In this video we share Pope John Paul II the Exorcist.
The Pope’s 1986 encyclical on The Holy Spirit (Dominum Et Vivificantem) teaches, “Not only the devil is involved in spiritual warfare, but the Holy Spirit is equally involved, or more involved in it, bringing men and women of goodwill the ability to overcome evil in their lives, so that they too can say: “Where evil abounded, grace super-abounded! ” (Romans 5:20).
”On the subject of spiritual warfare, Pope John Paul II placed a fresh, strong emphasis on the role of the Holy Spirit.
Priest exorcists and their teams rely fully on the Holy Spirit in every case where liberation from evil spirits is required.
According to interviews with Rome’s chief exorcist, Father Amorth, (quoted in José Maria Zavala’s book "This is How you Defeat the Devil") Pope John Paul II carried out at least two or more exorcisms against “extremely powerful demons”.
Father Gabriel says: “I remember it perfectly.
I know Francesca, the young lady who was present that morning during the Papal Audience at the Vatican.
Previously, the bishop of the girl’s diocese asked the Pope if he would be willing to perform an exorcism on her, and he gave his consent without hesitation.
The Pope proceeded immediately to do the exorcism, in his private chapel in the Vatican.
Francesca did nothing but spit, writhe, and crawl on the ground.
The people around the Pope could not believe their eyes: ‘We have never seen a scene like the ones described in the Gospel’, they admitted.
Indeed, John Paul II said: ‘Everything that happens in the Gospels still happens today’. ”
Regarding the other exorcism, it would be too much for this brief reflection.
But as a final point, Father Amorth remembers that he once asked the devil why he was so afraid of John Paul II, “He told me that this had happened for two reasons: first, because the Pope had foiled his plans with the fall of communism in Europe.
And then because he had snatched the souls of many young people during his papacy. ”
Perhaps some were already Christian but not practicing, but then with John Paul II they came back to the practice.
In John Paul II’s own words: “Begone, Satan! ’
The Messiah’s resolute attitude is an example and an invitation for us to follow him with courageous determination.
The devil, the “prince of this world”, even today continues his deceitful action.
Every man, over and above his own concupiscence and the bad example of others, is also tempted by the devil, and the more so when he is least aware of it.”
