Dangers of Parent's Curses On Their Children


DANGERS OF BEING CURSED BY PARENTS

A mother brought her possessed child to Padre Pio. The child was howling in the Church making a commotion. He helped free the child from the demon and then told the mother "Tell your husband not to curse or the demon will return."
Children never anger your parents even his mind fails, be considerate to them.
(STORY OF PADRE PIO)

Here are seven dangers of being cursed by parents, as noted by exorcists:
1. Fr. Gabriele Amorth: "One can be struck by evil because of a curse from one's parents."
2. Fr. Chad Ripperger : "If one is cursed by one's parents, then it can have a very serious effect upon a person."
3. Fr. Jose Antonio Fortea: "Curses pronounced by one's parents can cause serious harm to the person cursed."
4. Fr. Malachi Martin : "The curses of parents can have profound and lasting effects on their children's lives."
5. Fr. Gary Thomas: "Curses from parents can open up a person to spiritual attack and influence."
6. Fr. Francesco Bamonte: "Curses from parents can lead to a variety of spiritual and psychological problems."
7. Fr. Jose Francisco Syquia: "Being cursed by one's parents can lead to a life of hardship and suffering."
In addition to these dangers, it is important to remember the wisdom of honoring and obeying one's parents. Happy children are often obedient children, and accepting one's cross and suffering can lead to spiritual growth and maturity.


Holy Remedy:
If one believes they have been cursed by their parents and wishes to renounce this curse in front of the Blessed Sacrament, they can use the following Catholic prayer (But it is advisable that one Must make a General and Good Confession and receive the Holy Eucharist in tongue and kneeling to make it efficient)
 
Prayer Against Parental Curses:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
I renounce any curse that has been spoken over by my parents, whether knowingly or unknowingly. I renounce any negative words, intentions, or actions that have been directed towards me. I ask for God's forgiveness and mercy for any way in which I may have contributed to these curses through my own actions or attitudes.

Mama Mary, intercede for me with your motherly love and protection. May the Most Precious Blood of Jesus wash away any curse or negativity that has been spoken against me that cause oppression in my life, my relationship, my property and my family.

Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I place my trust in Your divine mercy and ask for Your healing and protection.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend me in battle. Be my safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May you, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Guardian Angel, watch over me and guide me. Help me to renounce these curses with sincerity and to walk in the light of God's love and truth.

I make this renunciation and prayer in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in the Real Presence of my Lord Jesus Christ, asking for God's grace and protection in my life. I also resolve to make a general confession of all my sins, seeking God's forgiveness and healing in all areas of my life.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." 3x

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. 3x

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. 3x

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. 3x

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."


Responsibilities Of Children to Parents
(Sirach 3)
1
Children, listen to me, your father;
act accordingly, that you may be safe.
2
For the Lord sets a father in honor over his children
and confirms a mother’s authority over her sons.
3
Those who honor their father atone for sins;
4
Those store up riches who respect their mother.
5
Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children,
and when they pray they are heard.
6
Those who respect their father will live a long life;
those who obey the Lord honor their mother.
7
Those who fear the Lord honor their father,
and serve their parents as masters.
8
In word and deed honor your father,
that all blessings may come to you.a
9
A father’s blessing gives a person firm roots,
but a mother’s curse uproots the growing plant.
10
Do not glory in your father’s disgrace,
for that is no glory to you!
11
A father’s glory is glory also for oneself;
they multiply sin who demean their mother.
12
My son, be steadfast in honoring your father;
do not grieve him as long as he lives.
13
Even if his mind fails, be considerate of him;
do not revile him because you are in your prime.
14
Kindness to a father will not be forgotten;
it will serve as a sin offering—it will take lasting root.
15
In time of trouble it will be recalled to your advantage,
like warmth upon frost it will melt away your sins.
16
Those who neglect their father are like blasphemers;
those who provoke their mother are accursed by their Creator.

CATHOLIC PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE AND PROTECTION


 Here's a Catholic prayer for deliverance and protection:

"Heavenly Father, I come before you in humble submission, seeking your deliverance and protection. I acknowledge my dependence on your love and mercy, and I ask for your grace to overcome the challenges and trials that I face.

In the name of Jesus, I renounce any bondages, strongholds, or negative influences that may have a hold on me. I invite your Holy Spirit to fill me, to cleanse me, and to empower me with your divine strength.

Lord, I pray for your protection over every aspect of my life. Guard me against the snares of the enemy and shield me from harm. Surround me with your heavenly angels, who are mighty in power and ready to defend me.

I ask for deliverance from any evil spirits or demonic forces that may be oppressing me. By the authority of Jesus Christ, I command every unclean spirit to leave and never return. I invite your Holy Spirit to fill the empty places and bring forth your light and peace.

Heavenly Father, I trust in your providence and your wisdom. Help me to discern right from wrong, to choose what is pleasing to you, and to resist the temptations that may come my way. Strengthen me in faith, hope, and love.

Grant me the courage to walk in righteousness, even when the path is difficult. Give me the grace to forgive those who have wronged me and to seek reconciliation where possible. Help me to extend your love and mercy to others.

Lord, I place my life and all my concerns into your loving hands. I surrender my fears, anxieties, and burdens to you, knowing that you are my refuge and strength. May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

I make this prayer in the holy name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints. Amen."

Remember, prayer is a personal conversation with God, and you can always adapt or modify this prayer to suit your own specific needs and circumstances.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL FOR PROTECTION

 



PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL FOR PROTECTION (IV)


Dear Saint Michael, the Archangel, protect us, both body and soul from the Evil One, his followers and anyone who would approach us with malicious intent. Protect us, our bodies, and our cars (vehicles) as we travel about in our daily activities. Protect us, our bodies, our home, our property, and possessions from all demonic retaliation.


Father, if there are unholy angels in, on, near, or around us, we nail and hold them fast, and silence them. We decommission, bind, and encapsulate them through the Power of the Shed Blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We bring them to Your presence immediately Lord to deal with as you see fit. May You fill any empty spaces and lonely places within us, with Your love and Your light. Thank you Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE DELIVERANCE OF YOURSELF OR PLACE FROM EVIL SPIRITS

 



PRAYER FOR THE DELIVERANCE OF YOURSELF OR PLACE FROM EVIL SPIRITS


Jesus Crucified, cover me, my family, my relatives, and friends, and all our possessions with your Precious Blood. (3x)


I put on God’s armor to resist the devil’s tactics. I stand my ground with truth buckled around my waist and integrity for a breastplate. I carry the shield of faith to put out the burning arrows of the evil one. I accept salvation of God to be my helmet and receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as a sword.


In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, through His tremendous power as God and through His most powerful and salvific name. I rebuke, repudiate, bind, and cast out all spirits not of the Holy Spirit. I command you in the name of Jesus, to depart now from (state name of person or place) and go immediately and directly to the foot of the Cross and never to return.


O Most Holy Spirit, enter into the empty spaces left by these spirits and fill (state name of person or place) with your presence, love, and protection. Please do not allow these spirits to return.


Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

For Healing and deliverance, keep repeating this prayer: "By the stripes and wounds of Jesus, I am healed..."





SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL PRAYER

May God rebuke him we humbly pray and though thou prince of the Heavenly host by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls..
 

 THE UNITY PRAYER GIVEN BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO ELIZABETH KINDELMANN

Our Lord Jesus Christ also taught Elizabeth a new prayer, and He invited her to propagate it, since He considers it to be a powerful means to blind Satan.

 Jesus: "This prayer is an instrument in your hands. By collaborating with Me, Satan will be blinded by it; and because of his blindness, souls will not be led into sin."

“My Adorable Jesus, May our feet journey together, 
May our hands gather in unity, 
May our hearts beat in unison, 
May our souls be in harmony, 
May our thoughts be as one, 
May our ears listen to the silence together, 
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other, 
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father. Amen. “

Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world.

CHAPLET OF ST. MICHAEL ARCHANGEL





CHAPLET OF
ST. MICHAEL ARCHANGEL



One day, Saint Michael the Archangel appeared to Antonia d'Astonac, a most devout Servant of God and told her that he wished to be honored by nine salutations corresponding to the nine Choirs of Angels, which should consist of one Our Father and three Hail Mary's in honor of each of the Angelic Choirs.


What is the chaplet in the Catholic Church?



A chaplet is a personal devotional prayer that can be prayed privately or in a group, out loud or silently, in a church or in an ordinary setting. There are different types of chaplets, and the two most common are the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.




Who is St Michael?


Saint Michael is an archangel, a spiritual warrior in the battle of good versus evil. He is considered a champion of justice, a healer of the sick, and the guardian of the Church. In art Saint Michael is depicted with a sword, a banner, or scales, and is often shown vanquishing Satan in the form of a dragon. Archangel Michael is the angel of protection. And you can call upon Michael for protection over every aspect there is to think of.



What happens when you pray the St Michael chaplet?


Praying the chaplet is said to provide the assistance from Saint Michael the Archangel and the company of one angel from each of the nine celestial choirs when approaching Holy Communion. Praying the
chaplet is also believed gradually to defeat demons and grant a Pure Heart thus delivering from Purgatory.



Promises of St. Michael


"Whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching the Holy Table, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for the daily recital of these nine salutations, he promised his continual assistance and that all the holy angels during life, and after death deliverance from Purgatory for themselves and all their relations."

How to pray the Chaplet of Michael Archangel

The Chaplet is begun by saying the following invocation on the medal:

"O God, come to my assistance!
O Lord, make haste to help me!

Glory Be...

Say 1 Our Father...

and 3 Hail Mary...

after each of the following nine salutations in honor of the nine Choir of Angels.

1.

in honor of the 9th Choir of Angels.

At the end, say 1 Our Father... on each of the 4 beads in honor of each of the following leading Angels: St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, our Guardian Angel.

guardian of souls,
vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King,
and our admirable conductor,
thou who dost shine with excellence and superhuman virtue,
vouchsafe to deliver us from all evil,
who turn to thee with confidence,
and enable us by thy gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Amen."

V. Pray for us, O Glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ.
R. That we may be made worthy of His Promises.

Prayer

"Almighty and everlasting God,
who by a prodigy of Goodness
and a merciful desire
for the salvation of all men,
has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael,
Prince of Thy Church,
make us worthy,
we beseech Thee,
to be delivered by his powerful protection
from all our enemies,
that none of them may harass us
at the hour of our death,
but that we may be conducted by him
into the august presence of Thy Divine Majesty.
This we beg through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen."

THE OUR FATHER PRAYER

THE LORD'S PRAYER
(THE OUR FATHER)

The Lord's Prayer, also known as the Our Father, was composed by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. This magnificent prayer beautifully reflects the wishes of its Divine Author. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount (pictured above) where it first appears in the Gospels (Matt 6:9-13): “When praying do not choose many words” (Matthew 6:7).

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.


In the final line Jesus echoes His own petition to His Heavenly Father in John’s Gospel: “I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil.” (John 17:15). Evil in the case refers both to the Evil One, Satan, and to the evils he brings about in this world. With the help of the Lord's Prayer we can better resist evil and prepare for Eternal Life with God in the world to come, in Heaven.
