Confession
  1. At all costs, keep your human away from the confessional. Appeal to his pride (always my favorite !) and make him think that confession is only for kids, but not for a sophisticated adult like him or her. Don’t let them realize that while they are still alive, they can tap into HIS mercy through this sacrament, but after they drop dead, they have to face HIS justice, which includes us as the torturers a lot of the time. After he confesses, he is in what is known as “the state of grace”, if he has been sincere, humble, and honest with the priest. We know that venial sins are analogous to him pouring manure on his soul, and mortal sins are like him killing his soul, which is what we always want. After confession, he is clean as a whistle, since his guilt is removed. We still get to molest him because of the punishment due his sins, but if he then discovers indulgences, it’s all over for us. If he gets a plenary indulgence, then all of the punishment due his forgiven sins is no longer available to us. If he gets a partial indulgence, then we still get to molest him, but not as much, so keep his mind away from this two - tiered soul-cleansing mechanism of HIM above. For the humans, going to confession is like removing a stepped-on rusty nail from his foot. Getting the indulgence is like healing the foot wound left behind, as well as the infection to the rest of his body caused by the rust on the nail. And remember, the dirtier his soul caused by his own sins, the sooner we get him down here, and the better he tastes to us. And that is our two-tiered plan for him!

Thanks for sharing this. It reminds me of the Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis! Reading this has made me realise that it is time for me to go to Confession!

Malleus:

That could likewise apply to all the Sacraments. The Devil doesnt want us to do anything Catholic. He would like all of us to believe he doesnt exist.

You know, it’s interesting. I can’t count the number of times I’ve just not wanted to go to mass because I was tired or busy with something else. Several times I’d wanted to go watch TV rather than go to Adoration. The more I grow spiritually, the more I realize it’s Satan whispering these things in my ear in an effort to lead me away from God. It’s a struggle I believe all Christians face. I’ve come to realize that the more prayerful and devout I become, the more the Devil reacts. The more Satan pushes me away from God, the harder I work to stay near Him. This is when I know I’m on the right path.
 
Confession is the most powerful sacrament to rid yourself of the devil, because you have a repentant heart. 🙂

Ask any former satanist.

This is so true! Satan is always after the children who are seeking “Truth”. Just a constant battle! Can’t wait for the day I do not have to hear his ugly voice anymore!
 
Very prescient. The Missals I use on Sundays - both for the EF and the OF - are of the vein that Confession is a very powerful sacrament. The EF missal even goes so far as to state (paraphrasing) “Remember, O Christian, that this duty is one of the most important you will ever carry out.”
