Father George David Byers: 05 Exorcism tips from Holy Souls Hermitage – Rejoice in the Beatitudes!

By Father George David Byers

The devil doesn’t at all like when a priest becomes an exorcist officially mandated by the local Ordinary. If this is becoming a statement which you can make by way of experience, then you probably don’t have to be reminded about what our Lord says in the Beatitudes:
“Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5,10-12).
Rejoice and be glad!

I love that.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been told that such beatitudes cannot ever apply to me. Imagine that!

Our Lord gives the grace.
