questions re: House Blessing and demonic activity	Mary	Monday, May 23, 2011
Question: I saw that you have a house blessing listed on the spiritual warfare prayer page. I am wondering if this can be done by the homeowner without a priest present? The reason I ask is that I do not feel that I can approach our local priest, I feel he will not take me serious. Unfortunately this has been a trend in my area, as over the years I have spoken to several priests and barely even get to start my story before they dismiss it. I do respect the fact that not all priests are equal and some are stronger in some areas of ministry then others. It took over 5 yrs to get my house blessed. The first priest gave me holy water and told me to sprinkle it in each room while reciting the prayer to St Michael. The 2nd priest, who was installed after the other had left, did physically come out to the house and prayed for Jesus to be present and enter our home. He did not go to every room, and he did not want to hear any details of what we had experienced. He said this did not matter. Since he came out we havent seen a particular dark thing or heard it growling, but still have a lot of other negative things effecting us, in fact even more pronounced since. although some of this has led to awareness and healing in particular areas of our life so good has come out of it. My second question would be, can a demon cause anger that literally can be witnessed as going from one person to the next? As someone who watches from the outside, I can literally feel that it is going to happen that day. Then when it does, its like it takes turns with the people in our house. It is such an extreme hateful anger. Two of them do have mood disorders, and are on medication, but this seems to direct it at each of them in particular. Also horrific demonic nightmares which have occurred and now my one child in particular who had them has turned away from the church. I myself unknowing became involved in the occult. Ghost hunting and communicating with the dead, because of paranormal experiences which have occurred throughout my life. I have just recently become aware of the churches teachings on this and have been reading as much as I can to educate myself. and there is a lot more.... I would love to be able to find a priest that could be my spiritual adviser, and Im sure God is leading me in this direction. But in the meantime we would like to bless our home, place medals, St. Benedict, St Michael, Sacred Heart in each room and in the front and back of the house. We live in a small home that has homes attached on both sides so cannot do the entire perimeter. Please, any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank You and God Bless
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear Mary: House Blessings do not have to be said by Priests; anyone is authorized to do it. You can use the House Blessing and Cleansing in our Catalog, or we can arrange for me to lead the blessing over the phone, while you do the physical distribution of the sacramentals (Holy Water, Holy Salt, and St. Benedictine Medal. If necessary, we can provide you with the Holy Salt and the blessed St. Benedictine medals (one for each room of the house). Holy Water you should be able to get locally. If you are interested you can contact us through our web form. To your second question about demons inspiring anger from person to person, yes, this can happen. In fact, this is rather common. In our Catalog, linked below, there is a prayer called Rebuking Particular Spirits, that I suggest you use, plus the Hedge Prayers of Protection and any other of the prayers that may be useful. Since you have a history with the occult, I also suggest that you go through the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance, also linked below. You need to be sure that those "hooks" that demons can use as an excuse to hang onto you life are removed and renounced. We will be praying for you and your family. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page. We suggest that before contacting us directly for help you try the Seven Steps to Self-Deliverance. These self-help steps will often resolve the problem. Also our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog contains many prayers that may be helpful. If needed you can ask for a Personal Consultation.
