Question:

Hello,
May God bless you. I have been studying your site for a while. I've found out that I have been praying the way you recommend for about 6 months. I'm not sure if the person for whom I pray is baptized. He believes in God, that is all I know. Is it possible for me to pray for his conversion?

I know he is under evil influence because I feel it myself ever since I started praying. I am not scared, I trust in our Lord. I am just very sad from time to time. Sometimes it is as if I can feel what he feels, as it is not my proper feeling. Is it dangerous, as I find it very unusual?

I recently read Gabriele Amorth's book where he speaks about seers. One of them cleared this situation for me. She is a Catholic and just prays to St. Anthony. She told me that she now does not see evil influence over him. But I do feel it and see it. Is it possible that she is wrong?

For ex. I gave him a blessed angel statuette and I was afraid to do so because I felt that he would stop seeing me what actually has happened. He does not know that the object has been blessed.

I also cannot stop praying for him. That may be because I am in love with him but it is more than that. I am afraid to stop praying for him. I have known him for years and always ignored him but he never stopped looking at me and for me. He is happy when I am around for some reason. We are not having an affair. He has plenty of them elsewhere!

I suddenly became attracted to him on 13 January and soon as having noticed the problem started praying St. Anthony. The seer told me about his binding on 13 May and the number reoccures often. Could it be a sign that I have to keep on praying for him.

I may sound confused which I am and I am not a native speaker. I hope you understand my problem . Thank you for hearing me. I really need someone to pray for me as well. Do you not agree!?? God bless you all (I love Archangel Michael so much and more)

Dear Constance:

We will certainly pray for you.

In many ways I wish that Father Amorth's books were not available to the general public. The things in his book generally do not get interpreted correctly by the general public. I have noticed that people tend to zero in on the comments Father Amorth makes about seers. But we need to read ALL of what Father Amorth says about them. He says that MOST seers are frauds or otherwise not of God. He admits to a small possibility of genuine seers but seriously warns that one must be sure that such a seer is legitimate.

In addition, legitimate seers can only deal with things that are in the natural and material world (such as finding a lost child, or perhaps the body of a murdered person). They cannot discern the spiritual.

You are not qualified to know whether this seer is legitimate or not. The fact that this seer says she perceives the spiritual world and evil influences suggests that she is not a genuine seer (no matter how much she thinks she is).

You need to stop seeing this seer.

There is no significance in the number 13. Please do not begin to read things into that -- such thinking is superstitious and thus improper. You need to keep praying for him because that is what God tells us to do in the Bible and because it is an act of charity not because you see 13's.

Feeling what he feels is not necessary a bad thing. Assuming this is a normal phenomena it would merely be an experience of empathy.

What you do need to do is to pray for the conversion of your friend. If you feel that evil is around him then pray a Hedge Prayer of Protection around him and perhaps pray the Rebuking Particular Spirits (if you recognize specific attributes such as depression, hate, anger, lust, etc.). These prayers and others are found in our Spiritual Warfare Prayer Catalog linked below.

We will certainly pray for you and for him.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
