“Everything, even Satan’s futile efforts, ultimately serve God’s plan and leads to our sanctification and his glory.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“Preternatural coughing and vomiting during an exorcism are typically a positive development since they are a sign that demons are being cast out.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“This offering up of suffering is ultimately a reminder to the demons of their defeat on the Cross.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“One woman has an important Gospel ministry and the minute she begins to work on it, she can barely keep her eyes open. After several deliverance sessions, the problem was gone.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“It seems that when they are possessing a human being and looking into a mirror, they see a glimpse of their horrible evil.”- Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“The sessions were not being fully effective. On an inspiration, the Exorcist asked James, ‘Is there any freemasonry or other cult involvement in your family background?’ James responded, ‘My grandfather was a 33rd degree mason.'” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“…the exorcist feared for everyone’s safety. In a firm voice, he invoked the Angelic Powers to restrain the demons. Immediately, the energumen’s arms dropped and his body went limp.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“At one point, demanding the name, I was surprised to hear the response, ‘Judas!’ I further inquired, ‘Are you a demon using his name or the real human who betrayed Jesus?'” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
