Hello,

I’d like to ask for people’s prayers here. I converted to Roman Catholicism through the RCIA program this past April 7th on the Easter Vigil Mass. Prior to that, I was deeply involved in Satanism. I was a member of a group called “the Brotherhood”, and I had a teacher that I was learning from for several years. I was proficient in witchcraft, demonolatry (worshipping demons), and various forms of rituals. My apartment had altars to many different demons who I would pray to and offer incense and offerings on daily basis in return for money, sex, and different favors. (and yes, it works!)
One day, one of my rituals went wrong and the demons I worked with became unpleasant to be around. One of the demons on my altar would cause me to be sick to me stomach when I prayed to it.

Their presence was suffocating and I needed them gone. I purchased a St Michael candle and prayed the prayer on the back and asked Michael to send the demons away from my home. Almost instantly, the demonic presence disappeared. I then realized that God had more power that the demons which I worshipped and worked with as allies on a daily basis. After a few months, my girlfriend at the time (who is now engaged to me, and we are preparing for marriage!) talked with me about Satanism and about how God uses bad experiences in life to bring people to Him. I decided to throw out all my occult stuff and join the Catholic Church.
It’s a struggle, but I’m doing my best to live by Christ’s commandments and live as God wills me to. I’m under pressure often to return to the occult, but I know this would be a grave sin and I dont want to go back. The power you gain from Satanism is highly addicting, but it doesnt compare to the peace that Jesus gives. I just wanted to share this testimony and ask that you pray for me that God would bless my life as I live for Him and for protection against my old companions, as I’m sure they are angry with me. I still find myself under constant attack from the enemy through temptation and nightmares.

Your Brother in Christ,

-Matt Brown
 
Dear Matt, your guardian angel had probably prepared a huge party with Jesus on your return to him. Welcome back. Keep praying. If i was you, i would consult with a priest to ask for extra prayers and possibly exorcism. You could have dark entities in you. If you have any pain in your solar plexus during confession or a prayer of our Holy father, it is a sign. Be patient with yourself, it is a journey. If you have no remorse it could be normal but pray Mother Mary that she gives you remorse so you can be free from any unloving choice you made. It is so important to understand the wrong doing of our past action. There is chapelet of Mercy that you should consider to do. Here is a link on youtube.

I pray for you, your future wife and family to be safe and protected in all ways. I ask for St Padre Pio, St Benedict and Mother Mary to pray for you always.

Many blessings during your journey and your way home with God.
 
Absolutely! Armies of Angels headed your way!

I suggest attending an “Unbound” conference. It will arm you with spiritual weapons that you will need on your journey. The leader’s name is Neal Lozano. They are totally faithful to the Church. His books are great too.

I am so proud of you!

“There is more rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner…”

P.S. I have prayed a lot of prayers and offered a lot of suffering over the past few years for the conversion of Satanists. Yay! I guess my prayers were heard.
 
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.

Welcome home brother!!!👍

Another soul that belongs to God has been taken from the grasps of the devil. Victory in heaven. May God bless you and your family. Temptations will never end, but you have God’s grace to overcome them.
 
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. be our safeguard against the wikedness 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. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen!
 
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.

Welcome home! The path you are on is the true path to heaven and the promise of happiness beyond anything that this world can offer in heaven is as real as it gets!

Now, like me, you have committed great sins in your past and so you have a heavy cross to carry from here on in. The temptation to return to sin is going to be very strong and I believe there are going to be times in your life when it’s going to feel like you are absolutely certain that you made a mistake by converting to Catholicism and that you want absolutely nothing to do with Church or our Blessed Lord. Stay close to the rosary and pray it everyday, no matter what! It will be your anchor against the violent waves of evil and temptation. No matter what you do during the day, don’t go to bed without having prayed your rosary! The promises that have been attached to a daily rosary are nothing short of miraculous. Getting to heaven could be as simple as a truly unshakeable devotion to this prayer! 🙂

Wonderful news!!! 😃 And Welcome Home!!!.. I will be praying for your protection and continued journey on the Path of God… May God Bless you and St Michael watch over you 🙂

:signofcross::blessyou::grouphug:
 
I’ll bet the demons are gnashing their teeth with rage at the thought of losing you. Pray the Rosary daily. A Rosary a day keeps the devil away!

Heavenly Father, we pray in the name of Your beloved Son, Jesus, that You encamp Your Holy Angels around Matt Brown and keep him safe from the evil ones.

Pray with me, Matt:

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
Oh good Jesus, hear me
Within Your wounds, hide me
Never permit me to be separated from you
FROM THE WICKED ENEMY, DEFEND ME
At the hour of death, call me and bid me come to you
That with your Saints, I may praise you forever and ever
Amen :signofcross:
 
Prayers for you, Matt.

**
O glorious Prince St. Michael,
chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls,
vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King,
and our admirable conductor,
thou who dost shine with excellence and superhuman virtue,
vouchsafe to deliver us from all evil,
who turn to thee with confidence,
and enable us by thy gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully every day.
Amen.

Pray for us, O Glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ.
That we may be made worthy of His Promises.**

You can bet I’m praying for you! Just never forget that God is definitely more powerful than anything Satan has up his sleeve and you hit the nail on the head when you said, “The power you gain from Satanism is highly addicting, but it doesnt compare to the peace that Jesus gives.” Do you pray the rosary? I will offer up a rosary for you, my friend. Stay strong and know that God, our Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints have your back! 😉

is it ethically and morally wrong for me to listen to rock and music and heavily metal music from singers and guitar players that are into the occult and/or some kinda of Satanism???

What if the song itself has OK lyrics, but the singers/musicians have bad and evil and immoral personal lives???
 
Please consider going and spending time with our Lord at adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Amazing things happen there. Supernatural in the best sense.

**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.

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 death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.**
 
My Brother,
I will pray my daily rosary for you and ask that you are strengthened daily and protected against anything that may tempt you to sway, God is good and he will continue to work in you.

The peace of our Lord be with you,
WordHeavy
 
Hmmm…

I wonder if Holly’s and mine prayer efforts to help people like you helped you in any way…? 🤷

I think…YES! :)🙂

Welcome home. 👍
 
I will pray every night just like I do for myself and my friend.

Welcome home. 😃

Thank you and God bless you for sharing this personal yet touching testimony with all of us. God works in mysterious ways.

If it is any consolation you are not alone — as a matter of fact it is Divine that I happen to come across your website as I have been receiving magazines titled Il Rosario e la Nuova Pompei which was founded in 1884 by Blessed Bartolo Longo.

santuario.it/

If you do not know or you are not familar with Blessed Bartolo Longo he too fell into Satanism and was in fact a Satanist Priest

saints.sqpn.com/blessed-bartholomew-longo/

I will add you and the many who have been lured into Occult, New Age, Witchcraft, Satanism, etc.

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection
against the malice and snares of the devil. We humbly beseech God to
command him, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the divine
power thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who roam
through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

St. Michael, the Archangel please intercede for everyone who has been possessed and tormented by evil.

Here are a couple websites where you or anyone can print off the St. Michael the Archangel Prayer card for free:
