Catholics better beware as the rosary you are using might be infested or cursed.
An exorcist priest said a group called Illuminati is giving away “satanic rosaries” that have been prayed over and consecrated to evil so that whoever uses it will be followed by evil spirits.
“These were made not only to be simply given away but to deceive Catholics…so that evil spirits will haunt them,” Libera Nox chief exorcist Fr. Ambrosio Nonato Legaspi said in a CBCP News post.
Diocese of Novaliches Office of Exorcism (Libera Nox) assistant case officer Philippe de Guzman said satanic rosaries have odd symbols on them that are not readily noticeable to the untrained eye.
Often made of plastic, he said the symbols could either be a snake wrapped around the cross, a pentagram, and/or a sun with rays, an insignia of the Illuminati.
De Guzman revealed that they confiscated such a rosary from a recent infestation case handled by Libera Nox and similar rosaries have also been confiscated from prior infestation cases.
He said the last rosary turned out to be the reason why an evil spirit resided in the room of the client, causing disturbances in the house.
Legaspi said sometimes, there are no symbols, but a ritual was done on it.
According to him, witches come to an occult store in many places abroad to buy items like religious images so that a curse or evil spirit can be attached to it before it is given away as a gift.
The Libera Nox chief exorcist then urged priests to bless religious items according to Catholic rituals and to exorcise them, especially if its owners have experienced paranormal occurrences.
“Not just a blessing, these items should be exorcised. Not just an ordinary blessing where water is just sprinkled – as most priests commonly do – but to use the Catholic ritual…that would frighten the demon away,” said Legaspi.
He added that simply sprinkling holy water on the cursed or infested item will not make the evil spirit go away, especially if the ritual carried out by the Satanists lasted for 30 minutes, making it a major curse.
Legaspi also denied the need to perform a longer blessing to undo the evil ritual but to simply carry out one prescribed by the Catholic Church.
“There is no need for an exorcist to do so since the Book of Blessings of the Old Rite prayers can be said by any priest for this purpose,” he said.
Aside from satanic rosaries, Libera Nox also warned the public about Masonic medals that look like that of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal except that a compass, which is the insignia of the Masons, can be found at the bottom.
Masons, a secret society of men known and declared by the Catholic Church as anti-Christian and anti-Church.
