Priests in the course of their pastoral ministry meet situations where the possibility of the presence and activity of demonic spirits is suggested. In so many words, it is the bigfootwerewolf of Cajun country.By Porteous, Bishop Julian (Author) $14.95 AUD. SeptemOverview Longwood, aka Nutts Folly, is a six-sto. Historical Research Archives, Library, and Reading Room. I think this is extremely important, because if we as faithful laity submit to our rightful role, our prayers are all the more efficacious because of our humility and faithfulness to follow the Magisterium of the Church.
However, this must be done wisely, correctly and in accordance with ecclesial law. Laity such as ourselves (and perhaps you too) are a non-intimidating facet of the Church, and have an important role to play in presenting the gospel and reaching a world lost in darkness. So many ordinary people are embarrassed or would never go to their priest or pastor, but they do phone and contact people such as myself and my team. I have no doubt that this Manual will become a very useful tool in the hands of the faithful who wish to pray and intercede on behalf of those suffering and in need, yet who definitely desire to stay humble and true to their rightful role that God has placed them in, and not usurp the role of others and go beyond what they authoritatively should do.
He is also very up-to-date with what is going on with the liturgical rite of exorcism and deliverance prayer issues. He makes it very clear what is allowed by laity and what is not. He covers all of these issues sufficiently in this little manual. However, the Bishop does include an entire range of prayers toward the back of the Manual, starting with the Prayer of St.īasil on page 55, that laity can use with complete confidence that one is not violating canon or liturgical law.Īs someone who strictly adheres to the Code of Canon Law (c.1172), the Praenotanda (norms) of the new 1998 Rite of Exorcism, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, as well as documents and letters put out by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Congregation for Divine Worship that regulates such matters, this Manual by Bishop Porteous is very much appreciated. This is likely due to my life experiences and education. I am not a part of the Charismatic Renewal I simply have been called by God into a ministry of helping people with these problems. Thank you, Bishop Julian Porteous, for compiling these prayers.
