The Real Face Of Jesus Christ ( The Image On The Shroud Of Turin
The image on the Shroud Of Turin is The Cloth Which WAS the Burial Shroud of the Lord Jesus Christ and PROVES that Jesus went through HELL for ALL of US when He was crucified so that We can go to Heaven and live with Him when we DIE as long as we put our faith in Him and we recieve the gift of Salvation which he has provided by paying the debt of ALL of Our SIN.
My friend, eternity is a very, very long time.
If YOU Died TONIGHT, would you go to Heaven?
NOT SURE?
LET ME QUICKLY SHARE WHAT THE BIBLE READS:
1. ROMANS 3:23 – “We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
2. ROMANS 6:23 – “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.”
Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that
God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be
Saved. For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be Saved…….
Eternal Life and your ticket to Heaven is a prayer away,
PRAY THIS PRAYER OUT LOUD TO GOD:
“Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken
your laws and my sins have separated me
from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want
to turn away from my past sinful life
toward You. Please forgive me, and help
me avoid sinning again. I believe that
Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins,
was resurrected from the dead, is alive,
and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to
become the Lord of my life, to rule and
reign in my heart from this day forward.
Please send your Holy Spirit to help me
obey You, and to do Your will for the rest
of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
Did you say the prayer from YOUR heart? Then, congratulations YOUR name has been written in Heaven’s Book of Life and YOU are saved from an eternity in The Lake of Fire (Rev: 20:15)! If YOU died today, Heaven would be your new home!

and loving people is a Christian’s role in this dark
and hurting world. We are commanded to go into

No Condemnation For Those Who Believe in Yeshua (Jesus).
Romans 8 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
Romans 8
God’s Spirit Makes Us His Children
1So those who are believers in Christ Jesus can no longer be condemned. 2The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death. 3It is impossible to do what God’s standards demand because of the weakness our human nature has. But God sent his Son to have a human nature as sinners have and to pay for sin. That way God condemned sin in our corrupt nature. 4Therefore, we, who do not live by our corrupt nature but by our spiritual nature, are able to meet God’s standards.
The ONLY way to become Righteous is to put your faith in Yeshua (Jesus) because of the fact that everyone of us is guilty of breaking God's laws.
1. ROMANS 3:23 – “We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
2. ROMANS 6:23 – “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.”
Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13

The Passion Of The Christ. ( Film Directed By Mel Gibson).
Isaiah 53 (Amplified Bible)
Isaiah 53
1WHO HAS believed (trusted in, relied upon, and clung to) our message [of that which was revealed to us]? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been disclosed?(A)
2For [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender plant, and like a root out of dry ground; He has no form or comeliness [royal, kingly pomp], that we should look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him.
3He was despised and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or have any esteem for Him.
4Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].(B)
5But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
6All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.(C)
7He was oppressed, [yet when] He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
8By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who among them considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living [stricken to His death] for the transgression of my [Isaiah's] people, to whom the stroke was due?
9And they assigned Him a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His death, although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.(D)
10Yet it was the will of the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief and made Him sick. When You and He make His life an offering for sin [and He has risen from the dead, in time to come], He shall see His [spiritual] offspring, He shall prolong His days, and the will and pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.
11He shall see [the fruit] of the travail of His soul and be satisfied; by His knowledge of Himself [which He possesses and imparts to others] shall My [uncompromisingly] righteous One, My Servant, justify many and make many righteous (upright and in right standing with God), for He shall bear their iniquities and their guilt [with the consequences, says the Lord].
12Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great [kings and rulers], and He shall divide the spoil with the mighty, because He poured out His life unto death, and [He let Himself] be regarded as a criminal and be numbered with the transgressors; yet He bore [and took away] the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors (the rebellious).(E)
The Gospel According to St. John Chapter 3:
15In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may [c]not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!
16For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([d]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
17For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.
18He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.]

Noah's Ark Found By Ron Wyatt.
Genesis 6 (Amplified Bible)
Genesis 6
1WHEN MEN began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
2The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of all they desired and chose.
3Then the Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years.
4There were giants on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually.
6And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart.
7So the Lord said, I will destroy, blot out, and wipe away mankind, whom I have created from the face of the ground--not only man, [but] the beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air--for it grieves Me and makes Me regretful that I have made them.
8But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.
9This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his [evil] generation; Noah walked [in habitual fellowship] with God.
10And Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11The earth was depraved and putrid in God's sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power).
12And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction.
13God said to Noah, I intend to make an end of all flesh, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I will [a]destroy them and the land.
14Make yourself an ark of gopher or cypress wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, and compartments) and cover it inside and out with pitch (bitumen).
15And this is the way you are to make it: the length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, its breadth 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits [that is, 450 ft. x 75 ft. x 45 ft.].
16You shall make a roof or [b]window [a place for light] for the ark and finish it to a cubit [at least 18 inches] above--and the [c]door of the ark you shall put in the side of it; and you shall make it with lower, second, and third stories.
17For behold, I, even I, will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy and make putrid all flesh under the heavens in which are the breath and spirit of life; everything that is on the land shall die.
18But I will establish My covenant (promise, pledge) with you, and you shall come into the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.
19And of every living thing of all flesh [found on land], you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
20Of fowls and birds according to their kinds, of beasts according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind--two of every sort shall come in with you, that they may be kept alive.
21Also take with you every sort of food that is eaten, and you shall collect and store it up, and it shall serve as food for you and for them.
22Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.
Genesis 7 (Amplified Bible)
Genesis 7
1AND THE Lord said to Noah, Come with all your household into the ark, for I have seen you to be righteous (upright and in right standing) before Me in this generation.(A)2Of every clean beast you shall receive and take with you seven pairs, the male and his mate, and of beasts that are not clean a pair of each kind, the male and his mate,(B)
3Also of the birds of the air seven pairs, the male and the female, to keep seed [their kind] alive over all the earth or land.
4For in seven days I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living substance and thing that I have made I will destroy, blot out, and wipe away from the face of the earth.
5And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.(C)
6Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth or land.
7And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.(D)
8Of [a]clean animals and of animals that are not clean, and of birds and fowls, and of everything that creeps on the ground,
9There went in two and two with Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10And after the seven days the floodwaters came upon the earth or land.
11In the year 600 of Noah's life, in the seventeenth day of the second month, that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and burst forth, and the windows and floodgates of the heavens were opened.
12And it rained upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
13On the very same day Noah and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark,
14They and every [wild] beast according to its kind, all the livestock according to their kinds, every moving thing that creeps on the land according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, every winged thing of every sort.
15And they went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there were the breath and spirit of life.
16And they that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded [Noah]; and the Lord shut him in and closed [the door] round about him.
17The flood [that is, the downpour of rain] was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased and bore up the ark, and it was lifted [high] above the land.
18And the waters became mighty and increased greatly upon the land, and the ark went [gently floating] upon the surface of the waters.
19And the waters prevailed so exceedingly and were so mighty upon the earth that all the high hills under the whole sky were covered.
20[In fact] the waters became fifteen cubits higher, as the high hills were covered.
21And all flesh ceased to breathe that moved upon the earth--fowls and birds, [tame] animals, [wild] beasts, all swarming and creeping things that swarm and creep upon the land, and all mankind.
22Everything on the dry land in whose nostrils were the breath and spirit of life died.
23God destroyed (blotted out) every living thing that was upon the face of the earth; man and animals and the creeping things and the birds of the heavens were destroyed (blotted out) from the land. Only Noah remained alive, and those who were with him in the ark.(E)
24And the waters prevailed [mightily] upon the earth or land 150 days (five months).

The Abode Of Yahweh, Almighty God (Revealing Heaven) By Kat Kerr
Joel Chapter 2:
28And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
29Even upon the menservants and upon the maidservants in those days will I pour out My Spirit.
30And I will show signs and wonders in the heavens, and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.(G)
32And whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered and saved, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the remnant [of survivors] shall be those whom the Lord calls.(H)

The Real Story Behind The Exorcist movie
'The Exorcist': The Real Story Behind the Movie
Following is the account written by Fr. William Saunders, the account re-told by Michael Brown with some added material and finally an interview by the priest that assisted in the real exorcism. What these accounts include and prove:
-demonic possession resulting from toying with the occult
-classic phenomena associated with real possession:
objects flying across the room,
the bed levitating,
superhuman strength of the possessed
with diabolical profane voices often speaking in languages foreign to the possessed person,
words appearing in blood on the body
coldspots in the room
-the victim displayed great fear and contempt of the holy, in itself proving the power of such:
the Eucharist
the mention of Mary
the rosary
holy water
the mention of ordination of priests and the priests themselves
St. Michael the archangel
-the child was referred from a protestant church and baptized into the Catholic church which has the full power of exorcism
-the final victory over evil climaxed with a loud bang heard throughout the hospital by personnel and
-a vision of St. Michael in a heavenly light witnessed by priests praying in a nearby church
Straight Answers By Fr. William Saunders
HERALD Columnist
I was watching the movie "The Exorcist" with some of my friends. Can the devil really possess someone?
Does the Church really do exorcisms? I heard that the movie is based on a real story. Is that true? - An eighth grade student in Annandale.
Last week, Straight Answers addressed the issues of diabolical possession and exorcism. Concerning both the book and the movie versions, The Exorcist was based on a true account
of diabolical possession. One must remember that the book and especially the movie have certain sensational, "hollywoodesque" elements which are purely fictional.
The true story began in January 1949 and involved a 13-year-old boy named Robbie who lived with his parents and grandmother in Mt. Rainier, Maryland. Robbie was very close to his aunt who visited the family frequently from St. Louis, Missouri. She was a medium and attempted to
communicate with the spirit world. Not only did she spark Robbie's interest in this practice, she also taught him how to use the Ouija board.
Strange phenomena began happening on Jan. 10, 1949. The family heard scratching on the walls; however, exterminators found no evidence of pests of any kind. Objects moved by
themselves: a table would turn over, a chair would move across the room, a vase would fly through the air, and a picture of Christ would shake. At night, Robbie felt scratching in his bed,
and he suffered nightmares frequently.
After the aunt died suddenly on Jan. 26, Robbie continued to use the Ouija board to communicate with her and others. The strange phenomena also continued. Moreover, Robbie's disposition changed - he become unsettled, agitated, and angry.
In February, his parents took Robbie to visit their Lutheran minister, Rev. Schulze. Being interested in parapsychology, he thought perhaps a poltergeist was tormenting the family. Pastor Schulze
allowed Robbie to move into his house for observation for a couple of days. The minister witnessed chairs and other objects moving by themselves. After he saw the bed shake, he moved
the mattress to the floor, where it glided along by itself. Pastor Schulze became suspicious of the presence of evil.
Upon Pastor Schulze's recommendation, the family took Robbie to the Mental Hygiene Clinic of the University of Maryland for testing. After two rounds of testing, nothing abnormal
was discovered. Pastor Schulze then advised the family to contact the local Catholic priest.
Robbie and his parents visited Father Hughes of St. James Catholic Church in Mt. Rainier. While interviewing Robbie, Father Hughes saw the telephone and other objects
in his office move by themselves. Robbie also cast obscene and blasphemous remarks at him in a strange, diabolical voice. The room became eerily frigid. Father Hughes was convinced that Robbie was possessed. After reviewing the facts of the case and the medical evidence, Cardinal O'Boyle
authorized an exorcism.
Robbie was admitted to Georgetown hospital, where Father Hughes began the ritual of exorcism. The boy became violent, with spitting and projectile vomiting. He cast
obscenities and blasphemies at Father Hughes. Although restrained to the bed, Robbie broke loose and wrenched out a metal spring with which he slashed Father Hughes from his left shoulder to wrist. The wound required over 100 stitches to close it. Robbie seemed calm after this attack, not remembering the ordeal. He was then released and sent home.
The strange phenomena soon resumed at their home. One night, when Robbie was changing for bed, he screamed. A bloody word had been scratched on his chest, Louis. His mother asked if this meant, "St. Louis," and another bloody word appeared, yes.
Almost immediately, the family journeyed to visit their cousin in St. Louis, Missouri. The same strange phenomena began to happen. The cousin, a student at St. Louis University, talked
with one of her priest professors, Father Bishop, S.J., about the situation. Father Bishop then contacted one of his close friends, Father Bowdern, S.J., pastor of St. Francis Xavier Church.
The two priests and a young Jesuit scholastic went to interview Robbie on March 9, 1949. They noticed bloody zig-zig scratches on his chest. They heard scraping sounds. They saw a large
bookcase move and turn around by itself and a stool move across the floor. Robbie's bed would shake as he lay on it.
He hurled obscenities and blasphemies at them. The priests knew they were confronting evil.
They petitioned Cardinal Ritter for permission to perform an exorcism. After reviewing all of the evidence including medical and psychiatric exams, he granted permission on March 16.
As the priests began the Rite of Exorcism, Robbie became violent.
He made howling and growling noises. The bed shook up and down. On his chest appeared bloody scratches with the words hell and devil, and even an image of Satan. Robbie spit at the
priests as he hurled obscenities and blasphemies, with intermittent fiendish laughter.
For his own safety and for the family's welfare, Robbie was then transferred to the Alexian Brothers Hospital and placed in the psychiatric ward. Father Bowdern, continued to
perform the exorcism. With the family's consent, Robbie was baptized a Catholic. When Father Bowdern tried to give him First Holy Communion, Robbie five times spit out the
Sacred Host; they then paused to say the Rosary, and Robbie finally received the Holy Eucharist.
On April 18, Easter Monday, the exorcism came to a climax.
As Father Bowdern continued the ritual, the demon recognized the presence of St. Michael the Archangel, and was expelled from Robbie. A sound like a gunshot was heard throughout
the hospital. After this whole ordeal, Robbie remembered nothing of the diabolical phenomena, except the vision of St. Michael. Certainly, this story is frightening, but is
nevertheless true.
So to answer the reader's original questions, yes, the devil really can possess someone, and yes, the Church really does exorcisms. Be on guard! Stay away from anything dealing with the occult, including Ouija boards. Use the weapons of the holy arsenal that protect us from evil: pray, attend Mass,
receive Holy Communion, live by the commandments and the teachings of the Church, and confess sins frequently. If we rely on this holy arsenal for God's graces, we have no
need to fear: the love of God will always triumph over evil.
Fr. Saunders is dean of the Notre Dame Graduate School of Christendom College and pastor of Queen of Apostles Parish, both in Alexandria
From www.spiritdaily.com Michael Brown:
Although the famous movie and the popular media didn't describe it, the famous case
behind The Exorcist was finally won when a statue of the Archangel Michael
was placed next to the bed of the possessed boy (in real life it was a
male named Rob) and pleas were made for the great angel to take the case before
the throne of God.
While in the movie evil seems to win, terrorizing an exorcist, in real life
the priests were plenty awed but stuck it out and with the intervention of Michael
the great nemesis of Satan (Revelation 12:7) -- freed the boy
from the horrid grip of full-blown satanic possession.
This was not a standard demonic infestation.
It was the highest order of possession and was traced back to the boy's aunt, a
spiritualist who had introduced him to the Ouija board, the "game" in
which people try to communicate with the dead (but in actuality are often
talking to demons.)
Whatever was at the root, it began during the winter of 1949 in a Washington, D.C.
suburb called Cottage City when strange noises, including a scratching in the
wall, joined a shaking of the wall
behind a picture of Jesus. Soon the boy's bed was shaking and there were
other strange furniture movements, eerie cold spots, and the inexplicable tossing
about of objects. At the first the boy's family took the matter to a minister at St. Stephen's
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Washington, but when the minister sensed an actual
diabolical presence he recommended that the parents seek help in the Catholic Church,
which had formal procedures for exorcism.
After initial attempts at delivering the boy at Georgetown University Hospital
(where, indeed, the case seemed too much for a young priest), the matter shifted
to St. Louis, where a priest named William S. Bowdern from St. Francis Xavier Church headed a team that watched aghast as bloody red marks materialized on the boy -- marks that spelled words like "hell"
and a vial of holy water flew and hit a dresser.
At one point a crucifix with relics moved from under the boy's pillow to the
foot of the bed and a relic of Saint Margaret Mary, the mystic who saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus, vanished.
There was spitting. There was "fiendish" laughter. There was a guttural voice that
spoke with great hate from the beleaguered 13-year-old boy.
After weeks attempting to free him, the priests decided to baptize the boy, and
on the way Rob struggled madly to take control of the steering wheel and crash the car.
It was a clear indication of how the sacraments were hated by forces of evil.
Finally Rob was baptized, but the next day, when the priests tried to give him holy
Communion, the boy refused it, spitting it out for two hours -- until a Rosary was said.
The exorcism took six weeks to accomplish, and the climax came at the Alexian Brothers
Hospital in St. Louis. There on Holy Thursday a small statue of Michael was placed on a bed
stand next to the boy, and the following Monday -- Easter Monday -- as the priest
prayed for the angel's intervention - as prayer intensified, with near desperation
the boy's voice suddenly changed into a clear, commanding, and dignified voice
from heaven. "Satan, I am St. Michael," said the voice that now came from the boy, "and I command you Satan to the leave the body in the name of Dominus (the Lord).
Now. Now. Now!"
At that precise moment what sounded like a loud gunshot was heard throughout the
hospital. The boy sat up, had a vision of the archangel, and announced with near
befuddlement but certainly terrific relief that the evil force was "gone."
At the same time, priests at St. Francis Xavier Church saw a light illuminate the
sanctuary from the dome high over the altar and in the light a vision of Michael.
(This entire series of events is documented by the video, In the Grip of Evil, that we are
making available (at www.spiritdaily.com) although we always recommend prayer, Bible reading, and
for Catholics the use of holy water before reviewing any material that involves evil spirits).
An interview with the priest involved in the case behind The Exorcist
We tracked down Father Walter H. Halloran, a Jesuit who assisted in the famous excorcism that
served as the model for the blockbuster movie, The Exorcist. Now living in San Diego, where he is
assistant pastor at St. Martin of Tours Church, Father Halloran still vividly remembers the case,
which took place in 1949 and involved a young boy named Rob (not a girl) from the Washington-
Baltimore area, with the final exorcism conducted in St. Louis, where the boy had relatives. Father Halloran assisted the main exorcist, Father William S. Bowdern of St. Francis Xavier Church in St. Louis. Father Halloran says the boy was 11. Others say 13. But everyone agrees
on one thing: it was hair-raising. Here's our short talk:
SD: Father, how many times were you present in the exorcism sessions?
Fr. Halloran: I suppose every night for three weeks.
SD: Did you have any insight into the origin of the problem?
Fr. H: In a way he was a victim to the frame of mind of the aunt (who was into spiritualism).
SD: What happened at the end? We're told the Archangel Michael manifested.
Fr. H: I was taken off five days before the conclusion, but from what I understand there was a very loud sound, a boom -- sort of like a sonic boom -- and then the boy opened his eyes and said St. Michael came and that it was over. At the same time this took place there were about six or seven priests over in the college church saying their office and there was a huge boom over there and the whole church was completely lit up. Father Bowdern, who was doing the exorcism, and the boy were at the
rectory. There was a very, very bright light that lit up the whole church.
SD: What was the most striking physical phenomena that you witnessed yourself during the exorcisms?
Fr. H: I think the markings on the boy's body. I didn't think there was any way they could have
been self-induced, the marks, the scratches, the words, the numbers and that sort of thing that appeared
in blood red]. When the evil spirit took over the child, there seemed to be nothing he could do about
it. There were a couple of times when something very dangerous might have happened and he had
no recollection whatsoever of anything that took place when he was in one of these sieges. And that
affected me, the power that someone or something has over someone.
SD: Did you see anything fly across the room or furniture move?
Fr. H: Yeah. The first night I was there I was kneeling at the bed on which the boy was lying and the bed
started going up and down and then I just about got hit with a holy water bottle that was sitting on the
dresser and came flying across the room and just
missed me by an inch or two.
SD: How high was the bed going?
Fr. H: Oh, I'd say eight inches.
SD: Was there any particular prayer that the evil spirit seemed to react to the most?
Fr. H: Yes. It was more elements or words or phrases in each prayer. Whenever the Blessed Mother's name
would be invoked or mentioned, the child would get very, very agitated and when Our Lord's name -
Christ, Our Lord, or Jesus --when that was said, and the same thing with Michael the Archangel. And then
he'd become very, very agitated with holy water. With some of the prayers you sprinkle the person
with holy water and he'd become wild, physically wild, flying around and that sort of thing.
SD: Flailing around with his hands, that sort of thing?
Fr. H: Yeah.
SD: Did you see the 'Exorcist' movie?
Fr. H: I saw it right after it came out. I went with Father Bowdern and I thought it was a typical
Hollywood, glitzy thing, real bizarre, trying to bring people to be fearful or to scream. I was
disappointed with it. I thought it was a mess. And Father Bowdern did too. He gave sort of a running
negative commentary throughout the whole movie. I thought the two of us were going to be thrown out
of the theatre.
SD: So there was no neck craning around?
Fr. H: No. It was just ridiculous, and the gross one where the little girl is ing with a
crucifix. It just didn't happen, that's all, and the huge amount of green vomit: Nonsense.
SD: There was some spitting, though, wasn't there?
Fr. H: Yeah, there was spitting, and when I think back on it, it amazes me, his accuracy. He'd spit
right in your eye from about eight feet away.
SD: I understand at one point you saved the boy's life. He was ready to go over a cliff, wasn't he?
Fr. H: Yeah. I took him out to the retreat house in St. Louis, a very pretty place, to get out of the
hospital and get some fresh air, and he didn't know anything about the Stations of the Cross and so I
asked if he wanted to learn and he's says, oh sure. He was an affable little kid. Not many 11-year-old
would say they were interested in finding out about the Stations of the Cross, but he was. And I explained
what each one signified and we got to the 12th station and I said, this commemorates Christ dying on the
cross and with that he took off and ran toward the edge of a bluff that dropped down about 150, 200 feet
down to the tracks and I hollered at him and nothing happened so I ran and for once in my life I made a
decent tackle.
SD: Did you have any manifestation afterward, or was that the end of it? Did you come under demonic
attack afterwards?
Fr. H: No, I never did.
SD: Did you fast during that whole thing?
Fr. H: On and off I did.
SD: Bread and water?
Fr. H: No, things like just taking a cup of coffee
and a piece of toast and skipping a meal and at that time we were still practicing abstinenence during Lent.
SD: Did Father Bowdern fast?
Fr. H: He did quite a bit, and sometimes he would go off because he was getting worn out the
exorcism lasted six weeks].
SD: How old were you?
Fr. H: About 28.
SD: Anything else that sticks out in your mind when you think back about Rob?
Fr. H: Well, when they baptized him -- it was a conditional baptism, because he had been baptized
a Lutheran as a baby -- when they went through the ceremony again, on the way down to the church
from his uncle's home, he kept grabbing the steering wheel of the car. He had the car up on the boulevard
and some close calls of hitting or being hit by other cars. Then when they were giving him first Holy
Communion, and I was present for this, he really fought that, he was flailing around and he'd open his
mouth and then as soon as Father Bowdern came close with a Host, he'd swing at him. And I was supposed to be holding him all this time. But he'd relax and I'd relax a little bit and then he'd get an arm free and the voice would keep yelling, "No! He will not receive" or -- and his eyes were closed! -- he'd take a swing at Father Bowdern in the groin and say, "How's that for a nutcracker?" And then it must have been 15 or 20 minutes of this carrying on and he relaxed and received Holy Communion.
SD: Did you fear for your life.
Fr. H: No, not really. But I wondered why me, what purpose I was there for. There was one time he asked
us to stop and took his pajama top off and he was covered with these marks, scratches, and he said they hurt.
It was Holy Thursday and I was telling him about Holy Thursday and he started writhing around in pain and he said, look, I can't stand this. He seemed more affected; when I said things like "the Blessed Sacrament" or mentioned the ordination of priests and things like that.
SD: What a confirmation of the power of our faith, and the powers that struggle with each other on this earth.
Fr. H: Yes. That's what affected me most, and I guess that's why I was so disappointed with the movies.
SD: Do you think it was Satan or a demon?
Fr. H: During the rite when it was asked its name the only answer I can remember that was given was "legion," which reminds us of the swineherd running into the lake.
The boy eventually married and settled back on the East Coast after attending Loyola High School in Baltimore. Father Bowdern died more than thirty years after the exorcism, in 1983. Meanwhile the movie, re-released last fall, became one of the most famous of all time.
Father Halloran is featured in the video In the Grip of Evil, an excellent docu-drama and one that, like anything dealing with evil, should be preceded with prayer, Bible reading, and holy water.
The Gospel According to St. Matthew Chapter 12 King James Version Verse 22-33:
22Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Robbie was admitted to Georgetown hospital, where Father Hughes began the ritual of exorcism. The boy became violent, with spitting and projectile vomiting. He cast
obscenities and blasphemies at Father Hughes. Although restrained to the bed, Robbie broke loose and wrenched out a metal spring with which he slashed Father Hughes from his left shoulder to wrist. The wound required over 100 stitches to close it. Robbie seemed calm after this attack, not remembering the ordeal. He was then released and sent home.
The strange phenomena soon resumed at their home. One night, when Robbie was changing for bed, he screamed. A bloody word had been scratched on his chest, Louis. His mother asked if this meant, "St. Louis," and another bloody word appeared, yes.
Almost immediately, the family journeyed to visit their cousin in St. Louis, Missouri. The same strange phenomena began to happen. The cousin, a student at St. Louis University, talked
with one of her priest professors, Father Bishop, S.J., about the situation. Father Bishop then contacted one of his close friends, Father Bowdern, S.J., pastor of St. Francis Xavier Church.
The two priests and a young Jesuit scholastic went to interview Robbie on March 9, 1949. They noticed bloody zig-zig scratches on his chest. They heard scraping sounds. They saw a large
bookcase move and turn around by itself and a stool move across the floor. Robbie's bed would shake as he lay on it.
He hurled obscenities and blasphemies at them. The priests knew they were confronting evil.
They petitioned Cardinal Ritter for permission to perform an exorcism. After reviewing all of the evidence including medical and psychiatric exams, he granted permission on March 16.
As the priests began the Rite of Exorcism, Robbie became violent.
He made howling and growling noises. The bed shook up and down. On his chest appeared bloody scratches with the words hell and devil, and even an image of Satan. Robbie spit at the
priests as he hurled obscenities and blasphemies, with intermittent fiendish laughter.
For his own safety and for the family's welfare, Robbie was then transferred to the Alexian Brothers Hospital and placed in the psychiatric ward. Father Bowdern, continued to
perform the exorcism. With the family's consent, Robbie was baptized a Catholic. When Father Bowdern tried to give him First Holy Communion, Robbie five times spit out the
Sacred Host; they then paused to say the Rosary, and Robbie finally received the Holy Eucharist.
On April 18, Easter Monday, the exorcism came to a climax.
As Father Bowdern continued the ritual, the demon recognized the presence of St. Michael the Archangel, and was expelled from Robbie. A sound like a gunshot was heard throughout
the hospital. After this whole ordeal, Robbie remembered nothing of the diabolical phenomena, except the vision of St. Michael. Certainly, this story is frightening, but is
nevertheless true.
So to answer the reader's original questions, yes, the devil really can possess someone, and yes, the Church really does exorcisms. Be on guard! Stay away from anything dealing with the occult, including Ouija boards. Use the weapons of the holy arsenal that protect us from evil: pray, attend Mass,
receive Holy Communion, live by the commandments and the teachings of the Church, and confess sins frequently. If we rely on this holy arsenal for God's graces, we have no
need to fear: the love of God will always triumph over evil.

From www.spiritdaily.com Michael Brown:
Although the famous movie and the popular media didn't describe it, the famous case
behind The Exorcist was finally won when a statue of the Archangel Michael
was placed next to the bed of the possessed boy (in real life it was a
male named Rob) and pleas were made for the great angel to take the case before
the throne of God.
While in the movie evil seems to win, terrorizing an exorcist, in real life
the priests were plenty awed but stuck it out and with the intervention of Michael
the great nemesis of Satan (Revelation 12:7) -- freed the boy
from the horrid grip of full-blown satanic possession.
This was not a standard demonic infestation.
It was the highest order of possession and was traced back to the boy's aunt, a
spiritualist who had introduced him to the Ouija board, the "game" in
which people try to communicate with the dead (but in actuality are often
talking to demons.)
Whatever was at the root, it began during the winter of 1949 in a Washington, D.C.
suburb called Cottage City when strange noises, including a scratching in the
wall, joined a shaking of the wall
behind a picture of Jesus. Soon the boy's bed was shaking and there were
other strange furniture movements, eerie cold spots, and the inexplicable tossing
about of objects. At the first the boy's family took the matter to a minister at St. Stephen's
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Washington, but when the minister sensed an actual
diabolical presence he recommended that the parents seek help in the Catholic Church,
which had formal procedures for exorcism.
After initial attempts at delivering the boy at Georgetown University Hospital
(where, indeed, the case seemed too much for a young priest), the matter shifted
to St. Louis, where a priest named William S. Bowdern from St. Francis Xavier Church headed a team that watched aghast as bloody red marks materialized on the boy -- marks that spelled words like "hell"
and a vial of holy water flew and hit a dresser.
At one point a crucifix with relics moved from under the boy's pillow to the
foot of the bed and a relic of Saint Margaret Mary, the mystic who saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus, vanished.
There was spitting. There was "fiendish" laughter. There was a guttural voice that
spoke with great hate from the beleaguered 13-year-old boy.
After weeks attempting to free him, the priests decided to baptize the boy, and
on the way Rob struggled madly to take control of the steering wheel and crash the car.
It was a clear indication of how the sacraments were hated by forces of evil.
Finally Rob was baptized, but the next day, when the priests tried to give him holy
Communion, the boy refused it, spitting it out for two hours -- until a Rosary was said.
The exorcism took six weeks to accomplish, and the climax came at the Alexian Brothers
Hospital in St. Louis. There on Holy Thursday a small statue of Michael was placed on a bed
stand next to the boy, and the following Monday -- Easter Monday -- as the priest
prayed for the angel's intervention - as prayer intensified, with near desperation
the boy's voice suddenly changed into a clear, commanding, and dignified voice
from heaven. "Satan, I am St. Michael," said the voice that now came from the boy, "and I command you Satan to the leave the body in the name of Dominus (the Lord).
Now. Now. Now!"
At that precise moment what sounded like a loud gunshot was heard throughout the
hospital. The boy sat up, had a vision of the archangel, and announced with near
befuddlement but certainly terrific relief that the evil force was "gone."
At the same time, priests at St. Francis Xavier Church saw a light illuminate the
sanctuary from the dome high over the altar and in the light a vision of Michael.
(This entire series of events is documented by the video, In the Grip of Evil, that we are
making available (at www.spiritdaily.com) although we always recommend prayer, Bible reading, and
for Catholics the use of holy water before reviewing any material that involves evil spirits).
An interview with the priest involved in the case behind The Exorcist
We tracked down Father Walter H. Halloran, a Jesuit who assisted in the famous excorcism that
served as the model for the blockbuster movie, The Exorcist. Now living in San Diego, where he is
assistant pastor at St. Martin of Tours Church, Father Halloran still vividly remembers the case,
which took place in 1949 and involved a young boy named Rob (not a girl) from the Washington-
Baltimore area, with the final exorcism conducted in St. Louis, where the boy had relatives. Father Halloran assisted the main exorcist, Father William S. Bowdern of St. Francis Xavier Church in St. Louis. Father Halloran says the boy was 11. Others say 13. But everyone agrees
on one thing: it was hair-raising. Here's our short talk:
SD: Father, how many times were you present in the exorcism sessions?
Fr. Halloran: I suppose every night for three weeks.
SD: Did you have any insight into the origin of the problem?
Fr. H: In a way he was a victim to the frame of mind of the aunt (who was into spiritualism).
SD: What happened at the end? We're told the Archangel Michael manifested.
Fr. H: I was taken off five days before the conclusion, but from what I understand there was a very loud sound, a boom -- sort of like a sonic boom -- and then the boy opened his eyes and said St. Michael came and that it was over. At the same time this took place there were about six or seven priests over in the college church saying their office and there was a huge boom over there and the whole church was completely lit up. Father Bowdern, who was doing the exorcism, and the boy were at the
rectory. There was a very, very bright light that lit up the whole church.
SD: What was the most striking physical phenomena that you witnessed yourself during the exorcisms?
Fr. H: I think the markings on the boy's body. I didn't think there was any way they could have
been self-induced, the marks, the scratches, the words, the numbers and that sort of thing that appeared
in blood red]. When the evil spirit took over the child, there seemed to be nothing he could do about
it. There were a couple of times when something very dangerous might have happened and he had
no recollection whatsoever of anything that took place when he was in one of these sieges. And that
affected me, the power that someone or something has over someone.
SD: Did you see anything fly across the room or furniture move?
Fr. H: Yeah. The first night I was there I was kneeling at the bed on which the boy was lying and the bed
started going up and down and then I just about got hit with a holy water bottle that was sitting on the
dresser and came flying across the room and just
missed me by an inch or two.
SD: How high was the bed going?
Fr. H: Oh, I'd say eight inches.
SD: Was there any particular prayer that the evil spirit seemed to react to the most?
Fr. H: Yes. It was more elements or words or phrases in each prayer. Whenever the Blessed Mother's name
would be invoked or mentioned, the child would get very, very agitated and when Our Lord's name -
Christ, Our Lord, or Jesus --when that was said, and the same thing with Michael the Archangel. And then
he'd become very, very agitated with holy water. With some of the prayers you sprinkle the person
with holy water and he'd become wild, physically wild, flying around and that sort of thing.
SD: Flailing around with his hands, that sort of thing?
Fr. H: Yeah.
SD: Did you see the 'Exorcist' movie?
Fr. H: I saw it right after it came out. I went with Father Bowdern and I thought it was a typical
Hollywood, glitzy thing, real bizarre, trying to bring people to be fearful or to scream. I was
disappointed with it. I thought it was a mess. And Father Bowdern did too. He gave sort of a running
negative commentary throughout the whole movie. I thought the two of us were going to be thrown out
of the theatre.
SD: So there was no neck craning around?
Fr. H: No. It was just ridiculous, and the gross one where the little girl is ing with a
crucifix. It just didn't happen, that's all, and the huge amount of green vomit: Nonsense.
SD: There was some spitting, though, wasn't there?
Fr. H: Yeah, there was spitting, and when I think back on it, it amazes me, his accuracy. He'd spit
right in your eye from about eight feet away.
SD: I understand at one point you saved the boy's life. He was ready to go over a cliff, wasn't he?
Fr. H: Yeah. I took him out to the retreat house in St. Louis, a very pretty place, to get out of the
hospital and get some fresh air, and he didn't know anything about the Stations of the Cross and so I
asked if he wanted to learn and he's says, oh sure. He was an affable little kid. Not many 11-year-old
would say they were interested in finding out about the Stations of the Cross, but he was. And I explained
what each one signified and we got to the 12th station and I said, this commemorates Christ dying on the
cross and with that he took off and ran toward the edge of a bluff that dropped down about 150, 200 feet
down to the tracks and I hollered at him and nothing happened so I ran and for once in my life I made a
decent tackle.
SD: Did you have any manifestation afterward, or was that the end of it? Did you come under demonic
attack afterwards?
Fr. H: No, I never did.
SD: Did you fast during that whole thing?
Fr. H: On and off I did.
SD: Bread and water?
Fr. H: No, things like just taking a cup of coffee
and a piece of toast and skipping a meal and at that time we were still practicing abstinenence during Lent.
SD: Did Father Bowdern fast?
Fr. H: He did quite a bit, and sometimes he would go off because he was getting worn out the
exorcism lasted six weeks].
SD: How old were you?
Fr. H: About 28.
SD: Anything else that sticks out in your mind when you think back about Rob?
Fr. H: Well, when they baptized him -- it was a conditional baptism, because he had been baptized
a Lutheran as a baby -- when they went through the ceremony again, on the way down to the church
from his uncle's home, he kept grabbing the steering wheel of the car. He had the car up on the boulevard
and some close calls of hitting or being hit by other cars. Then when they were giving him first Holy
Communion, and I was present for this, he really fought that, he was flailing around and he'd open his
mouth and then as soon as Father Bowdern came close with a Host, he'd swing at him. And I was supposed to be holding him all this time. But he'd relax and I'd relax a little bit and then he'd get an arm free and the voice would keep yelling, "No! He will not receive" or -- and his eyes were closed! -- he'd take a swing at Father Bowdern in the groin and say, "How's that for a nutcracker?" And then it must have been 15 or 20 minutes of this carrying on and he relaxed and received Holy Communion.
SD: Did you fear for your life.
Fr. H: No, not really. But I wondered why me, what purpose I was there for. There was one time he asked
us to stop and took his pajama top off and he was covered with these marks, scratches, and he said they hurt.
It was Holy Thursday and I was telling him about Holy Thursday and he started writhing around in pain and he said, look, I can't stand this. He seemed more affected; when I said things like "the Blessed Sacrament" or mentioned the ordination of priests and things like that.
SD: What a confirmation of the power of our faith, and the powers that struggle with each other on this earth.
Fr. H: Yes. That's what affected me most, and I guess that's why I was so disappointed with the movies.
SD: Do you think it was Satan or a demon?
Fr. H: During the rite when it was asked its name the only answer I can remember that was given was "legion," which reminds us of the swineherd running into the lake.
The boy eventually married and settled back on the East Coast after attending Loyola High School in Baltimore. Father Bowdern died more than thirty years after the exorcism, in 1983. Meanwhile the movie, re-released last fall, became one of the most famous of all time.
Father Halloran is featured in the video In the Grip of Evil, an excellent docu-drama and one that, like anything dealing with evil, should be preceded with prayer, Bible reading, and holy water.
The Gospel According to St. Matthew Chapter 12 King James Version Verse 22-33:
22Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
