“I noted especially David’s comment about the St. Michael prayer: it frightens demons, causes them intense pain, and they scream in agony. I will be more diligent in using this prayer in our future exorcism sessions.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti

“Everything Satan does, much to his dismay and rage, witnesses to the Truth and redounds to his own destruction.” – Monsignor Stephen Rossetti
“The exorcism was moving forward but when Fr. McGivney was invoked, it was taken to a new level. Upon reflection, we were not surprised that Fr.
