The prayer that destroys the devil
Father Cipriano de Meo, the dean of the exorcists, says that the possessed carry out an apostolate that the Lord allows to make people understand the importance of the life of Grace. In fact, the manifestations of the devil and his suffering during exorcisms lead to profound reflections on the truths of faith.
One Friday I was at the exorcism mass in Torre Le Nocelle. In front of me, a possessed woman reacted to prayers with loud screams and screams. The devil, through him, complained of a burning defeat, repeating like a broken record:
"I was supposed to blow up that man's brain, but you saved him!"
And then, referring to the Madonna whose name he never pronounces, he added angrily:
«It was that woman who ruined me! It was that novena, that damned novena that saved him !!! The novena to that woman !!! Of all the novenas that his wife recited for him, that is the most powerful, it is the one that saved him !!! ».
The chant continued indefinitely, arousing considerable interest in me, needless to say. What novena could be so powerful as to destroy a death plan, I wondered. Mentally I was reviewing the most famous Marian novenas, but the devil did not provide any information to identify the one who had defeated him. I consoled myself by thinking that in any case any prayer to the Virgin Mary has a devastating impact on the kingdom of darkness and that therefore her affirmation stimulated her to implore her more often. But I didn't give up: I wanted to know!
Then I began to beg the Lord in my heart, to force Satan to reveal the name of the novena who had annihilated his plans through the mouth of the possessed woman, and in the end, to my surprise, he answered me.
Towards the end of the exorcism, the devil revealed:
«It is the novena to" The one who unties the knots "that destroyed my plans and that saved him! I had to blow his brain over to that one! It is the most powerful novena of all those that recited his wife, he had already made many, but this ruined me! ».
Finally, by divine permission, I knew which novena to recommend to everyone!
Félicité from Switzerland also claims to have discovered the Sanctuary of San Ciriaco (where she was freed by occult forces), after reciting the novena to "Maria who unties the knots". This devotion consists in the recitation of the rosary, intercalated in the third mystery by a supplication, to be recited for nine consecutive days. The "knots" represent the problems that paralyze our life and cause us suffering; those situations blocked and without human solution, which only the hand of God can dissolve.
But why does Mary's intercession annoy the opponent so much? During an exorcism the devil himself gave the answer: "Because your Son runs immediately when you pray!".
