So I need your insight.
So since wearing the Bendict medal.
I had two dreams of demons. I only remember the last one. I dont know if its cause the medal is not blessed yet and so the protection isnt there. Or the necklance reminds me of my fear, which is demons witchcarft.
I dreamt that I was in a flat mate house in.There were couple of people and a girl with brown kinda short curly, wavy hair sitting on her bed. There was this wooden square box place on the bed too.
It had squares pieces that looked like they were made from Domino’s material that white marble look. They had Domion’s symbols on them and on other side was alphabet. The girl with brown, wavy hair said let’s get the Ouija board out. As she said this she looked to the fair right hand side meaning the board was on the floor under her bed side table. But we just stay with the wooden square board, and the pieces changed on their own like ouija board. I was then at a house . There was lady there that was by her wooden old fashion desk. I knew her job was some office job and their was guy there too. I remember we were at the living room with a big window and grey sofas. This demon appeared and he had black feathers around his neck and he had like a wolf skull or a deer skull. It said to me “The St.Peter medal wont protect you” I said “The St.Beneditct medal will” and then I was at home outside I said the Our Father Pray. Then I was ar the drive way outside the flat mates house in the backseat of some car next to a white van. By the corner of my eye I saw this blur of black shadow figure disappeared. That was my dream but I was really, really scared after that dream. What do you think

Maybe , maybe not due to your fears . Have no fear my friend ! Jesus is the lord that everything has to bow to . Learn to pray in your dreams if this ever happens again .

Go for confession
Go for mass
Eat less sugar , exercise , manage your stress levels.
Read the bible
Read the lives of st anthony of egypt and his student St macarius the great.
 
Yeah I did pray in my dream I said the Our Father pray. But it was glimpse of it.
Yeah I am working towards my excerise. I can’t fully cause I fracture my ankle like 2 months ago. Was stuck in a moon boot for 8 weeks so it’s gettingthe muscles fired up again and moving. But the progress is going good.

I haven’t been to confession since I was a teenager. I stopped cause I was builled at the school I went too which was catholic school and had confession with the priest. But I moved to a public school and so it wasnt available to me.
I’m pretty scared of the church…telling the preist my confession. Just fearful they be judgmental of me or get angry at me.
Like I use to which I dont anymore. Looked at horoscopes. Or use normal playing cards as tarto cards. This was 2 years ago of course. Never touched a card since then. The horoscope back and forth cause it’s very easily pushed at young teenager girls. I guess the fear of uncertainty of the future and so people go towards that to find certainty.
But deep down we need to put faith in God. So I go back and forth in that.
Or my habit at looking at porn since 14. If I told a priest that and I’m a woman it be hugely embrassing. Cause it feels more expected from a man. But if it’s a woman! It’s like shocking.
So yes I am telling you a complete stranger my sins.
But I am afarid to tell a priest this. I have a sel sense of shame. I just couldnt face preist or God and say! These are my sins.
 
The best thing you can do is go to confession. Especially if you haven’t been in a long time. God gave the power to his priests to absolve you of your sins in his name. They don’t judge, they are sinners themselves. They want to see their flock growing in holiness, and that involves going to confession. Most priests are rather compassionate, especially with someone who has not been in a long time. One of the best ways to combat the devil in your daily life is by going to confession regularly and remaining In a state of grace. It can be hard, but very relieving afterwards, because you know your sins are forgiven.

God already knows all about your sins. In fact, God knew all the sins you would EVER commit and Christ still died for you. I would say that feeling ashamed of your sin is a grace in itself. God is close to the contrite of heart. St. Paul even says that Godly sorrow leads to repentance that brings salvation! Do not fear going to confession, for it is SUCH a blessing that you are missing out on!

I remember going to confession for the first time. I was in my late 20s and I was certain the priest was going to judge me or think I was a sinner like none he had ever seen before. I made a list of all my sins and had to read them off…my voice was shaking I was so scared. But I was surprised to find his expression didn’t even change…it was like he had heard it all before!

I don’t know you, but I can’t think of many people who have confessed worse sins than I have. I was a womanizer, an alcoholic, and a very bitter soul who took pleasure in causing other people misery. I have done some horrible things in my day. Christ forgave me and this is a testament in my life to how merciful he truly is.

Go to confession! You will not regret it! Nothing like the amazing relief of being forgiven by the amazingly merciful God!
 
Do not be afraid to go to confession. You may want to meet with a priest and tell him of your fears. Explain to the priest what you have shared with us.

Pray, especially to Our Blessed Mother to help you!

The Lord wants to pour out his Mercy to all, but they need to approach Him with repentance, and you certainly sound sorry.

Be not afraid! I will keep you in my prayers.
 
You can ask the priest to give the special blessing to your St. Benedict medal.
 
Nothing you can say to a priest in confession is shocking, he has heard it all before. If you are afraid of going to confession, go anyway!
 
the devil knows that his time is short so he pulls out all the stops.
 
Zandy, God knows we are all sinners and that embarrassment from shame and guilt could drive us even farther away from him. He gave us His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus, in turn, gave us His Church with its Sacraments—for us!

If telling your local priest your sins is what’s stopping you, and to strengthen your ability to let them go and forget them after you’re absolved, pray to make a good Confession, study the examination of sins before Confession, prepare in your mind (or even write down on paper) all the sins that you can remember, and approximately how many times you’ve committed each type of sin since your last confession. Google for confession times in other churches, and get yourself to the confessional!

Every single day that you wake up is the first day of the rest of your life. Every day you can start anew, IF you decide “Today’s the day!” Confession wasn’t intended as a “once & done forever” sacrament. Confession was instituted to cleanse our souls for reception of Christ’s Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist. Compare it to medicine. Confession helps us in our efforts to steer clear of sin; it’s a sort of medicine for our minds, as well as our souls. Our good intentions are nourished through receiving absolution, then Holy Communion.

If a heavy penance will help you to let your past stay in the past, so you can then move forward confident of God’s love for you, tell Father exactly that. Then, LISTEN to Father! He can easily tell whether you’re remorseful and aching to undo your wrongs. If he assigns a penance that seems too lightweight to you, say as many additional prayers as you wish, but KNOW that your priest, in granting you absolution, is acting in persona Christie—in the person of Christ—Himself! Believe what he tells you! After absolution, let your sins go.

Look to the future, confident that your soul is free from sin—until you stumble and stain it, again, as God knows we’re going to do, simply because we’re human. Then go to confession and clear your soul account so you can begin anew. Keep going forward; don’t pedal in place like a hamster going around and around, never getting anywhere.

Best wishes to you. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
 
Ex-soldier. PTSD for years. I came back to the faith through the graces associated with praying the rosary. Anyway, I used to have nightmares so bad that I used to have a real fear of going to sleep. I kid you not. Do you know what vertigo is? I got vertigo, anxiety, and a real fear of going to sleep because of the nightmares that I knew were coming. Without any encouragement or motivation at all I began praying the rosary, I got this first rosary online but it didn’t inspire me. So after a few weeks I started making my own rosary beads and had them blessed. The nightmares began to subside only a little bit, that is to say I still got them terribly but not every single time I fell asleep. Then I started yelling out “Jesus” when those nightmares came. they stopped immediately and really began to subside in intensity and in frequency. I only had to call out to our Lord during those nightmares twice. Now I have no more nightmares. It has been around 18 months since my last one. I still remember some of them. But I don’t fear sleeping anymore and I pray the rosary every evening. I also recite a number of chaplets (St. Michael, Divine Mercy, Chaplet for the Dead, Chaplet of the Precious Blood of Jesus, and the Seven Sorrows Chaplet). I make my own chaplet beads for these also.
On the Saint Benedict medal… there is a special prayer/blessing associated wth this sacramental, all of the priests I have approached to have them specially blessed/exorcised have not performed the correct ritual. Never-the-less, I stick with the rosary and the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus. I have 4 Benedict medals ready to be buried in the four corners of our family property, they have been blessed by a Carmelite priest, I shall first have them set in concrete then I will bury that into the ground on our property. Blessed be Jesus and Mary.
 
I am glad that you are sleeping better these days. The power of prayer. 🙂 Thank you for your service.
 
I personally find the St. Michael prayer very helpful. Also pray to your patron saint- he/she’ll interceed for you.

Also, going to Confession may help as well. Entrust yourself to the care of the Blessed Virgin, and she’ll protect you. If you make your troubles known to her, she’ll help you out.
 
What is patron saint? I don’t know if I was taught this , I never had holy communion. Because my mother told me she didn’t believed it. Even though I went to Catholic school, my family comes from Catholic upbringing. I was so envious and sad other kids could have it I couldn’t at the time. When I look back now I thought it was odd of my mother to do that. Cause she had holy clmmuion when she was a kid. But when my parents had divorced that’s when we slowly stopped going to church. We went to this happy clappers Christian church for a while, then we stopped. Cause it affected my ocd and they kept going on about the devil that it scared me as a child. Well my mum kept crying in church which was unsettling to see. Then after that we stopped going to church together for years now.

Zandy, when I wrote in Post #13 that you need to prepare for confession and go to a priest other than the one at your church, I did not understand that you have only received the sacrament of Baptism.
In that case, I retract my advice to do anything, except, PLEASE see a priest and let him sort everything out for you.

Reading through your threads and posts, It sounds as though you either live in a community or a country in which people think about the occult and/or superstitions. Lol! You have too much free or idle time! Have a purpose! Have goals! Please don’t drift. If you’re hurting for money, do what jobs you can find until you can get the schooling necessary for your life’s money-paying line of work.

God loves you and your family. He sacrificed His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. Before he completed His work on earth, Christ established His Church, which we know today as the Catholic Church. He taught the apostles what they were to hand down to us.

In order to be a practicing Catholic—one who abides by the teachings of the Church and receives the sacraments regularly—one must be baptised in a certain way. If one has passed the age of reason, around 7 years, in most countries, then the person must first study in order to become a practicing Catholic. Only your parish priest can help you.

I repeat: PLEASE see your priest. He will verify your baptismal records and tell you what you must do to receive the sacraments as a practicing Catholic.

In the meantime, read from trustworthy sources and talk to God throughout your day. When you are tempted to say or do, or think a lot about something that you know deep within you is wrong, or even questionable, say the simple words: “Jesus, help me!” When something has gone very well, say: “Thank you, Jesus!” When the thought of ghosts or something similar flits through your mind, say “Jesus, help me!” Make it a habit throughout each day to talk to Him, ask for His help, and thank Him.

Best wishes for your future. I will keep you in my prayers.
 
A patron saint is a saint that you feel connected with, and that you can devote yourself to.

Mine is St. Cecilia 🙂
