In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
A special case is about shamans, who consider themselves white magicians or good witches,
only to do good and cure diseases.
There have been shamans in all times and on all continents.
In places in the jungle they use ayahuasca, which is a hallucinogen, to alter the patient's
state of consciousness and thus try to cure him.
Elsewhere, they use other chemical hallucinogens or just some kind of liquor.
In some towns, especially in Africa, they continue to use ritual dance until they reach
a trance in order to communicate with the spirits.
Shamanism is a kind of spiritism.
They try to heal by means of supposedly good spirits, but no one can guarantee that they
are, and in fact, any kind of spiritism is bad.
In addition, we must be very clear that there is no kind of white magic.
Some make white magic and black magic opponents, using the right hand and the left hand.
The former would be innocent, founded on natural laws, with ritual and malefic practices or
black magic being reserved for witchcraft.
As if there were a magic for good and another for evil: healing magic of shamans on the
one hand, and sorcery of curses on the other.
Shamans sometimes work on the "left hand" side, and sorcerers are happy to cast hexes,
if the price is paid.
All magic or witchcraft, in a more or less confused way, is directed at hidden forces
with various rites, formulas, implorations and spells.
When do they use natural forces or do white magic?
When does Satan do black magic?
All magic is bad.
You have to reject all kinds of magic, whatever it may be, and likewise any kind of spiritism
or going to the spirits, even if it is to ask for good things.
Some magicians or shamans, to give confidence to their clients, have images of saints in
their offices and even pray an Our Father; but by invoking the spirits, they are doing
something that goes against God's will and therefore they are offending Him.
Everything is about pretending or to show off to attract the unwary, those who are going
to get money, and sometimes, make them dependent through amulets or other objects that are
given to them, which, in the best of cases, would be superstitious things forbidden by God.
A well-known exorcist monsignor says: "Once I had in my hands a business card from a healer.
In one part, there was the image of the Holy Trinity with the text: "Glory to the Father
and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit."
In the other part: "The hands that heal, destruction of hexes and prediction of the future."
Below this there were written down phone numbers, three in one city and another three in another,
in addition to the cell phone.
The person who gave me the card told me that he had come to visit her and that his services
were very expensive."
In conclusion, when we have problems, we should ask God for help instead of going to magicians, witches or shamans.
The further we are from them the better to prevent exposing ourselves to them.
As Teresa of Ávila also known as Saint Teresa of Jesus said: "With God I lack nothing, only
God is enough".
And Saint Paul the Apostle tells us: "If God is for us, who can be against us?"
- Romans chapter 8 verse 31.
The bishop Andrea said: One day a thirteen-year-old boy named Pascualino was brought to me, carried
with difficulty by two robust men in a chair and accompanied by his mother.
The boy could not walk alone, despite the fact that the doctors had found nothing wrong with him.
The ordeal of the family had begun several years before, since Pasqualino was in the
womb of his mother.
His mother told me that when he was still very young, his belly was so swollen and hard
that it looked like stone.
Doctors operated on him and found nothing wrong.
Everything was normal.
It was a case of a curse that was done to his mother when the child was still in her womb.
So when I began to pray for the boy, his mother also began to suffer inexplicable pain.
So I was praying for him every week, for some time.
After several prayer sessions, it seemed that there was no progress in his healing.
Until one day when I was in Sicily, invited to preach at the sanctuary of Our Lady of
Consolation of Paterno in Catania, Italy.
Before taking the plane at the Catania airport to return to my home in Isernia, I wanted
to visit the Roccia di Belpasso, a Marian place where the Virgin Mary is believed to
have appeared.
I didn't have much time and I started to do an intense prayer.
I spoke to our mother the Virgin Mary about Pascualino.
My prayer was full of hope.
The next day, after having rested all night at my house, the phone rang and they told
me with joy that Pascualino was walking and that he was free from the power of the devil.
A few days later, Pascualino came with his relatives to visit me so that he could personally
verify the miracle performed after the fervent prayer that I had made before the Roccia di Belpasso.
It was an incredible joy and an extraordinary miracle for everyone.
The power of intercession of the Virgin Mary is very powerful against the power of the evil one.
Bishop Andrea himself has repeatedly stated that the devil has told him that if he were
not protected by the Virgin Mary, he would have crushed him long ago.
One day, in the middle of the rite of exorcism, the poor patient was at the height of his
despair because I poured holy water on him, anointed him with holy oil, and above all,
invoked our mother the Virgin Mary.
Then he began to cry, he screamed, turning his head towards the image of the Virgin Mary
without looking at the image with his eyes, and he said with a very bitter affirmation
to the exorcist: "She knows everything".
This is what many saints, like Bernard of Clairvaux, have said centuries ago: our Lord
Jesus Christ wanted to do everything through the Virgin Mary, as if saying that Jesus enjoys
giving us all the graces and blessings through the Virgin Mary.
For this reason it is often said that the Virgin Mary is the mediator or mediatrix of all graces.
The history of twenty centuries of Catholicism is a resplendent confirmation of this sovereign
decision of God:
"Everything through the Virgin Mary".
Knowing by the mouth of the evil one has been one of the greatest joys of my religious and
priestly life, and the confirmation of a path of life that has always been mine.
For this reason it is necessary to recommend to all those freed from the power of the evil
one that they love the Virgin Mary very much and pray the Holy Rosary daily.
The rosary, according to our Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, is a formidable weapon against Satan.
Maria Simma, the well-known Austrian mystic who had the charism of seeing the souls in
purgatory, who appeared to her to ask her for help, says: "One day I was sitting at
home in an armchair and I took the rosary to pray it.
As I had to leave the room for a moment, I put the rosary on the chair.
Upon returning, I found it incredibly knotted.
I couldn't remove the knots.
So, I said to Satan: Stupid, either you undo my knots right now or I will immediately bring
ten souls out of purgatory.
Before my astonished eyes, the knots were untied and I was able to continue praying the rosary.
When I see any interference from Satan in my things, I command him in the Name of Jesus
and he obeys me immediately.
Certainly, the rosary is one of the things that Satan dislikes most.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
