Satan's Answers to the exorcist by Gaspare Bullinger (1/22)


Foreword

      There are enraged, dark, raving spirits and they exert their influence on men. Hate spurs them on and their passion is to ruin the masterpieces of God, primarily man. They defame, infect and degrade him. What a terrible cruel power this is! We do not wish to be in the room with a dead one, neither with madmen nor poison snakes. Are we to dwell with the devil? He ruins life, soul, education, marriage. Let us therefore hate him. We must not suffer the devil to dwell in our hearts.
      What have we to do with you? The Cain like cold words become a curse and a rebellion on these lips. They have nothing to do with the Redeemer and his Divine Heart! This is the judgment of inexpressible unhappiness! Would any one of us utter this: “What have we to do with you Christ?” Has not in such a one faith, hope, and charity become darkened? Has not the mental balance become shaken already, deeply shaken?
      He who does not look into the sun and who has nothing to do with Christ proceeds slowly but surely along the downward path. The first step is doubts, the second scepticism, the last cynicism. In spite of finery, polished floors, and perfume: “education is not morality.” At every step we find, we experience that the beast shows through the human being in spite of titles, dignities, lace and furs.
      He who does not pay homage to God in his soul becomes the slave of his body. This we believe!
      By an inscrutable plan of God, Analyze was possessed by demons from birth to death. She suffered this suffering till the end of her life. In spite of this continuous hellish torture she kept praying, going to Mass, receiving the Sacraments and saying the Rosary al1 through life. She lived a most holy life and offered her life that souls may not fall into hell.
      How many souls did she save with this suffering? This was God's way for her to save souls, and very many of them! God has his ways to which we have to bow reverently and humbly. What God permits, is always within His love, though, sometime, it is hard for us to understand it.
