Please share this as it may deter someone from getting intoxicated.
And maybe even inspire some to start a prayer group( 2 or 3 )and help
clean out an area---the power of prayer---and the use of
sacramentals----it's amazing !!!
In the early 90's, and being a very laid back lax Catholic,I got a
huge wake up call one day and came back to the Church. I owned a very
large video store (small in space but lots of movies ) and instead of
carrying the "bad "movies, I had lots of children's and Christian
movies and the religious movies were rent free. Also, I had just
read Fr. Gobbi's book titled "To My Beloved Sons".
All day long, I was passing out to customers a leaflet on how to
start a prayer group and giving out rosaries and telling them that
each prayer group would help diminish Satan's power in the area. Well
it was almost 8 PM and I was getting ready to close when 2 couples
walked in (one couple was Catholic, and the other couple, I was not
sure what, but he believed in God as he had had a near death experience.)
Then this young man walked in staggering. He was overwhelmingly drunk
and was swaying and trying to talk but couldn't ( the man was
blocking the doorway and looked like he was going to fall through the
plate glass picture window).
Finally I said "can I help you? " and he couldn't even answer,
although he did try. Then his eyes rolled to the top of his head so
you could only see white, he slammed his fist on the counter and his
face contorted horribly and he said in perfect English "Don't you
know who I am ?" Still not understanding what I was seeing, I said
"who are you ?" His answer was "my name is satan and I rule the world
" then he went back to the drunken state he was in earlier.
As I picked up the phone and dialed the police, I noticed my 4 other
customers with their jaws dropped in horror. The police came and took
him away and then my dear customers said that the man was possessed
because he had given up his free will by being so drunk. It was then
that I realized that the guy in the red suit doesn't like cenacles
and didn't want to give up his territory. Well, that whole incident
just made me more determined.
P.S.Then I put a St. Benedict's medal over my entrance door, and the
next time he came in very drunk, he was perfectly polite, walked
outside, and took on 2 officers who arrested him. He really hurt one of them.

Lord, may everything we do begin with Your inspiration and continue
with Your help,
so that all our prayers and works may begin in You and by You be happily ended.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
