苦路經的許諾

 

路的十四許諾  ( 取錄自超級祈禱文集)

第四十至四十二頁

開天門之四把鑰匙

1.彌撒

2.玫瑰經

3.聖衣

4.苦路經

 

我們的主所作的許諾

1.       當人拜苦路時, 以信心不拘要求我任何事, 我都要賞賜他

2.       我許給那些時常拜苦路的人永生

3.       他們今世不拘到任何地方我都跟隨, 我要幫助他們, 特別是在臨終時

4.       緃使他們犯罪多於田間的草葉” , 海中的沙粒, 這一切罪都給拜苦路消除了( 注意: 該一恩許不豁免告明大罪的責任, 在我們領聖體前, 也須告明我們的大罪)

5.       那些多次拜苦路的人, 在天堂要得到特別的光榮

6.       我要救他們出離煉獄, 實在地, 在他們死後的一星期二或星期六, 我要到那裏( 救他們) ( : 不可因此濫用聖寵)

7.       在每次拜苦路時, 我降福他, 我的降福在今世及死後, 在天上, 永遠的世界裏, 處處跟隨他

8.       在死時, 我不許惡魔試探他們, 我要奪去牠一切能力, 好使他們平靜地安息在我的懷中

9.       假如他們以真愛去拜苦路, 我使其中每人變成活生生的聖體盒, 我喜歡把我的聖寵傾注在裏面

10.   我的雙目時常注視那些屢次拜苦路的人, 我要常常展開雙手保護他們

11.   就如我被釘在十字架上, 我也要常常與那些時常藉拜苦路而光榮我的人在一起

12.   我總不能使他們同我分離, 因為我要給他聖寵, 從不再犯死罪( : 不可因此濫用聖寵, 不努力改善惡習)

13.   在臨終時, 我要親自來安慰他們, 我們要一齊升天, 死亡為那些在今世, 藉拜苦路來光榮我的人是甘飴的

14.   我的靈魂是保護他們後盾, 不拘何時他們來投奔我, 我要常常幫助他

 

:

為那些濫用聖寵, 随便犯罪, 認為只要唸玫瑰經上彌撒拜苦路就可得救, 不愛主愛人, 不善作告解, 不悔改, 努力犯大罪, 不作每天自我反省, 不改善自己的人, 即使唸聖碧哲( 或叫聖碧瑾)十五遍禱文, 相信也得不到許諾.

 

聖書( 聖母恩寵聖衣, 傅文輝神父著, 慈幼出版)

曾有一人, 認為戴聖衣就不下地獄, 努力犯罪, 不悔改, 最終死前心口像火燒, 要脫下聖衣, 耶穌要審判他了

 

苦路十四處

請在下午三時至四時誦唸慈悲串經及苦路十四處, 這是耶穌吩咐聖傅天娜修女的. 及默想耶穌苦難

 

 

因父、及子、及聖神之名。亞孟

眾:主、耶穌基督,我們藉著洗禮與祢同死同埋;祢既藉著父的力量,從死者中復活;求祢也使我們能渡一種新生活。昔日的我們已與祢同釘在十字架上;求祢消除我們的罪愆,不再作罪惡的奴隸。我們既與祢同死,亦必與祢同生;死於罪惡,活於天主。

 

主,我們曾多次掙扎,多次跌倒;雖然我們知道祢就在我們身旁,但卻掉頭離祢而去。基督,請原諒我們,並幫助全人類認識、愛慕和尊敬祢。願我們能在眾兄弟姊妹中尋到祢,跟隨祢,在苦路上與祢並肩前進。

 

聖子高懸十字架上,慈母悲傷哀立其旁,舉目仰望淚流長。

 

第一處──耶穌被判死刑

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

司祭長和長老們對耶穌提出許多控訴,比拉多問耶穌說:「他們對你提出這麼多的控訴,難道你一點也不答辯嗎?」可是耶穌依然沒有作答。比拉多召集了司祭長、議員和民眾說:「我在他身上實在找不到什麼可以處死的罪狀。」可是司祭長們早已煽動群眾,要求給他們釋放巴拉巴。於是群眾高聲喊叫,要求釘耶穌在十字架上,比拉多終於為他們釋放了巴拉巴;同時,他下令把耶穌先行鞭打,然後釘在十字架上。

 

默想

朋友!雖然比拉多並不公允,

但當日耶穌在他的判決中,卻看出天父的旨意。

假若耶穌能順著天父的旨意,

屈服在比拉多權下,

你怎能拒絕因聽命而帶來的煩惱呢?

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主、基督,祢在受審判時,我們亦是其中判祢死罪的人,但祢卻為了愛而被釘在十字架上。

眾:我們還不知自愛,時常冒犯、違反祢。請幫助我們認識、愛慕祢,並遠離罪惡。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

心靈慘痛不禁沉吟,凝思愛子意切情深,甚至利刃刺透心。

 

第二處──耶穌肩負十字架

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

兵士們將耶穌帶進總督府內,就召集全隊兵士,圍著耶穌,然後把祂的衣服脫去,叫祂穿上紫袍,又編了一個荊棘的冠冕給祂戴上。於是他們開始對祂致敬說:「猶太人的君王,萬歲!」然後用一根蘆葦打祂的頭,唾祂的面,又跪著向祂行禮。戲弄既畢,他們就把紫袍脫下,仍舊給祂穿上原來的衣服,然後帶祂出去,要把祂釘在十字架上。耶穌自己背著十字架,走出城外。

 

默想

這十字架,這根樹幹,是天父給耶穌選擇的。

我的朋友,你所背負的十字架亦是天父給你選擇的,從祂的手中接納吧!

請放心,天父絕不會讓你的負擔,超過你的能力。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主,我們常常只看到自己的擔子,並認為它很沉重;當沒有人注意它的時候,我們覺得這擔子更重。

眾:可是我們忘記了別人的痛苦,也忽略了在我們身旁背著重荷的祢,即使知道了,亦從沒有加以援助。求祢使我們不要以自我為中心,多顧及他人,正如祢照顧我們一樣。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

獨子之母殊福貞女,內心痛苦誰堪比汝,甚矣哀哉莫可語。

 

第三處──耶穌體力不支,第一次跌倒地上

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

先知書

當時,我們看到他,沒有俊美,沒有尊嚴,也沒有什麼儀容可供我們欣賞。他只是一個被人鄙視、被人棄絕的人物,只是一個愁苦的人,飽嚐了苦難。人家對他只是掩面不顧,他是被捨棄的人,因而我們也把他視同無物。那曉得,他竟替我們負擔著苦痛,替我們承受著憂愁。

 

默想

創造及管理宇宙的天主子,

由於對父的服從,

變得像人那樣軟弱,

竟不能肩負起一根木頭的重量。

但那正是天父的旨意,

否則耶穌不能成為我們的模範。

若我們要成為耶穌的朋友,

也該無怨無尤地承擔人性的軟弱。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主,我們離開了正路,只得到空虛和酸苦。

眾:求祢光照,使我們認識,當我們軟弱時能得到祢的扶持。祢無盡的愛,將一切罪人抱於懷中,請讓我們都能共享祢的寬宏與慈愛。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

榮光之子如斯慘創,仁慈之母見而淒愴,悲復悲哉痛久長。

 

第四處──耶穌遇見了自己的母親

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

西默盎祝福了他們,並對耶穌的母親說:「妳看這個孩子,他被注定要叫以色列中許多人跌倒,許多人昇起,並將成為眾人排斥的標記。這樣,許多人的秘密心思便會洩露出來。至於妳,一把利劍將刺透妳的心靈。」

 

默想

聖母見耶穌被鞭打,

被腳踢,

像畜牲一般地被驅趕。

她的心靈疼痛哀傷;

可是從來沒有吐出任何申訴和抱怨。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:我們常常為自己的痛苦而嗟嘆,卻忘掉了其它兄弟姊妹也受著同樣或甚至更惡劣的遭遇。

眾:主,我們明白,只有分擔別人的困苦與悲傷,我們才能團結起來抗拒痛苦和患難的挑戰;求祢使我們永不關閉自己的心,卻接納每一個人,能像祢的慈母一樣奉行祢的聖意,與祢一同救贖世界。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

目睹愛子橫遭極殃,慈容黯淡涕淚徬徨,熟能見此不同傷。

 

第五處──西滿負擔耶穌的刑具

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

他們把耶穌帶走的時候,抓住一個剛從鄉下來的基勒納人西滿,兵士將十字架放在他的肩上,強迫他在耶穌後面背著。耶穌說:凡不能背負自己的十字架而追隨我的,就不配作我的門徒。凡保全自己生命的,終必喪失生命。但為我之故而喪失生命的,必能獲得生命。

 

默想

耶穌已無力,不能再獨自肩負十字架,

因此士兵便勉強西滿幫助。

朋友,這位西滿就是你。

把你的力量交給弱小者吧!

你每次減輕別人的負擔,

就是親手托起那壓在耶穌身上的十字架。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主,祢接納西滿的幫助,祢挑選了一個膽怯而被迫的人來幫助祢。

眾:求祢幫助我們,了解為兄弟姊妹服務的真正意義。我們時常忽略了四周的親友,請幫助我們互相依靠,互愛互助,使我們背負祢的十字架,樂意為他人服務,並除去驕傲,樂意接受別人的幫助。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

見子耶穌受盡艱辛,為救其民願捨己身,慘被鞭打酷絕倫。

 

第六處──韋羅尼加為耶穌抹面

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

聖詠

恥辱和憂悶,折傷了我的心;我指望有人會體恤我,卻沒有一個;我渴望有人會安慰我,可是尋不著。

 

默想

朋友,你有勇氣抺耶穌染滿血漬的臉嗎?

你問:耶穌的臉在那裡?

在充滿淚水的眼睛,

在遍佈皺紋的額頭,

在貧民窟裡,

在法庭、醫院、監獄─────

總之,凡有痛苦存在的地方,

耶穌的臉就在那裡。

祂就在那裡等待著你,替祂抹掉血和淚。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:我老實告訴你們,凡你們在我這些兄弟中小的一個身上所作的,也就是在我身上所作的一樣。

眾:主,求祢協助我們在迫害中,勇敢承認祢是主基督,正如韋羅尼加一樣,她堅信這個死囚是天主;其它人的譏諷、批評、迫害都不能阻止她愛主之情。請幫助我們善於運用祢所賜給我們的才智,服務人群,幫助需要幫助的人,讓我們明認祢活在每個人的心中。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

痛苦之母愁腸百結,因見聖子備遭磨折,祈祢許我共痛切。

 

第七處──耶穌再次不支而倒地

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

先知書

當時我們只以為他是被懲罰的人,為天主所打擊、為天主所貶抑。殊不知他實在是為了我們的過失而被刺傷,為了我們的罪惡而受盡了苦刑。透過他的受刑,我們才得安寧,透過他的受傷,我們才得康復。我們都是迷途的羊,各走各自的路;然而上主卻把我們眾人的罪累,加在他一人的肩上。

 

默想

朋友,這第七處,是考驗你意志的一個機會;

從這次跌倒中學習,

堅持行善吧!

有一天,當你感到前功盡廢時,

你會想,「我不能再繼續下去」,

那時請你轉向耶穌跌倒的事實吧!

信賴耶穌,繼續奮鬥吧!

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主,我們曾嚮往奢華的享受,沒有體察別人的勞苦及艱辛。

眾:許多人在生活的鞭韃下,已一次又一次地跌倒;圍觀的人多,援助的人少。願我們不在圍觀的人群中。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

代求祢子被刺聖心,增我心靈虔敬熱忱,常加愛慕情意深。

 

第八處──婦女為耶穌痛哭

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

有一大群民眾跟著耶穌,其中還有一批婦女為他哀悼痛哭。耶穌轉身對她們說:「耶路撒冷的女兒!妳們不要為我而哭,要為妳們自己的子女而哭。」

 

默想

耶穌曾多麼的渴望,

把耶路撒冷的子女聚集起來,

但他們都一一拒絕。

這些婦女現在為耶穌哭泣,

而耶穌的心卻為她們哀痛─────

哀痛她們面臨的憂傷。

耶穌在身受痛苦時,仍然去安慰他人。

朋友,

你如何表現你的溫良和仁愛呢?

 

禱文(跪下)

領:耶穌親臨世界,世界也原是靠祂而存在的,但世界卻不認識祂;祂來到自己的領域,而祂自己的子民卻沒有接納祂。

眾:主,我們深信祢居於全人類中,特別在那些被人冷落的人群中。請助佑我們在人群中體驗祢的存在,祢的痛苦,並且以關懷及愛心去接近祢。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

懇祈慈母分祢悲情,並將祢子身受酷刑,深深銘刻我心靈。

 

第九處──耶穌第三次跌倒在地

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

先知書

凡看見他的人,莫不驚愕,因為他的容貌毀傷得不再像人。上主的聖意要用苦難磨鍊他。當他的心靈苦痛到了盡頭以後,他必定看見光明而心滿意足。我的僕人要以自己的苦難使眾人成義,因為他承擔了他們的罪過。他甘願充當一個罪人,而犧牲自己的生命。其實,他負擔了眾人的罪債,並且時時刻刻為所有的罪人祈求。

 

默想

耶穌已全無氣力,倒臥在地上,

身體不能再動彈,就是拳打、腳踢,

也不能逼他再站起來。

然而,耶穌願意接受一切。

朋友,你的身體可以被摧毀,

但天上或地下絕對沒有勢力,

能夠剝奪你的意志,你的意志是屬於你的。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主耶穌,祢為了我們而受鞭打、凌辱,但我們卻時常跌倒、犯罪。

眾:主!請幫助我們體會每一位兄弟姊妹應有的權利,明白自己的責任,盡量幫助需要我們的人。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

聖子耶穌為救我們,遍嚐苦辱並以身殉,祈導我們出迷津。

 

第十處──耶穌被剝去衣裳

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

當時,他們另外還帶了兩個兇犯,同耶穌一起去處死。他們既到了那名叫「髑髏」的地方,就在那裡把耶穌釘在十字架上;同時也釘了兩個兇犯,一個在右邊,一個在左邊。耶穌說:「父啊!求祢寬恕他們,因為他們不知道自己做的是什麼!」當時,他們還拈鬮分了耶穌的衣服。民眾站著觀望。

 

默想

朋友,請看!世上可憐的君王,

在受造物前,被剝掉衣服,

身無一物;然而,誰還能比耶穌更富有?

同樣,你要生活豐滿,首先要關心天國的義德。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:人子來不是為受人服侍,卻是為服侍人,並且要犧牲自己的生命,救贖大眾。

眾:主,祢成了罪犯,其實,犯罪的卻是我們。我們所追求的奢飾華物把祢掩蓋了。社會上許多傷殘老病的人,願我們伸出援助的手,給予他們所需要的。許多人沒有一個合理的生活環境,更得不到別人的關懷與協助,失去了人性的尊嚴;願我們真正體會他們,把他們當作兄弟姊妹般看待。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

十字聖架救贖之詮,聖子死難償我罪愆,懇饒我罪復天緣。

 

第十一處──耶穌懸在十字架上

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

在耶穌的十字架旁,站著他的母親和他母親的一個姊妹,還有克羅帕的妻子瑪利亞,及瑪利亞瑪達肋納。耶穌見母親和他的愛徒一起站著,就對母親說:「母親,那就是妳的兒子!」又對愛徒說:「那就是你的母親!」從此,那門徒就把她奉養在自己的家中。

 

默想

朋友,你能想像釘十字架是怎樣的滋味嗎?

刑吏拉直了手,在木上按緊著手腕,

把釘刺穿肉,然後拿起沉重的鐵鎚用力敲打,

直至手被釘穿,

疼痛辛酸就像火藥彈在頭腦內猛然爆炸。

他們又抓住另一隻手,死亡的痛苦又另一次爆發,

然後再屈起膝蓋,好把腳貼住木幹,也用鐵鎚釘在架上。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:我給你們一項新命令,你們要彼此相愛,如同我愛了你們一樣。

眾:主,祢對我們的愛意竟不惜任何犧牲,我們願意效法祢,在我們的生活環境中實踐祢愛人的精神,努力減輕別人在精神上及肉軀上的痛苦,與祢一同救贖我們的弟兄。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

童貞聖母神聖之后,賴祢慈恩允我哀求,得常與祢同悲愁。

 

第十二處──耶穌在十字架上捨生

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

從中午開始,太陽失光,遍地黑暗;直到下午三時,耶穌大聲呼喊說:「我的天主,我的天主!祢為什麼捨棄了我?」有一個人跑過來,把海棉浸透了醋,綁在蘆葦上,送上去給他喝。那時耶穌又大聲呼喊說:「父啊!我將我的靈魂託付在你的手中。」說著,便斷了氣。

 

默想

十字架已成了一座講壇─────

父啊!寬恕他們吧……

你要和我在天堂裡這是你的母親……這是……你的兒子……

我渴……一切都完成了………

耶穌需要挺著手腕及腳,把自己托起才能開口說話,

每一個動作,都使他陷入一陣新的痛楚,

然後,當他受夠了,才放棄這可朽壞的肉軀。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:一粒麥子非經落地而死,只不過是一粒,死了以後,才會有豐盈的收穫。

眾:主,藉著祢的聖死,我們才獲得一個更充實及更珍貴的生命。請幫助我們,使我們關懷別人的生死存亡,重視肉軀和靈性的生命,使我們充份地領略生命的意義。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

耶穌五傷安慰之源,耶穌聖死救贖之鍵,賜我信心永不變。

 

第十三處──聖母懷抱耶穌

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

那天正值安息日的前夕,而那安息日又是大節日,猶太人不願在安息日有屍首留在十字架上,就來請求比拉多叫人打斷他們的腿,把屍首拿去。於是兵士來了,先後把釘在耶穌左右二人的腿打斷;他們來到耶穌跟前,看見他已經死了,就沒有打斷他的腿。有一個士兵用長矛刺透了他的肋旁,立刻就有血和水流出來。

 

默想

祭獻已完成,是的,耶穌的祭獻已告完成。

但,我的朋友,聖母和你的祭獻尚未結束,

聖母還要在手中接抱,她親生子的屍體。

你在離別自己所愛的人時,也會感到哀痛。

你在沉痛時應該想到,因著瑪利亞分擔耶穌在加爾瓦略山的苦難,參加救世的工程;同樣,你的哀痛,亦可充作靈魂的代價。

 

祈禱(跪下)

領:主,請寬恕我們的愚昧、固執、嫉妒及怨恨,並減輕所有因此而引起的痛苦與悲傷。

眾:求祢以祢的愛充盈世界,使我們生活在愛的滋潤中。慈母瑪利亞,妳是罪人的避難所,請為我們祈禱,使我們因妳聖子的功勞,幸獲天父的寬恕。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

將有一天靈肉分離,請勿棄我能瞻聖儀,永沐榮光無盡期。

 

第十四處──耶穌被埋葬

 

領:主、基督,我們欽崇祢、讚美祢。(單膝跪下)

眾:祢用此聖架,救贖普世。(起立)

 

福音

到了傍晚,來了一個阿里瑪特雅人若瑟,他大膽地向比拉多要求耶穌的遺體。比拉多准許了他,於是他把耶穌的遺體領去了。還有從前在夜間來訪耶穌的尼哥德摩,那時也帶著約一百斤歿藥和沈香而來,兩人按照猶太人的習俗,將耶穌的遺體用細麻布加上香料包裹起來,把他安放在一座由岩石鑿成的墳墓裡,然後滾了一塊石頭來堵住墓門。

 

默想

耶穌可朽的生命就此結束,

另一個新生命已開始,

為瑪利亞、為瑪大肋納、為伯多祿、若望和你,

耶穌在人世的工作已完成,

但在教會內及透過教會的工作,現在才開始。

朋友!由現在開始,時時刻刻,

你要作他的使徒、祭品、聖者。

 

禱文(跪下)

領:主,祢極大的痛苦仍要繼續,直到時間的終止。

眾:我們每個人都有自己的十字架,願我們都能分擔祢的十字架。請幫助我們在各人身上認出祢來,並樂意幫助祢,使我們真正的敬愛祢。

領:天主,仰仗祢所受的苦難。

眾:求祢垂憐我們。(起立)

 

聖子高懸十字架上,慈母悲傷哀立其旁,舉目仰望淚流長。

 

最後禱文

領:耶穌基督,人類的救主,祢用十字架戰勝了死亡,進入了光榮,使痛苦有了意義,賦給世界喜樂。求祢幫助我們繼續祢救世的工程,共同背負十字架。

The wonderful power of rosary

玫塊經:

( From : The secret of the rosary , by st montfort .)

聖母曾說:  我們每唸一遍聖母經, 我們就向她呈上一朵美麗的玫瑰花, 每唸完一串玫瑰經, 就是向她呈上一個花冠. 這花冠是永垂不朽, 直到永遠, 也為我們立下天上的功勞


THE ROSARY AND EXORCISM  

The rosary is the scourge of the devil”

-Pope Adrian VI

The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…

-Pope Pius XI

"The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies." The Blessed Mother to Saint Dominic Guzman (the 15 promises of the Rosary)

 

From :

https://catholic-link.org/quo

If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. For even if you are now on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil…

sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul. If–you say the Rosary devoutly every day of your life.

~St. Louis De Montfort

From :

https://stmaryspearland.org/news/power-of-the-holy-rosary

 

Father Gabriel Amorth, chief exorcist of the Vatican writes:

One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism: "Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end." The secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ..

( 取錄自小冊子: 玫瑰經非常有力的祈禱)

每一遍聖母經就像敲打魔鬼的頭一次

梵蒂岡首席驅魔師加俾厄爾阿莫爾特神父Father Gabriel Amorth寫道:

有一天, 我有一位同事在驅魔時聽到魔鬼說:

每一遍聖母經就像敲打我的頭一次, 如果基督徒知道玫瑰經是如何強而有力, 這會是我的終結者! “

聖母曾對一位聖人說過: “ 你每唸一遍聖母經, 就是加強我所傾注的力量

 

玫瑰經是天主給予我們用以摧毀罪惡的特殊強大武器

 

聖母於葡萄牙花地瑪顯現

聖母於花地瑪向其顯現的三位小童之一的聖路濟亞於1957 年的面談中指出:

我們活在末世之中, 聖母對於誦唸玫瑰經賦予新功效.

她賦予的這項功效就是, 無論問題有多困難, 無論是世俗還是靈性上的問題, 無論家庭問題, 世俗中的家庭問題, 教會大家庭問題, 甚至是關乎人命及國家的問題, 沒有問題是玫瑰經解決不到的.

讓我告訴你, 無論問題有多困難, 沒有問題是玫瑰經解決不到的. 透過玫瑰經, 我們將使自己得救, 我們將聖化自己, 使天主感到安慰,並且使許多靈魂得到救贖


聖保祿書信

我們是注定要受苦, 不叫任何人在這些困苦中受到動手眼搖

天主的旨意是要你成聖。輕視這誡命的,是輕視聖神

不要貪睡

戒閑蕩

在一切迫害和磨難中, 仍保堅忍和信德(信天主自然給人生的必須品,不擔憂明天, 信德即對天主有信心)

脫離壞人和惡人

誰不工作, 不應吃飯

有人游手好閒, 好管閒事

Timothy 2:9
女人要有廉恥(不要性感), 莊重, 不要鬈髮和穿金戴銀, 用珍珠和奢華衣服, 要以善行作裝飾, 這才是虔敬天主的女人

女人應節制, 慎重, 端莊,( 不性感), 不愛錢,

不一口兩舌

女人不要游手好閒, 饒舌不休, 好管閒事, 説不當的話

不可在別人的罪上有分子, 務要守身清白, (不説壞話)

只要有吃有穿, 就要滿足。想致富的人, 陷於誘惑, 慾望叫人敗壞和滅亡, 愛財是萬惡之源

不要寄望無常的財富
在善功上致富, 甘心 施捨

如果我堅忍到㡳, 也必和他為王
凡俗的空談, 務要躲避
這些空談, 使人趨於不敬, 這言談如毒瘤, 愈爛愈大

粗野的辯論, 要躲避, 辯論只产生爭吵


有人愛快樂勝過愛天主, 雖有外表虔誠, 這些人要躲避

凡要在基督內熱心生活的人, 都要受迫害

忍受艱苦

正義的冠冕為我預備了

有些人好空談

要避開世俗的貪慾, 要有節地, 公正地, 虔敬地在今世生活

不要辱罵,要温和

爭論要躲避
異端人, 讉責一兩次後, 要遠離他, 這人已遠離正道


千萬不要喪失那使你可得大賞報的勇敢信心, 要的是堅忍,承行天主旨意


( 必有大痛苦, 因此有賞報)

婚姻的床第應是無玷污

不可有競爭, 妒忌, 比較, 辱罵人。
罪人的天主是肚腹, 以羞辱為光榮
如果有人對某人有什麼怨恨的事,要彼此擔待, 互相寬恕, 如主怎樣寬待你, 你也怎樣寬待人。
你判斷人, 就是定自己的罪。
現時的苦楚,與未來的在我們身上要顯示的光榮, 不能較量。
我的憂愁極大, 我心中不斷痛苦(守齋)

你不可與此世同化,要辨別天主的旨意, 什麼是成全,什麼是善事,什麼是悅樂天主。
施與的, 應大方
對善事要明智, 對惡事要純潔無瑕
言談要一致, 不要分裂
天主為愛祂的人所準備的, 是眼所未見,耳所未聞, 人心未能想到的。
若有妒忌和紛爭, 豈不是屬血肉
你是聖神的宮殿 ,  不可毁壞它
我仍被視為世上的垃圾和人間廢物
被人咒罵, 迫害, 誹謗, 忍飢受餓, 沒衣服, 受人拳打, 居無定所
不可和淫穢, 貪婪,拜偶像,辱罵人,酗酒,勒索人的教友交往, 教外人, 不理他, 教內人, 要遠避。 把壞人從中剷除。 

為什麼不寧願受點屈

邪淫冒犯自己身體, 而身體是聖神宮殿

不結婚更為好, 奉事不是丈夫, 而是取悅天主

我要不朽的花冠

交結惡友必敗壞善行

我在萬般痛苦中, 流許多淚

我這活着的人,常為耶穌的緣故被交於死亡

我這現時輕微苦難,正分外無比地給我造就永遠的光榮厚報

你應從壞人中出來, 離開他們

天主愛樂捐的人

他博施濟貧, 他的仁義永世常存

論勞碌我更多

我在凌辱, 艱難, 迫害, 困苦中, 為基督的緣故

怕有爭端, 妒忌, 憤怒, 分裂, 挑唆, 自大, 仇恨, 宴樂( Gluttony)

不要彼此排撥

輕薄的戲言, 不相宜的

生活度日要合乎基督的福音

要存心謙下, 想自己不如人, 不可只顧自己

做一切事, 不可抱怨, 不可爭論, 要無可指摘和純潔。

我只以耶穌為至宝, 為了他, 我自願損失一切, 一切當廢物

他們的天主是口腹, 只思念地上的事。

只思念天上的事, 不思念地上的事

Nuns should not have too great affection for her family

 WAYS TO HELP US AVOID PURGATORY 

Purgatory is a great gift from God…one final opportunity to be purified. The fact is, however, that it’s God’s wish that we never need it. After all, what loving Father would desire to be separated from his son or daughter even one extra moment than necessary? God gives us every opportunity we need in this life to be perfected, because he desires us to be fit upon death to be with him.


How can we best avoid purgatory? Here are five easy ways.


1. Get Holier through the Sacraments


The whole point of being Catholic is to become holier and thus, closer to God. And to become holy, you need grace. Go to confession often–weekly if possible. God to Mass as often as possible, too, so you’ll receive the grace from the Eucharist. Try to make morning Mass at least one extra weekday if you can. If you’re ill or having a medical procedure with serious risk, request the Anointing of the Sick from your priest. Do your best to receive sacramental graces as often as possible.


2. Suffer Gratefully


As described in part 1, one of the many purposes of suffering in this life is to atone for the temporary, earthly effects of our sins. So instead of kicking and screaming when life’s inevitable suffering and sacrifices come your way, embrace them and offer them to God to expiate your sins (or that of loved ones). Offer even small frustrations to God for atonement, like getting cut off in traffic or dealing with a grouchy toddler or ill. One easy way to do this is to make a Morning Offering. Then God can use everything that happens for your spiritual benefit.


3. Seek Indulgences


Especially efficacious, too, are indulgences through the Church. In essence, an indulgence is God saying, “I forgive your debts; you owe nothing to my justice.” It removes even the temporal punishment due to sin. To gain an indulgence, we must generally do four things: receive Confession, receive the Eucharist, offer prayers for the Pope, and perform a good act. And if we do these things without attachment to sin, then God forgives not only the guilt of our sin, but the debt we owe, too.  To learn about the Biblical and historical foundation for indulgences, visit Catholic Answers here


4. Get Close to Your Mother


The Virgin Mary is perhaps our most powerful intercessor when it comes to purgatory. As she told St. Bridget, “I am the Mother of all those who are in the place of expiation; my prayers mitigate the chastisements which are inflicted upon them for their faults.”


Mary’s intercession is illustrated beautifully in a vision given to Blessed Renier of Citeaux. This religious, who had a great devotion to Mary, was one day thinking about purgatory, and became fearful of facing Divine Justice. He was caught up in a vision, where he saw the Mother of God advocating for him with Jesus.


“My son, deal mercifully with him in Purgatory, because he humbly repents of his sin,” he heard the Virgin say to Jesus. To which Our Lord replied, “My Mother, I place his cause in your hands.” Renier understood with unutterable joy that his devotion to Our Lady had merited him an exemption from purgatory.


The Venerable Sister Paula of St. Teresa, a Dominican religious in Naples, also witnessed the Blessed Virgin’s especial love for souls devoted to her. One day Sister Paula was transported in spirit to purgatory, and was surprised to find it illuminated by a bright light. She’d had previous visions of purgatory and it had always been a dark and gloomy place. While wondering about the difference, she saw the Queen of Heaven surrounded by angels and giving orders to liberate those souls who had especially honored her during their lifetime.


According to many revelations, this happens every Saturday, and also on every Marian feast day. The Feast of the Assumption has been revealed to be the day Mary shows the greatest mercy, delighting to introduce a large number of souls into the glory of heaven on the anniversary of the day she herself first entered the full glory of God.


5. Ask the Angels for Help


Revelations from numerous saints have confirmed that our guardian angels’ devotion and service to us continues in purgatory. Blessed Emilia was a Dominican religious in Italy, and her convent had a rule never to drink between meals without the express permission of the Superior. Not that this permission was lightly given; Prioress Amelia advised her sisters to make the sacrifice cheerfully, in memory of the burning thirst our Savior had endured for us on the Cross. To encourage them, she suggested that they confide the water they would have drunk to their guardian angels, that their protector might preserve it to temper the heat of purgatory.


One day a sister named Cecilia was very thirsty and asked for water. When the Prioress did not give permission, but instead encouraged her daughter as mentioned before, the young nun went away grieved but she obeyed her superior.


A few weeks later Sister Cecilia died, and after three days she appeared to Mother Amelia, shining gloriously. “O Mother,” she said. “How grateful I am to you! I was condemned to a long purgatory for having had too great affection for my family, and behold, after two days, I saw my guardian angel enter my prison, holding in his hand the glass of water which you caused me to offer as a sacrifice to my Divine Spouse. He poured that water upon the flames which devoured me, they were extinguished immediately, and I am delivered. I take my flight to heaven, where my gratitude will never forget you.”

Excellent passage about rosary 1

 THE ROSARY AND EXORCISM 



“The rosary is the scourge of the devil”

-Pope Adrian VI 



The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…

-Pope Pius XI 



"The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies." The Blessed Mother to Saint Dominic Guzman (the 15 promises of the Rosary)



an example was the 1948 story of the Possesed 10 years old boy, in Saint Louis Missouri that inspired the 1973 William Peter Blattys movie The Exorcist..where the family (who later all converted to the Catholic faith) sought the help of a protestant Pastor, a failure the protestant pastor was attacked by the demon and run out of the house in horror. Why? Because they the protestant have no authority coming from Christ and His church..in contrast with the effectiveness of Catholic exorcist priests in doing the task , a sign given by Heaven that the Catholic church is the true church that Jesus established where he authorized it to expel demons in His name. 



The Holy Rosary is an important weapon in the arsenal of an Exorcist in fighting demonic attacks, I've witnessed personally first hand how demon possesed invidiuals writhing squirming in pain once the Rosary was said or come into contact with these sacred objects . One example was when I was invited to attend an Exorcism seminar workshop conducted by Monsi Bandejo the Exorcist at the Archibishop Palace the former residence of the late Jaime Cardinal Sin and the place where Saint Pope John Paul II stayed during his 2 visits in the Philippines.

Spiritually and physically poor are those who are blessed.

That being said, physical poverty (material and financial) is often associated with holiness, yes. Jesus, Himself, praised the economically poor on more than one occasion (Luke 4:18, 7:22; Matthew 11:25) and He shared in physical hardship often living in a destitute way (Matthew 21:18, John 4:6-7, Luke 9:58). Truthfully, the Incarnation, itself, is a living example of poverty as God emptied Himself and took on flesh (2 Corinthians 8:9, Philippians 2:7-8).


Jesus even teaches that loving the poor is a condition we must fulfill if we are to enter into His Kingdom (Matthew 25:31-46).


Now, the phrase ‘poor in spirit’ speaks to an even deeper reality … beyond physical poverty … but to true spiritual poverty. To be poor in spirit means to acknowledge our deepest human need for God and to grow in that longing and that dependence on a daily basis. It’s only when we realize how badly we need God and how we are nothing without Him that we become worthy of the Kingdom He promises us (Matthew 5:3); when we realize we are the beggars, our gratitude to the Giver (of life) becomes that much greater.


The key isn’t whether you have money or have it not, but whether you have God or have Him not. As the great St. Francis de Sales put it in his “Introduction to the Devout Life” (which is a must read, by the way):


“Woe then to those who are rich in spirit, for their portion will be hell. He is rich in spirit whose heart is in his riches, and whose riches fill his heart… if you possess them, preserve your heart from loving them. Do not, then, complain of your poverty (if you are poor), for we complain only of that which displeases us; and if poverty displeases you, you are no longer poor in spirit, for your heart would rather be otherwise.”


Poor can refer to a person crouched in a corner begging, but this is not the same definition that Jesus refers to in this passage. The phrase “poor in spirit” does not mean economic poverty.


Some people have given all their earthly possessions away without possessing the spirit that Jesus is describing. Jesus is talking about spiritual poverty and not monetary poverty. To truly experience this spiritual poverty, we must come before the Lord broken, humble, empty of pride and conscious of the debt owed for our sins. “Poor in spirit” includes an honest confession that we are sinful and utterly without the moral virtues that we need to commend to God.


This deepest form of repentance acknowledges our desperate need for God. Those who are poor in spirit gladly cast themselves on God’s grace. To be poor in spirit is the personal acknowledgement of spiritual bankruptcy before God. When we recognize our spiritual poverty, there is nothing there to protect or preserve. We’re empty. Jesus teaches us that if we want to achieve wholeness of life, if we want to be fulfilled human beings, if we want to be blessed in this way, if we want to experience genuine joy, we must accept the reign of God, acknowledge our complete dependence on Him and place our complete trust in Him.


We need to trust in God enough to be able to accept His way of fulfillment without reservation.


Brokenness and humbleness allow us to truly experience God and all He has for us. We do not have the spiritual resources in ourselves to put Jesus’ teachings into practice. You and I cannot fulfill God’s standards by ourselves. All that is left for us to do is to come before the Lord “poor in spirit” and in humility. Those who are close to God are poor in spirit, and those who are not poor in spirit are far from God.

So, blessed are those who realize their constant need for God over, above and beyond everything else. Blessed are those not chained to the material and passing pleasures and luxuries of this finite world. Blessed are those free from anything and everything that would interfere with an ever-growing awe of God’s mercy and love. Blessed are those who recognize that no matter how their life is going in the eyes of the world, they are successful in heaven when they are faithful on earth. Blessed are those who need nothing more than God’s love and want nothing more than to share that love with all they encounter.

Power of rosary

 Our lady is happy with us who pray rosary :


When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”

Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche


Saint Francis is an incorruptible saint, he also pray rosary


The example of Saint Francis de Sales, the great spiritual director of his time, should spur you on to join the holy confraternity of the Rosary, since, great saint that he was, he bound himself by oath to say the whole Rosary every single day as long as he lived.

Power of rosary :


The Rosary provides in spiritual conflict as well. Bartolo Longo was the son of wealthy and devout Catholic parents, both of whom prayed the Rosary every  day. In the late 1800s a young and disillusioned Bartolo, having lost his beloved mother, was studying law at the University of Naples. Through the influence of acquaintances, Bartolo began dabbling in the occult and pagan rituals. He was eventually “ordained” a satanic priest, after which he focused on undermining the Catholic Church and ridiculing all things Christian. His demonic obsession (slightly different than possession), began to cause declining physical health, extreme depression, paranoia, and eventually a mental breakdown. After hitting bottom, he heard his deceased father’s voice telling him: Return to God!


A friend of Bartolo’s put him in touch with a Dominican priest who heard his confession and received him back into the Church. Shortly afterward, Bartolo experienced a mystical locution, during which he heard the priest repeating these words to him: “If you seek salvation, promulgate the Rosary.” He was so moved that he dedicated his life to spreading devotion to the Rosary. He eventually became a Third Order Franciscan, taking the name Brother Rosario. Today, the basilica he built in Pompeii still welcomes millions of pilgrims a year to see the church built by a former satanist who dedicated the rest of his life to sharing the truth of the faith through the Rosary. Having been beatified in 1980, Bartolo is now “Blessed Bartolo,” proving that the Rosary can save souls as well as win battles.





Please pray rosary

 If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. For even if you are now on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil…


sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and save your soul. If–you say the Rosary devoutly every day of your life.


~St. Louis De Montfort

聖母和巨象( 鮑思高神夢)

 聖母與巨象


一八六三年一月六日, 晚課後鮑思高神父照往年的習慣, 給學生們訂定一年一度的” 處世箴言” 時, 講了這個特殊的夢, 好能從中提取為該年度的箴言:

一個瞻禮日的下午,, 學生們正在操場中運動時, 鮑思高神父說, 我好似身在我的房間裏, 正如瓦勞力教授討論着有關宗教及學術問題, 突然聽得有人敲門聲, 劈見我多年前逝世的母親瑪加利大走進來, 請我們到陽台處去, 看看運動場中竟有什麼異事發生,

不看猶可, 一看就在學生們中發現了一隻超巨型的怪象, 我的心頓一怔, 馬上和瓦教授一起跑下樓來看看那隻厚皮大動物, 看樣子倒很和順, 只見牠用牠的鼻子輕輕地撫愛着牠的學生們, 可是絕大部份的學生, 見了很害怕, 退避到遠處去了. 有些還躲到聖堂裏. 連我自己也想逃入聖堂中去. 經過了走廊下壁龕處的聖母微笑聖像面前時, 我就用手牽着聖母的外衣邊緣求她幫助, 說也奇怪, 只見那美麗的聖母像忽然生動起來, 伸開她的右手向我招呯, 好像要祝福我似的,聖堂禮儀時鐘響起來了, 我見學生們差不多個個進了聖堂去, 隨後我也跟着進去, 看見那隻巨象站在聖堂入口處, 當我高擧着聖體降福你們時,你們就端跪着接受降福, 此時我察覺那隻巨象面朝正門倒跪着, 當你們步出聖堂時, 看見牠走進第二個運動埸中去, 就在這裏發生了巨大的慘禍. 事前在運動埸的盡頭處, 忽見有一支旗幟上面用拉丁文字寫着" 聖母瑪利, 請你救助遇難者吧"。 的字樣, 跟着旗幟有一批熱誠的青年列隊遊行出來。 突然間那隻大象兇性大作, 嗥暴跳起來, 把那些站在牠身邊的學生們一個個推翻在地, 利用牠的長鼻把他們拋入空中摔倒在地, 然後用腳柱踏碎。 可是最使人奇怪的是那些遇難者卻不會死, 有的逃避, 有的號叫, 有的受傷呼求同學們打救, 然而有些青年們巨象毫不傷害他們, 他們不僅不打救受傷的同學, 反而把他們推入巨象的腳下去讓牠恣意踐踏。

當慘禍正在發生之際,我正好站在聖母像的旁邊, 看見聖像生活起來, 並且漸漸長大, 變成一位相貎堂皇身材魁梧的高貴女士, 她高舉看手擘, 展開外衣, 衣上繡了許多詞句

我看見聖母的外衣漸漸越展越寛, 竟至可以遮蓋一切避難的青年們。 這時我看見聖母的外衣下, 己有一批為數相對較好的青年了。 可是卻有另一批學生偏不走向聖母去, 可是聖母也召叫他們來。 這樣聖母的外衣又再增展起來, 凡聽從她召喚的人, 她都仁慈地撫衞着他們。

有些避在聖母外衣下的人, 後來又溜了出去。 立刻被那巨象的長鼻扭住摔傷了。 逼得聖母東召西喚,可是那兇猛的厚皮大動物卻恣意蹂躪,一方面得了一批學生竭力阻止同學們投奔到聖母那裏去, 更增進了牠的破壞力。 

有些躲在聖母外衣下的學生, 獲得了聖母的鼓勵,不顧生死, 從巨象的大腳下搶救出受傷的同學, 帶到聖母那裏去, 創痍立刻就又復原了。 繼後這批“ 聖母的勇士”馬上又再度出發救助其餘的人去。 其中有些手裏還拿着木棍當作武器, 把那隻巨象逼離受傷的冋學,並且和那些替巨象狼狽為奸的惡棍堅決抵抗起來。 這樣戰況越來越激烈, 他們不顧冒死犯難, 不把那些受傷的同學全部救出來誓不甘休。

這時整個運動場上呈現着一片凄涼, 除了那些七横八豎倒在地上呻吟的青年外, 看不見一個學生了。

這一邊走廊下聖母的大衣下聚着一群人, 那邊運動埸的䀆頭處站着那隻巨象和牠的同路人, 他們簡直是不顧喪䀆天良, 手裏還揮動着兇刀呢。

霎時間, 那隻巨型厚皮大動物後腳踏地高高地站起來, 變成一個毛骨悚然的老魔王, 頭上長着長長的角, 手裏揮動了魔網, 把牠的那些同甘共苦的戰友們, 一網擒下, 然後洪鐘似的怒吼了一聲, 爆出一團濃煙, 同時在他們所站的地方裂開了一佪大窟窿, 這些可憐蟲和那個可怕的大妖怪一起陷入裏面去了。

鮑思高神父繼續說:

那時我就回來看聖母, 一方面我要知道在聖母的外衣上繡着的是什麼字。 其中有許多是從聖經裏節錄出來的, 例如:

“ 顯揚我的人將得永生”。

“ 尋到我的人將得生命”

“ 卑小的人到我這裏來吧。 我是罪人的依托,信者的救援, 富於仁愛, 温良和慈悲。”

“ 善守我道路的人是有福的。”


自那隻巨象隱沒了後, 整個運動埸呈現着平靜的氣氛。 童貞聖母經過了一埸聲嘶力竭, 引導學生避居在自己的外衣下後, 用滿懷希望和慰藉給他們說:


”因為你們聽了我的話, 所以逃出了敵人的魔爪。 你們是否見過那些支離破碎的同學肢體!要知道他們的惡運追究不外乎是, 從有傷風化的談吐以及由此而产生的一切不良的行為所致。 你們也看見那些身懷兇刀的同學, 他們企圖使你們脫離我的保護, 致使你們喪亡。 這就是構成那麼多的同學毁滅的原因。 


此外你們也目睹了那些最可痛惜的同學們, 到頭來全部也是被魔王一網擒下打入地獄裏去。 現在請你們安心吧!但千萬別忘記要杜絕那些撒但的同路人, 遠離不良的交談, 尤其是有傷貞操的言語 : 請你們無條件地信賴我吧!我的外衣永遠是你們最安全的避難處。“


說完了這番親切的話語後,那位富有普世威儀的大能者消逝去了, 只有那座走廊壁龕中精緻的聖母, 依然對着我們微笑。


就在此時, 我那逝世的母親瑪加利大再度顯現出來, 聖母的旗幟也再次高舉起來, 跟着就是全體學生的大隊行列, 大家齊聲高唱着:

來恭候, 好聖母, 眾教友, 趨庭前。。。。


現在我要給你們的本年度“ 處世箴言” 就是:

遇有患難時,就要投奔聖母。


最後鮑思高神父給所有在場聽着的學生解釋夢義說:


我在這裏再度提醒聖母的囑咐:

遇有患難時要投奔聖母, 請你們呼求她吧! 我保證聖母定會俯允你的祈求。 此外那些被巨象擊傷了的人們, 就要杜絕不端的交談, 斷絕不良的冋學以及一切遠離聖母的人們。 要改善你們的生活, 或者參加本院青年活動中心節目。你們中有誰想知道在這夢他本人所站的是什麼角色, 請他來我辦事處, 我會給他說明一切。 可是我再給你們重複一次:

那些撒但的同路人, 或是悔過自新, 或是自動退出本校! 記得本年度的處世箴言是:

遇有患難時要投奔聖母!


他自己曾將那些學生的姓名寫在自己的日記簿上。最後鮑思高神父把這張黑名單交與當時的教務主任。 從名單中看來: 受傷的有十三人, 身懷兇刀的有十七人, 替巨象最賣力的有三人。 鮑思高神父並且在人名旁邊還加了些附註, 表示他們己改共善了許多。

Rosary is marvellous

 In his book The Last Exorcist—composed of texts from various blogs, including Gloria TV and Testimonianze di fede—Fr. Amorth reports an entire dialogue he had, in his role as exorcist, with the devil.


Father Amorth: “What are the virtues of the Madonna that make you angriest?”


Demon: “She makes me angry because she is the humblest of all creatures, and because I am the proudest; because she is the purest of all creatures, and I am not; because, of all creatures, she is the most obedient to God, and I am a rebel!”


Father Amorth: “Tell me the fourth characteristic of the Madonna that makes you so afraid of her that you are more afraid when I say the Madonna’s name than when I say the name of Jesus Christ!”


Demon: “I am more afraid when you say the Madonna’s name, because I am more humiliated by being beaten by a simple creature, than by Him…”


Advertising

Father Amorth: “Tell me the fourth characteristic of the Madonna that makes you most angry!”


Demon: “Because she always defeats me, because she was never compromised by any taint of sin!”


“During an exorcism,” Father Amorth remembers, “Satan told me, through the possessed person, ‘Every Hail Mary of the Rosary is a blow to the head for me; if Christians knew the power of the Rosary, it would be the end of me!'”


If Christians knew the power of the Rosary, it would be the end of me!”

We share excerpts from private dialogues between Satan and Fr. Gabriele Amorth, an exorcist in Rome who died recently at the age of 91. Satan and this priest confronted each other on many occasions. Fr. Amorth heard it all—difficult, harsh discussions, and of course full of lies, because the devil’s action is based on lies.


THE DEVIL’S REPLY


Fabio Marchese Ragona, who is the curator of the Stanze Vaticane blog, wrote, “During an exorcism, Fr. Amorth had asked the devil when he would leave the possessed girl’s body. The devil replied that he would remain until December 8. This turned out not to be true, and when Fr. Gabriele reproached him for the lie, the devil said in reply, ‘Haven’t they ever told you I’m a liar?” (Faro di Roma, September 2016).


HOW CAN THE DEVIL BE INTERROGATED?


Fr. Gabriele Amorth confided to the website Luce di Maria (May, 2015) that “exorcists interrogate the devil and get answers out of him.” But if the devil is the prince of lies, what use is it to interrogate him?


“It’s true that we sift through the devil’s answers afterwards; perhaps the Lord forces the devil to tell the truth to demonstrate that Satan has been defeated by Christ, and is also forced to obey Christ’s followers when they act in His name.”


THE WORST HUMILIATION


According to Fr. Amorth, the evil one often “expressly declares that he is being forced to speak, which is something he will do everything to avoid. But, for example, when he is forced to reveal his name, it is a great humiliation for him—a sign of defeat. But woe to the exorcist who gets lost in questions of curiosity (which the Rite expressly forbids) or if he lets himself be guided by the devil in a conversation! Precisely because he is a master of lies, Satan is humiliated when God forces him to tell the truth.”


“I AM STRONGER THAN GOD”


In an interview with Urlo Magazine (2009), Fr. Amorth recounted, “Once, it happened that I asked a demon why, despite his superior intelligence, he preferred to descend into hell; he answered, ‘I rebelled against God; thus, I showed that I am stronger than He is.’ Therefore, for them, rebellion is a sign of victory and superiority.”
