State allows Benedictine monks in Italy to live the Rule of St.Benedict but not his theology

Image result for Sacro Speco Subiaco Photos
The monasteries of St. Benedict at Subiaco are the property of the State and the monks are only allowed to live the Rule of St.Benedict but not his theology.Theology is controlled by the Italian State.When the Catholic Church is not free to teach the theology of St. Benedict it reminds me of Communist China.

According to the theology of St. Benedict every one needs to be incorporated into the Catholic Church as a member for salvation. This was his theology during his missionary drive in Europe.
Since every one needs to enter the Church as a member  to avoid Hell,the Social Reign of Christ the King over all social and political legislation was a priority. There was no separation of Church and State.
But extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS) is not the theology today permitted by the State and Satan, represented by the political Left.There is a new theology in the Church today which has been approved by the State and the Vatican.

This theology which replaces the original one based on EENS has an objective error. It has a simple mistake.So it cannot be a genuine theology.This is exposed if you would ask the monks at Subiaco or their Superior General in Rome these two questions.
1.Are there known people in 2017  saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire ? They would say "No".Obviously if these cases existed they would only be known to God.We cannot meet someone in Heaven or on earth saved with the baptism of desire etc.So there are no real people as such on earth.

2.Since there are no known people in 2017 saved in invincible ignorance and the baptism of desire with or without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church we could conclude that there are no known exceptions to the dogma EENS? They would have to answer YES here.
Zero cases of something cannot be exceptions to the dogma EENS says the apologist John Martignoni.

The magisterium however assumes there are known exceptions to the dogma EENS,this is the new non-theology.
With a wrong premise they create a non traditional conclusion.
Upon a false premise the whole Church, including the Benedictines have accepted a new theology.
This is the new theology which has replaced the traditional theology on mission,that of St. Benedictine and St. Francis Xavier, for example.
This replacement theology can be reversed however . It can be avoided. This is the good news.It is 'built into the system'.The switch is simple.
How is it done? Avoid the false premise by not interpreting hypothetical cases as being objectively visible.In Vatican Council II for example, keep the references to hypothetical cases as just being hypothetical.So the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance in Vatican Council II would refer to invisible and not visible cases.LG 16, LG 8, UR 3, NA 2 etc all refer to hypothetical cases for me.
With this simple step we are back to the old Benedictine theology!
Image result for Benedettini monasteri Subiaco Photos
With this simple step there are no exceptions mentioned in Vatican Council II to traditional EENS. Traditional EENS according to St. Benedict is in harmony with Vatican Council II.
However can this old theology, this old ecclesiology of the Church be taught today by the Benedictines ? No.The Italian State and the Vatican will not allow it.
The Benedictine Superior, like the pope, to protect their property and maintain their present lifestyle  will say that there are personally known and physically visible cases of non Catholics saved with the baptism of desire and in invincible ignorance.Are there really known cases in 2017 saved without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church?This is irrational and false.
Image result for Abbazia di Santa Scolastica Subiaco Photos
Who are these cases in 2017 ? There are no names, when you ask them. How could any one physically see someone in the past saved as such? There is no comment from them. Even if someone was saved as such how could this person be an exception to the dogma EENS in 2017? There is no answer.

The Church is supporting the false theology of the Communists, leftists and Satanists.
A false reasoning is being used.Their philosophy is a deception. It is a lie and is not Catholic.They are deceiving the laity who do not know theology while conservatives and traditionalists keep silent, since they do not want to offend the secular forces or the Vatican.There is no one to explain this to Catholic political leaders.Even the leaders of political parties which are Catholic in Italy, are using this leftist approved theology in ignorance.

For the Evangelicals the Catholic Church was inspired in the past but the same doctrines and Bible is no more inspired by the Holy Spirit

Yesterday I was talking to an Evangelical Christian. He was a young Rumanian baptised as an Orthodox Christian but who was now an evangelical Christian.
He was quoting the Bible but did not seem to know that the manuscripts for his Bible were approved by a Church Council.
He did not know that his concept of the Trinity and the prayer, the Our Father, also comes from the Catholic Church.
He said that he believed in Jesus without religion. I asked him how was it possible for any one to believe in Jesus without a religion. For example his Bible comes from a religion.Even his evangelical church was a religion and their liturgy was influenced by the Catholic Church.
He said he simply wanted to follow Jesus. He wanted to follow Jesus without the Church which gave us the Bible, amd the Eucharist  which was meaningless in his life .He did not want to follow the Church from where his Christian prayers were preserved?
Daniel said that he believed in the one true Church of Jesus. How would he know which was the one , true church. Would he have to depend on Luther? And then too how would he know if it is correct?
I believe that the Catholic Church was inspired by the Holy Spirit and so the Church chose the inspired manuscripts and we have the Bible in its present form. He agreed. The Church was inspired at that time. So we have a Church inspired in the past by the Holy Spirit but not inspired in the present times for him to join it ?
He believed that the Church was inspired to interpret the Bible for canturies but then after Luther it was no more inspired to affirm what it affirmed for centuries?
He said only faith in Jesus is enough. I said this would be true for a person who dies immediately after his initial conversion. However over time he would have to live the teachings of Jesus as did the first community.
These are just some of the things I enjoyed talking about.He had a conversion experience and has given up his old sinful way of living. He was correct on so many things. Even though he was not a Catholic I could agree with him.
I appreciated his conversion but told him that as a Catholic I believe outside the Church there is no salvation. We both agreed that it was not enough to know about Jesus but it was important to live Jesus' teachings and avoid sin.
But in which Church?

The new theology is not really a theology.Yet it is the 'theology' which the traditionalist and conservative Catholics follow

The new theology is not really a theology.Yet it is the 'theology' which the traditionalist and conservative Catholics  follow.It cannot be a theology since it is based upon a fantasy, that of being able to see people in Heaven or on earth saved without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church.Then they infer that there is salvation outside the Church. This is the theology of the Letter of the Holy Office 1949 to the Archbishop of Boston relative to Fr.Leonard Feeney and that of Vatican Council II. It was approved by Cardinal Ratzinger and the popes and also by Archbishop Lefebvre. All the sedevacantists and traditionalists, including the Society of St.Pius X and the St. Benedict Centers, of Fr.Leonard Feeney, unknowingly or knowingly use this non-theology.
For all of them the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance refer to visible cases and so they assume these visible cases on earth are objective exceptions to all needing to be incorporated into the Church as members for salvation.
The Letter of the Holy Office 1949 actually says all do not need to be incorporated into the Church and the whole Church including the magisterium has overlooked this new heresy posing as the new theology. No one has specifically questioned it.
The St.Benedict Centers and the SSPX have been fencing with tension among some supporters of the two sides.All have assumed that there are known cases of the catechuman with the desire for the baptism of water who dies before receiving it and is saved.This is  and was a hypothetical case in the first place.One can assume with good will that such a person is saved but it would still be a theoretical case.It could not be an explicit exception, for example, 2017 for the need for all non Catholics to formally enter the Church with faith and baptism.
Similarly LG 16, LG8, UR 3, Na 2 etc are all hypothetical cases yet Bishop Fellay the Superior General of the SSPX, and Fr. Pierpaolo Petrucci, the Superior, SSPX Italy among others have assumed they are exceptions to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus. They have mentioned this error online.
Similalry the St.Benedict Centers supporters in contact with the religious Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have rejected Vatican Council II since they consider the Council an exception to the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.LG 16 was a problem for them. Similarly CCC 1257 and 846 would also be a problem for them because of the new theology which they use.
Vatican Council is not a rupture with the past. 
It is the new theology which they use  to interpret the Council which creates the wrong conclusion and inference. The result is that the magisterium  affirms this  heresy, this non traditional conclusion created by the theology,  and enforces it.While the SSPX and SBC are trying to comply or make sense of it all, while overlooking the precise origin of the new theology which they all use.

Hundreds Of Indian Christians Protest Statue Damage


From the Christian Post:
Christians living in a suburb of India’s largest city, Mumbai, took to the streets in protest after two statues of Mother Mary were desecrated on Sunday in Kurla village.
According to community members who spoke with the Mumbai-based Daily News & Analysis, the two statues, which were covered by glass facades, were vandalized around 4 a.m. on Sunday morning.

‘Visionaries’ Continue To See ‘Serious Times’

‘Visionaries’ Continue To See ‘Serious Times’


An alleged seer named Iveta Fernandes of Fouymount, Ontario, asserts that, despite economic upturn and relieved tension in some spots over religious liberties, Westerners shouldn’t get complacent about the state of the world.
Image result for roman danylak
Fernandes — whose reported experiences began on June 27, 1993, at a site of apparitions, in Canada, called Marmora (upon which the diocese has not ruled) — avers she has been granted various messages from the Virgin Mary about our “serious time,” including three “secrets.” Among other outlets, her experiences have gained the attention of the Times of India.

The visionary, who was close to the late Ukrainian Catholic Bishop Roman Danylak of Toronto, said that matters in the world “will escalate to worse under the pretense of looking better. We must not lose sight of the fact that the devil is very cunning. That is where we have to watch and pray. The Catholic Church stands on solid ground.” She also experiences alleged Eucharistic miracles.
Image result for iveta fernandes
There will come, she believes, a period of persecution. Catholics “in time” will be underground.

As always, we submit such augury for purposes of discernment only. Her local bishop, Most Reverend Michael Mulhall, though on what she describes as excellent terms with her, has issued no pronouncements on Iveta’s claims, which extend to Goa, India, where she once lived and where she travels — allegedly directed there by Mary — for two annual apparitions.
Daily visitations have ceased, the visionary told Spirit Daily, and now she sees the Blessed Mother only those two times a year, on December 8 and 25.
“She’s a beautiful mother,” says the Canadian, who was once a hairdresser in Hudson Bay, where she managed two beauty salons. “I have been next to runway models, but there’s not a woman on earth who could take her place. Her beauty comes from inside. She radiates purity. She is dressed in a pure white, in the manner of the Immaculate Conception,
“She always identifies herself as the ‘Mother of God,’ but not always like Lourdes; in garments that are similar but not as Our Lady of Lourdes but instead with the title, ‘Mother of God.’ Her main message is conversion and conversion takes purity. Purity is so lost that modern women have to get back into the attire of glorifying God. We’re in serious times, as she indicates.”
In the current situation, claims Iveta — again, for discernment only — many people are headed for hell, especially due to lack of charity, which she says is a critical and perhaps the key standard for evaluation in the afterlife by God. “We must be more charitable, to everyone,” says Iveta. “That charity plays a very vital part. That will bring about the necessary purity [to enter Heaven]. Materialism right now is Satan’s way of tempting us.”
Iveta, who was born to a wealthy family in Nairobi, Kenya, before moving to Goa, and then Canada, believes the Pope was elevated by the Holy Spirit to lead mankind back to charity, describing him as “a man of great holiness, a simple man. He was chosen by God. And yet he is our Peter. His suffering is very much. It’s sad that many do not see him in that context. There can be a crack in our spirituality — and the enemy can slip in and cause schism. His suffering is very much. It’s sad that many do not see him in that context.” 
For our individual considerations.
We feel it’s important to give air to the mystical (Catholicism is the “Mystical Body”), but at the same time are well aware of the pitfalls. Fasting should be practiced before visiting any site of apparitions, especially those that have not yet been sanctioned by the Church.
Her serious statements dovetail those with another purported messenger, stigmatic Giulio Mass of Italy, who on February 18 (2017) reported “Jesus” making an interesting allusion to a miraculous occurrence that, supposedly, will be in a Portuguese-speaking country (perhaps, his website speculates, South America):
My dear ardent souls, in you my will must be fulfilled. I have called you to be instruments of love and peace. There will always be errors because they are part of human nature, but recognizing them and repenting of them is part of the spiritual life that all people should undertake.
“I am setting you on your way; do not be discouraged if I have called you from different and far-off places – each of you has paths made to measure, apparently different, but which should merge into a single work.
“You are receiving many gifts, I have given you many signs and soon another will be manifested in the distant land where the language used is that chosen by My beloved mother [speaking] in Cova da Iria to the shepherd children [Fatima]. All that you are sharing is so by my express volition and has a precise reason.”
Brazil, Angola, and Mozambique are among a handful of nations that speak Portuguese — if there is validity to such an interpretation. Another place where Portuguese is spoken: Goa!
“My souls, whoever loves has duties to fulfill. The heart and the human mind are strange and let themselves be attracted by false requests, but the universal law of love which should reign in my Church and which I am conveying to you and that you are observing, imposes rules of love that are very different from human thinking. Whoever is not with me is against me. I will yet tell you what to do. Remain with me. I bless you in union with the Father and the Holy Spirit. I will always be with you, now and always. I love you.”
[resources: a new book of prophecy, by Michael H. Brown: Where The Cross Stands: The Last Chance To Reclaim America]
[Footnote: another recent message from Massa: “My beloved children, my heart trembles with joy when a soul surrenders eagerly and ardently to the Most High. Children, my Heart protects from harm the soul that hopes in God with a faithful heart .. May souls rejoice and not suffer because of tribulations, because My Maternal heart neither hides nor falters but is attentive and vigilant. My children, in these times there is an extreme need of prayer. Do not listen to those who speak in my name and do not call to prayer. Today the Holy Rosary will be heard by the Most High as if it were my voice. Prayer is a request of mine and is directed to all peoples. Prayer must spring from a willing heart; it must also be frequent and made with love. ever put it aside, because I want all of you, through it, to reach God. Today the world is confused, so confused: evil presents itself as the only way out; humanity is led by Satan into the deepest of abysses, towards the fullest destruction of the soul .. Blessed are those who want to see clearly in their hearts.”]

How can I foster a relationship with my guardian angel?

To start, it's a good idea to greet them and ask for their assistance during the day. 

How can I foster a relationship with my guardian angel?

God has given each of us a guardian angel to accompany us on our journey to heaven and eternal life. But how should we interact with this spiritual being who is always with us?
First off, we should think of our guardian angels as friends. There aren’t any secrets between us, as they see everything we do. It’s a good idea to greet them and ask for their assistance during the day.
And why not also form the habit of mentally greeting the guardian angels of those we meet?
This will help us to treat the person, whether he be an acquaintance or a family member, with the respect his human dignity deserves.
Angels know things much better than we do. Recall the dialogue Tobias had with the angel Rafael in the book of Tobit 5:5-6:
Tobias said to him, “Do you know the way to Media?” “Yes,” he replied, “I have been there many times. I know the place well and am acquainted with all the routes.”
So we can also ask our angels for advice whenever we’re in a difficult or dangerous situation. Their assistance is important particularly in moments of temptation. Remember, their mission is to keep us from sin and guide us to heaven.
Many spiritual greats have given us insights into how to foster a relationship with our guardian angels.
According to an account in the Encyclopedia of Angels, Pope Pius XI confided to the future Pope John XXIII that when he had a particularly difficult issue to resolve with someone, he would send his guardian angel to first discuss it with that person’s guardian angel. If there was disagreement, he might even ask that person’s guardian angel to help him to understand the other’s point of view. The accord of the angels, the pope said, would make it easier for the human interlocutors to come to an agreement.
Padre Pio would ask his spiritual children to send him their guardian angels whenever they had a need. The saint often wouldn’t sleep at night for all the time it took him to attend to the needs of his spiritual children as presented to him by their guardian angels.
St. Therese of Lisieux wrote a poem to her guardian angel. Part of it recounts how she used her guardian angel to keep her close to those she loved.
O thou who speedest through all space
More swiftly than the lightnings fly!
Go very often, in my place,
To those I love most tenderly.
With thy soft touch, oh! dry their tears;
Tell them the cross is sweet to bear;
Speak my name softly in their ears,
And Jesu’s name, supremely fair.

It’s also good to remember that not only people have guardian angels, but that corporations, parishes, dioceses, cities and other entities are dedicated to the care of the angels.
When St. John Vianney arrived to Ars, sensitive as he was to the spiritual realm, he greeted the angel of the parish and the guardian angels of all his parishioners.
St. Francis de Sales, in a letter to a bishop, recommended that he invoke the angel of his diocese.
And in Portugal, there is a feast for the angel of the country, the same one who appeared to the little shepherds of Fatima.
What’s most important is that we try to imitate the guardian angels, seeking to be like angels for other people, doing all we can to assist their journey to heaven, where one day, all of us together, saints and angels, will contemplate the face of God.

Vatican Council II is one of the main ideological pillars of the Left and they are going to lose it now.Fifty years of confusion in the Church is finished.

I asked John Allen at Crux what's his position on this issue.He says that they do not have any position. He obviously knows what I am saying. How can he honestly say that without the irrational premise Vatican Council II supports  extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Feeneyite). It would be contrary to all his work for Satan. The Left, is from Satan.
SSPX AND ST.BENEDICT CENTERS
It was because of the irrational premise, which created the new theology- Cushingism, that the St. Benedict Centers  and the Society of St. Pius X( SSPX) were in opposition in the past.
Now it is known that it is the magisterium which has made the mistake.It is the magisterium which is irrational and in error.
RATZINGER,RAHNER,KUNG PREMISE
Without the irrational premise of Ratzinger, Rahner and Kung, Vatican Council II is Feeneyite. It is traditional.It has the old ecclesiocentrism which is opposed by the Left.So out of obedience to 'the magisterium', the magisterium has made Catholics proclaim heresy in opposition to the Gospel of Jesus.
Those cardinals and bishops who supported Vatican Council II ( Cushingite) were never excommunicated. Now the heresy is wide spread in the Church, with the approval of the two popes.
They are still not affirming Vatican Council II (Feeneyite) nor are they asking Catholics to do so.
TRADS PROTECTING THEIR BLOGS
Meanwhile traditionalists at Rorate Caeili and Fr.Z's blog act as if all is normal.They will not affirm or discuss Vatican Council II ( Feeneyite). Just as the SSPX accepted a personal prelature ( the  carrot) to avoid the anti-Semitism threat before them ( the stick) traditionalist bloggers protect their blogs as if it is all they have.
Image result for Photo of Ann Barnhardt
Ann Barnhardt a few days back removed a familiar line underscored in yellow.Only now she is assured of an Internet server.There is no more free speech on certain  leftist issues. Ann  prudently, or in ignorance interprets Vatican Council II and EENS with Cushingism.
The Left does not really believe in the freedom of expression and belief.Satan will not tolerate it. Satan used those slogans on liberty  in the past to get his message across and consolidate error in the Catholic Church and society.
SHEPHERDS STILL ASLEEP
But now even though the shepherds in the Church are asleep, people know that there is an alternative interpretation of Vatican Council II and extra ecclesiam nulla salus- and it is rational.
Discerning Catholics know that the present Vatican theology on Vatican Council II is false, a deception and based on fantasy and non reality.Fifty years of confusion is beginning to crumble and the liberals and Masons can no more use the Council as a reference for change.
PAST ECCLESIOCENTRISM ON OTHER RELIGIONS
Vatican Council II ( AG 7, LG 14) tells us all Jews are oriented to Hell, without 'faith and baptism'-unless of course Lumen Gentium 16 ( being saved in invincible ignorance) refers to known exceptions in 2017.Visible in the flesh people seen without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church.Then the Council can be interpreted as saying not every one needs to enter the Church.
PAST ECCLESIOCENTRISM ON ECUMENISM
Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) indicates all non Catholics, without Catholic faith ( which include the Sacraments and the faith and moral teachings of the Church, according to Tradition) are on the way to Hell.Protestants, Orthodox Christians, Pentecostals and Jehovah's Witnesses are going to Hell, according to Vatican Council II (Feeneyite) - unless of course, LG 16, LG 8, UR 3 etc refer to objective cases in 2017 saved without the baptism of water in the Catholic Church. Then they do not have to convert into the Church for salvation, they could be among the exceptions and we would have Vatican Council II ( Cushingite).The Council is interpreted with a different theology.
Vatican Council II(Feeneyite) has no exceptions and it is  harmony with the traditional, centuries old interpretation of the dogma EENS ( Feeneyite)
MAGISTERIUM OF DOCUMENTS
The magisterium of Church documents in 2017, interpreted with Feeneyism,is in accord with the magisterium of the 16th century.This is the magisterium of the texts and not that of the popes and the people at the Vatican.It is not the magisterium of people in the present times,today. We have to make the distincition here.The magisterium of the texts, the magisterial documents,  is not in harmony with the Vatican Curia today in Rome, the magisterium of people.
So we have a choice. We are either faithful to the magisterium of the Church documents or the magisterium of the ecclesiastics at the Vatican in rebellion with Jesus and his one, true Church.
So when I say that I follow the present magisterium(which is a vague phrase) I mean the magisterium of the Church documents ( Vatican Council II, the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1995 etc) in 2017 -and the magisterium of the Church documents ( of texts) and that of the hierarchy ( of persons, ecclesiastics) in the 16th century.
PRESENT MAGISTERIUM REJECTS MAGISTERIUM OF DOCUMENTS
I am not following the magisterium of the hierarchy in 2017 ( Vatican Curia) which has rejected the magisterium of the Church documents ( texts), interpreted with Feeneyism, and the magisterium of the past e.g of the 16th century or that of the Church Fathers.
Now we simply say Vatican Council II is Feeneyite!- and the magisterium of people at the Vatican in 2017 cannot respond.They have to pretend that I (Lionel) do not exist otherwise people may come to the truth which they hide.
They cannot deny what I say.
MAGISTERIUM OF CHURCH DOCUMENTS INTERPRETED WITH FEENEYISM
I affirm the magisterium of Church documents but interpreted with a different theology and I am in accord with the magisterium of the persons and Church documents of Tradition.
They interpret present day Church documents with Cushingism which is a rupture with the Church documents and magisterium of the people of the past, over the centuries.
I AFFIRM MAGISTERIAL DOCUMENTS BUT WITH FEENEYISM
So I am a Catholic who interprets magisterial documents with the theology and philosophy of Feeneyism and I reject the interpretation of magisterium documents with irrational Cushingism, by the Vatican Curia(the magisterium of people, Cushingites).
VATICAN CURIA NEEDS TO USE RATIONAL THEOLOGY
When they affirm magisterial documents with Feeneyism, instead of Cushingism, then we will be in harmony.
They have no answer.They cannot deny what I write here.They are irrational and are depending on a false innovation in the Church which is not really magisterial.It cannot be the work of the Holy Spirit.The Holy Spirit cannot make an objective  mistake.

The Vortex—Fringe and Extreme



http://www.churchmilitant.com/video/episode/vortex-fringe-and-extreme

Noticed on Monday, the USCCB version of this Gospel left off the fasting part.

From the Gospel according to Matthew  9:14-29 ( February 20, 2017)

And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?  Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you. But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.  [17:14-20 DR]

GospelMK 9:14-29

As Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, John
and approached the other disciples,
they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them.
Immediately on seeing him,
the whole crowd was utterly amazed.
They ran up to him and greeted him. 
He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
Someone from the crowd answered him,
"Teacher, I have brought to you my son possessed by a mute spirit.
Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down;
he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid.
I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so."
He said to them in reply,
"O faithless generation, how long will I be with you?
How long will I endure you? Bring him to me." 
They brought the boy to him.
And when he saw him,
the spirit immediately threw the boy into convulsions.
As he fell to the ground, he began to roll around 
and foam at the mouth. 
Then he questioned his father,
"How long has this been happening to him?" 
He replied, "Since childhood.
It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill him.
But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."
Jesus said to him,
"'If you can!' Everything is possible to one who has faith."
Then the boy's father cried out, "I do believe, help my unbelief!"
Jesus, on seeing a crowd rapidly gathering,
rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it,
"Mute and deaf spirit, I command you:
come out of him and never enter him again!"
Shouting and throwing the boy into convulsions, it came out.
He became like a corpse, which caused many to say, "He is dead!"
But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
When he entered the house, his disciples asked him in private,
"Why could we not drive the spirit out?"
He said to them, "This kind can only come out through prayer."
