Father shares an experience while as a seminarian where one evening he was thrust back while on his bed and felt the presence of evil. He was able to clutch his rosary, and immediately the presence of evil abated.
St. Faustina wrote in her spiritual Diary entry 741 that she was taken to hell and was writing of her experience at the command of God so that no-one can deny its existence.
Father has a team during the exorcism, and describes the exorcism and a profound spiritual experience that is mentally exhausting. He uses sacramentals and shares about the St. Benedict Cross. He also talks of minor and major exorcisms, and the 2 Rites of Exorcism available to use. He says he has no power to expel demons; all comes through the saving power of Jesus Christ.
