Archangel every morning on awakening; and also at night which is the last prayer I say before going to sleep. I also recite the Surender Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus, upon awakening. Blessed be God!

@STETT ...And the devil, delightful of error seeks the 70,000 stranded denominations; for without mercy does destroy and dull the sensibilities having ignored the truth.

[@aleafox1675]

Good idea, I think I will do the same thing.

[@c.Ichthys]

@STETT No one who asks for intercessory prayers prays to an idol Learn what an idol actually is. Do you know and understand holy scripture? As for Mary, Saints and holy angels and intercessory prayers I hope this explanation will be beneficial. We are told in Scripture to pray for one another. Jesus told His Apostles that He does not pray for the world, only prays to the Father for those who belong to Him. That is why intercessory prayers are a must! And God does not hear sinners!! Only hears the prayers of those who do His will, and are obedient. Righteous people. John 9:31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous. So, who is more righteous and holy than Mary, Mother of God, the Angels and Saints/martyrs in heaven? In Scripture we see that Angels and Saints in heaven carry our prayers to the throne of God in heaven. Those are intercessory prayers. Even Jesus said the angels of children see the face of God. I can provide Scripture. Jesus also said He doesn't pray for the world, only those who belong (obey) to Him. I reiterate: We are told to pray for one another, and death of the body doesn't end that. Our souls are immortal. We do not worship anyone but God! Revelation 5:8 When he took it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each of the elders held a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the holy ones. Revelation 8:3-4 Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a gold censer. He was given a great quantity of incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the gold altar that was before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up before God from the hand of the angel. These are intercessory prayers!! The Saints and Angels interceded and carried the believers prayers to God in heaven for us. Those prayers did not ascend to God on their own. P.S. When we die our flesh decays however we are alive in the spirit since our souls are immortal. Jesus spoke to the "dead" Moses and Elijah and the Apostles there witnessed this: saw and heard! (Transfiguration). Jesus declared and taught that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not dead but alive! The Elders in heaven (Revelation) are alive in heaven and see and hear us, and carry our prayers up to God's throne in heaven. (OT 12 elders of the tribes of Israel and NT 12 elders of the Apostles of The Church). The martyrs are alive in heaven and cry out for justice!! Revelation 6:9-11 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. So we see that asking holy angels and saints in heaven to pray for us (intercessory prayers) is found in Scripture. Oh and don't forget about God commanding the Israelites to make a statue of a bronze serpent and place it upon a pole and anyone bitten by a deadly poisonous seraph (snake) had to look upon it to be healed.

[@dianestroud8006]

Interesting how one is never to engage the evil one in conversation. I can't recall that I have ever tried to do so. But good to keep in mind. Fr. Hardon is a gem!

[@finallythere100]

If he actually appears before you (red eyes, shadow man, etc.) I understand that it is OK to say firmly, "I rebuke you and command you to leave, by the power of the Most Precious Blood of Christ., In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (I'm open to correction, but I think that is correct...)

It's funny how hard it is to find a good and faithful SJ but my Church has one that gives a beautiful mass and oh boy if you go to confession with him he dishes out a heavy well deserved pennants. I feel kinda bad for him because I try to stay with my Priest and he is very old but I always try to complement him for how beautiful his Mass was but he is so so humble and grateful when I complement him. One thing I must say is he is really good at hidding outside of the Mass and Confessional😅🙏. I truly do count him as a blessing to our small but growing Church.

Fr. Harden was a light of Christ in the darkness of 20th Century. He spoke the truth in love and was not afraid to do so. May he rest in peace!

[@ShoJ369]

On this earthly Pilgrimage we all deal with our sinful nature and we battle ahead to overcome this. However, the closer we become to God, the more the enemy assaults us. Be stubborn, rebuke him by Prayer and fasting, I think we are all aware of how fragile " peace ", of a sort is in the world at this time. We need to remain in a state of Grace, Our Lady will help us at every turn if we just ask. 🙏

PRAYER TO MARY, QUEEN OF THE ANGELS [ August Queen of Heaven Prayer ] An Indulgence of 500 days. (S. C. Ind., July 8, 1908; S. P. Ap., Mar. 28, 1935) August Queen of Heaven and Mistress of the Angels, thou who hast received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan: we humbly ask thee to send to us thy heavenly legions so that, under thy command, they may pursue the demons let loose upon the earth, fight them everywhere, vanquish their audacity, and drive them back into the abyss. “Who is like unto God?” O good and tender Mother, thou shalt ever be our love and our hope. O divine Mother, send the Holy Angels to defend us [me] and repel far from us [me] the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend and keep us. Amen. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS PRAYER [Please Read] The faithful are asked to say this prayer frequently and fervently. It is of great importance given the following remarkable background: [1] The prayer was dictated by the Blessed Mother herself to the holy and venerable priest, Fr. Louis-Édouard Cestac, on January 13, 1863 as a means to combat the powers of Hell. [2] An exorcism prayer in itself, this is a formidable prayer for “spiritual battle” especially needed for our times when the ravages caused by the fallen angels are everywhere conspicuous and unrelenting. [3] It is a prayer approved by the Church: It was recommended to the faithful by Pope Pius IX, and later indulgenced by both Popes Leo XIII and Pius X. Prayers of the Auxilium Christianorum - Fr. Chad A Ripperger O Mother of Love, Charity and Mercy, O Mother of Prayer and Stigma, O Mother of Immaculate Conception and Graceful

If you read the meditations from Benedictus Monthly you will find out there were many more saintly Jesuits. I always look to see who writes the daily meditations. I know I realize this was before the modernists.

What is a Jesuit, and why does it sound like a bad word? You made a great video on what I'd s modernist, though my intellect is lacking to absorb most of the information. Ad we know, thr google dictionary and others have been overhauled for and by the modernists, and I was hoping that you may make a Catholic's perspective video on the definition of Jesuit.
