Catechesis Corner House Blessing and Candlemas House Blessing Throughout the liturgical year, the Catholic Church gives us traditions, feasts and celebrations to encourage us to live our faith with greater understanding of God and His love for us. Some of these traditions or feasts have been lost with generations gone by – while others are misunderstood. Let’s start with a New Year’s tradition, the house blessing. Have you ever seen doorways with chalk-written letters and numbers at the top? Have you wondered what it is and why it’s up there? The blessing of your doorways is a beautiful practice of inviting God into your home; dedicating the year to Him, while asking for blessings on all who enter - those who live, visit and work there. The inscription is the year, combined with crosses and the letters C, M, and B, which carry a double meaning - the names of the three Kings who visited Jesus in His first home: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar and an abbreviation of the Latin phrase, Christus mansionem benedicat, which means “May Christ bless the house”. It looks like this: 20+C+M+B+21. To bless your home, take a packet with the blessed chalk and follow the directions. Candlemas Forty days after Jesus’ birth, on February 2nd, we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the revelation of Jesus as the “Light of the World”. In accord with Jewish tradition, Joseph and Mary present Jesus in the Temple where they meet Simeon and Anna, who tell us of the great significance of this event. Simeon, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, knew he would not die without seeing the Messiah. Recognizing Jesus, Simeon took Him in his arms and said, “Master, now You are dismissing Your servant in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to Your people Israel.” Luke 2:29-32 As Simeon blessed them, he revealed that suffering will precede the victory of the Light. He said to our Blessed Mother, “This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.” Luke 2:34-35 These blessed candles symbolize the revelation of Jesus, the “Light of the World,” to the people.

  • Exorcism and Demonic Possession
    Exorcism and Demonic Possession Copyright 2021 Shane Rogers Entertainment Midnight Facts for Insomniacs Podcast Transcript (Note: transcript consists of episode outline) The concept of demonic possession is as old as recorded history. Babylonian priests in ancient Mesopotamia would perform exorcisms by tossing wax figurines of demons into a fire. But obviously the modern western concept of demonic possession and exorcism is rooted in Christianity. The Christian version of possession is characterized by raving and speaking in tongues, displaying superhuman strength, spouting profanity and tossing out obscene hand gestures and exhibiting “blasphemous rage.” So, Flakka. Or any American dive bar on a Friday night. Or, College. So what does the Bible say about demonic possession? I’m always curious about what the actual text says because I’ve never read the entire the Bible, I’m not much of a Bible reader, I’m more of a Bible peruser, but what I do know is that many of the elements we associate with religious mythology aren’t explicitly stated in the text, they’re either in related volumes like the book of Enoch, or have been fully created whole cloth through fanfiction and a multi-generational game of religious telephone. There will be one line of the Bible that mentions a morning star and a few centuries later half of us believe in a guy with horns and cloven feet. But in this case, well, demonic possession is all over the Bible. It’s pretty explicit. Like it’s not on every fifth page or something, but there’s no denying that it’s a major part of the New Testament in particular.

  • 1 Year B 4Th Sun OT (2021) HOMILY: by Fr. Jim Chern It Was A
    Year B 4th Sun OT (2021) HOMILY: by Fr. Jim Chern It was a couple of years ago that the Newman Center at Montclair State University welcomed Father Vincent Lampert as a guest lecturer. Here was a parish priest from Indianapolis who for the most part is very unknown, coming to a public, state run university campus. And he filled the Conference Center (over 600 students) for the second time (he was here in 2010 as well with similar crowds) on a Wednesday Night and had people on the edges of their seats for over 2 and a half hours. This was no ordinary parish priest. Father Lampert is an official exorcist of the Roman Catholic Church who was trained by the Vatican at his Bishop’s request to learn how to perform this dramatic, often depicted but very rarely understood ritual of the Church. When we announced that Father Lampert was coming and what the topic was, it’s true, we had fun with the advertising and wanted it to be a bit provocative. Coming a few weeks prior to Halloween, there was already that imaginary “spooky sense” in the atmosphere with decorations on campus of spider webs, tomb stones, witches and black cats. We billed it as “An Evening with an Exorcist” – and before we knew it, there was quite a stir about it both on and off the campus. For the most part it seemed people came out of curiosity. And I don’t know if I could pit a guess on what percentages this falls to, but I would say a majority came in thinking “This isn’t really real, right? We don’t actually believe the devil possesses people — That there’s evil operating in the world?” – We’re too sophisticated to believe such things (especially in this academic environment).

  • How a Scientist Learned to Work with Exorcists
    PostEverything As a psychiatrist, I diagnose mental illness. Also, I help spot demonic possession. How a scientist learned to work with exorcists. By Richard Gallagher July 1 Richard Gallagher is a board-certified psychiatrist and a professor of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College. He is at work on a book about demonic possession in the United States. In the late 1980s, I was introduced to a self-styled Satanic high priestess. She called herself a witch and dressed the part, with flowing dark clothes and black eye shadow around to her temples. In our many discussions, she acknowledged worshipping Satan as his “queen.” I’m a man of science and a lover of history; after studying the classics at Princeton, I trained in psychiatry at Yale and in psychoanalysis at Columbia. That background is why a Catholic priest had asked my professional opinion, which I offered pro bono, about whether this woman was suffering from a mental disorder. This was at the height of the national panic about Satanism. (In a case that helped induce the hysteria, Virginia McMartin and others had recently been charged with alleged Satanic ritual abuse at a Los Angeles preschool; the charges were later dropped.) So I was inclined to skepticism. But my subject’s behavior exceeded what I could explain with my training. She could tell some people their secret weaknesses, such as undue pride. She knew how individuals she’d never known had died, including my mother and her fatal case of ovarian cancer. Six people later vouched to me that, during her exorcisms, they heard her speaking multiple languages, including Latin, completely unfamiliar to her outside of her trances.

  • The Demonic Possession of Anneliese Michel Part One - Now in the Suck Pile out Back by the Suck Shed
    Cold Open: In the last days of Anneliese Michel’s life, she looked more dead than alive. Emaciated. Face sunken in. Sharp cheekbones protruding from grey, pallid skin. Teeth chipped from recently biting a hole in a wall. Extremely dark, black circles around once beautiful and hopeful eyes. This previously attractive young German college student was only 23 years old. And now she looked closer to 60. She should have been graduating, joining the workforce, dating, and enjoying her youth. She should have been figuring out what she was going to do with a long and happy life. Instead, she’d been undergoing multiple exorcism rituals a week for nearly a full year. She was bedridden and weighed less than 70 pounds - and it’s not like she was 3 feet tall. I actually couldn’t find a single reference to exactly how tall she was, but, based on numerous photos, I’d have to say 5’4” or 5’5”. And based on photos of Anneliese when she was healthy, I’d put her weight at around a very fit 110 pounds, maybe even 115 or 120. But now, in the last days of her life, she was a skeleton with rice-paper thin skin. She looked like a demon herself. She looked frightened. Ethereal. She looked like the become the personification of torment itself. She’d lost 40 to 50 pounds off of an already thin frame. That’s what happens when you skip the food pyramid and instead exist on a diet of spiders, flies, and your own urine, licked up off the floor.
