Greetings,
I need urgent help. Through a miracle, I had an amazing conversion experience on Easter which led me to a much deeper relationship with Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since then, I have had several experiences which, since seeking spiritual discernment, now recognize as spiritual attacks from satan.
Let me give a few lines of background. In the past, I was very involved in both Hindu spirituality (devoted to a goddess of destruction, Kali) and as a Wiccan priestess working with a coven for several years. Althouigh I occasionally “tried” Catholicism, it wasn’t until Easter that I seriously dedicated myself to Christ and began seeking a relationship with God in earnest.
Last night, I was attacked so severely, my dog actually saw it. I am so frightened, I am about to give in and reject Christ just to prevent these attacks. I can’t deal with this, it’s way more intense than anything I ever experienced while practicing witchcraft.
Please can someone pray for me? I have prayers that I will be praying tonight and I have my daughter and best friend praying. It would be wonderful if I could have a few more prayer warriors to help protect me. Please help.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
 
I would advise you to seek a priest’s help (ASAP) given your past working with witchcraft; indeed very dangerous. Yes, Satan wants you back, but you need to fight.

Praying the Holy Rosary for you tonight dear one.
 
Dear Jen,
Don’t give up. Realize that the reason you are being attacked is precisely because you are giving your life to Christ, the only One worthy of all of our love and worship. What you are experiencing happens to more Christians than you think; so though you may feel alone, you are not.

Trust that God will not allow you to endure more than you can stand; and that ultimately, He will bring good to you and glory to Himself through this horrific ordeal that you are suffering.

Remember that Christ Himself loves you, so much so that He died for you! Remember, too, that He suffered similar trials in the wilderness, Gethsemane, and I believe on the cross (see Psalm 22:12-16). I know someone who experienced something in regards to the demonic world that felt exactly like what is described in this passage!

As to what to do: James 4:7 says: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” In the meantime, you are in my prayers, and in the prayers of my husband and daughter.

Peace to you.
 
Thank you so much for your prayers and inspirational words. I’m going to stay on this forum for as long as I can stay awake tonight and just try to keep reading what you kind people are posting. Thank you so, so much. It is so good to be where people understand.

Pater noster, qui es in coelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum: adveniat regnum tuum:
fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie: et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum; benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritu Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL
Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.

Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to their image and likeness and whom Jesus has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Holy Church venerates thee as her guardian and protector; to thee, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into heaven.

Pray therefore that the God of Peace allows men of faith to expel Satan, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church. Offer our prayers to the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us; take hold of “the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan,” bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit “so that he may no longer seduce the nations.”

I have prayed for you. It is not at all uncommon for people who have recently converted, or who have increased their committment to Christ to be spiritually attacked. When this happened to me I was not prepared and was really surprised at the intensity.

The Prayer to St Michael the Archangel and the Rosary are very powerful prayers. You do not need to fear Satan–Christ has you in His arms and will not let you go. Occasionally I will sense evil trying to instill fear in me, and I pray the prayer to St. Michael and call on the name of Jesus. It really does work. Do not give in to fear.
 
PRAYER FOR COURAGE
Dear God, give me courage,
for perhaps I lack it more than anything else.

I need courage before men against their threats
and against their seductions.

I need courage to bear unkindness,
mockery, contradiction.

I need courage to fight against the devil,
against terrors and troubles, temptations,
attractions, darkness and false lights,
against tears, depression, and above all fear.

I need Your help, dear God.

Strengthen me with Your love and Your grace.

Console me with Your blessed Presence
and grant me the courage to persevere
until I am with You forever in heaven.
Amen.

A PRAYER
IN TIME OF DISTRESS.
I shall walk through dark valleys,
I fear no harm for you are at my side.
Your rod and staff shall give me courage,
No evil shall befall me,
No weakness in my stride.

God wills not my foot to slip
Or my guardian sleep,
He guides me from all evil,

The Lord is my guardian;
The Lord the shade I keep,
By day the sun cannot harm me
Or the moon by night.

For the Lord said,
"Do not let your hearts be troubled,
Have faith in God and also in me.
In my Father’s house
There are many dwelling places.
If there were not,
Would I have told you
That I am going to prepare
A place for you?

And if I go
And prepare a place for you,
I will come back again
And take you to myself,
So that where I am
You also may be."

If the Lord is with us,
Who can be against us? Amen.
 
Assuming that you are right and are actually being attacked by Satan (of course I can’t actually judge over the internet and probably wouldn’t be able to judge in person either; I don’t have the gift of supernatural discernment of spirits), remember for one thing that you were much more in danger from Satan when you were in Hinduism and Wicca than you are now as a Catholic. Subtle influence is no longer working, so he is terrorizing you in the hope of stealing the peace you can have in Christ and somehow driving you back into sin through fear. Fortunately, God is infinitely stronger than the devil and will not let you be put through any trial without giving you the grace to persevere through it.

I would seek out a good priest about this. Maybe even contact your bishop (I hope you have a good bishop who takes these things seriously and does not automatically dismiss them as psychological) who can direct you to a good priest. Ideally if you could get in touch with an exorcist that might be best. Not that you sound at all like you are possessed of course, but an exorcist has training and experience in matters diabolical and I imagine could help with discernment, advice, and maybe some sort of prayer to help you. I have never to my knowledge met an exorcist, but I would hope and imagine that they are not the strange characters portrayed in movies but wholesome, clearheaded, pure individuals -light to shine in the darkness.

Also if possible receive confession frequently and communion daily! Pray the prayer to St. Michael. If you are psychologically strong and will not be led into superstition and dark imaginings by it, get your hands on some holy water and other sacramentals and use them. The prayers and blessings attached to sacramentals could help if conceived as exactly that, not as some kind of vague occult power.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Remember oh most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence I fly unto thee oh Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Thanks so much for the website. I read it and it helped me understand what kind of problem I’m dealing with, I guess it could be a lot worse.
I’ve thought about talking to a priest about it but my archdiocese is very conservative. I really worry that people will assume I’m totally crazy. Just the fact that I’ve been involved in witchcraft makes me question my sanity. What was I thinking? I just don’t know…
It’s very interesting that people seem to pick and choose what they believe about the Catholic faith. Many people underestimate the power the devil has and are even unsure if there even is a devil. I guess if I had the choice, I’d rather believe it was all just makebelieve. Atleast now I know everything that Christ said is 100% legit. It’s true, it’s all true!! Maybe this will inspire me to a stronger faith.
Thank you again so much for the prayers. I appreciate every single one, really, every single prayer is making me feel safer. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh my Jesus
Save us from the fires of hell,
Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thyne mercy.

lord here our prayes fo Jen
 
Please see a priest who can help you! Your past involvement may have opened doors to allow these attacks. Usually those who are involved in such things need help from a priest for deliverance.

May Our Lord lead you to the help you need.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Oh Sweetie,

You need to pray to Michael the Archangel. He fights for us. I am so sorry. Really makes me angry that you are having this issue. Hugs to you, honey.

**Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the
wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God
cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who wander
through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
