"(You're)..too late." The Hospice

Today in prayer I asked God to send me to where there was the blackest of heart that needed prayer.

I was inspired to go to a local Hospice.  I went into the building, not sure if I was in the right place, and finding the directory, I found where I needed to be.  Coming out of the elevators, I saw a chair and sat down.  To my right what looked like a sheriff standing guard outside one of the rooms.  There was a middle aged woman talking to him.  It was obvious that something very serious was happening in that room.  I stood up and took out my Rosary and began to pray the Divine Mercy for the soul in that room. 

                                                                               *****
[Pray as much as you can for the dying. By your entreaties [that is, insistent prayers], obtain for them trust in My mercy, because they have most need of trust, and have it the least. Be assured that the grace of eternal salvation for certain souls in their final moment depends on your prayer. You know the whole abyss of My mercy, so draw upon it for yourself and especially for poor sinners. Sooner would heaven and earth turn into nothingness than would My mercy not embrace a trusting soul." (Diary of St. Faustina, 1777)]
                                                                            ***** 
As I was praying the Divine Mercy, some people came out of the room that were crying, it was obvious that whomever was in that room had just passed away.  They hugged, and cried, and consoled each other, and then after some time, got in the elevator and left.  After some time, a man with a gurney came out of an elevator and went into the room.  I am still praying the Chaplet and after a few minutes the man came out with a body on the gurney under a blanket.  I began to pray the Divine Mercy out loud, but quietly.   The man got in  the elevator with his charge, and the doors closed.  Just a few seconds after the door closed, a white haired man came from the left, he looked directly at me and with a malicious smile said , "...too late." 

 I knew immediately what this was, and no...I wasn't too late.  God had made sure of that, I was right on time.  

I do not know the result of my prayers, but I don't have to...I trust Jesus, and I know what St. Faustina said IS TRUE. 

                                                                   ***** 
Earlier, our Lord said to her, "At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the indulgence is the same" (Diary, 811). 

                                                                  ***** 
There is absolutely no use in reading the writings of the Saints if we are not willing to put the knowledge given to use for the benefit of another. 

St. Faustina Pray for US!

"They Fear You."

Recently I was contacted by a young man who said he was very scared because he was experiencing demonic oppression.  He sounded terrified and didn't understand what was happening or what to do about it.   Now, normally we are called to be sceptical and not see the devil under every bush, but something about this young man's genuine fear pulled me more to belief than not.  I know that he could have had mental issues, or been just someone craving attention, but what he told me he was experiencing would dispel both of those theories. 

He said he was not religious, he said that he had been baptized many years ago as a child or an infant, but other than that, no religious or church experience.  So no matter what the truth may have been, either way I decided I was going to go to war for this kid.  (My prayers nor me asking him to pray in no way would hurt him.)

The first thing I did was send him prayers of Saint Michael the Archangel, the  long and the short version.  I told him he wasn't alone, and that I too had experienced demonic oppression.  I fought them with the Word of God, and the Holy Rosary at first...later I would use the weapons they must flee from, Holy Confession and the Holy Mass.  

What he sent me in emails was torturous for me as a mother to hear.  The demons where torturing him mentally and physically.  He was so scared, he said he had no one to talk to about this and didn't know where to turn.  When it was at it's worse, I went late one night to St. Joe Hill and offered the Stations of the Cross with many tears for him, begging God to protect him.  That night he emailed me back (before I told him I had prayed the stations) and he told me they were leaving him alone and he could sleep a little.   (The demons can't stand the Stations of the Cross.)

What really surprised me is that Matthew was experiencing obscure demonic tricks that I doubt he could have gotten from the internet. (I will not mention what they are). 

Our fight wasn't over, and there were many emails back and forth.  I made him some prayer videos and sent to him, which he said did help him.  In one email he spoke of the demons saying that... "They fear you." (meaning they were afraid of me). I knew immediately what that was.  The demonic will NEVER give you a compliment, but they will try to get you to have pride so that you will not be in a place of communication with God.  Pride broke the line of communication from God to the demons, and they desire that I would have pride in my 'holiness' so that God would no longer hear my prayers for Matthew.  It didn't work.

Later I sent him a blessed Rosary with the Miraculous Medal.  This was his most recent email to me:  

+++++++++++++++++++++++
"I am happy to be writing you again. Ive thought about you everyday and the items you sent have helped more than anything else.

They ran instantly from the miraculous medal. when i hold it and recognize what i am holding, it all goes away. all the pain all the torment torture, what-have-you... it all goes away. Im so happy!


i wanted you to know im doing well and i hope the same for you!!!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++

I knew for sure he was telling the truth, because he was not Catholic, and had no experience or knowledge of what a Miraculous Medal was.  

I have recently told him that he isn't done yet, he as only a reprieve and am encouraging him to come fully into the Holy Catholic Church because we have the best weapons to fight the devil, and I'm afraid he will be fighting this for a while.  I haven't heard from him, please pray for him.

The Miraculous Medal is powerful, we should all have a blessed one and wear it if possible.
