Chapter 10: The Final Exorcism

Father Roberts placed his hand on Sarah's forehead and said, "KYRIE ELEISON. God, our Lord, King of Ages, All-powerful and Almighty, You who made everything and Who transforms everything simply by Your will. You Who in Babylon changed into dew the flames of the "seven-time hotter" furnace and protected and saved the three holy children. You are the doctor and physician of our souls. You are the salvation of those who turn to You. We beseech You to make powerless, banish and drive out every diabolical power, presence and machination; every evil influence, malefice or evil eye and all evil actions aimed against your servant…Where there is envy and malice, give us an abundance of goodness, endurance, victory and charity. O Lord, You who love man, we beg you to reach out Your powerful hands and Most high and mighty arms and come to our aid."

At that moment, the crucifix on the wall glowed and blood-red light emitted from the wounds on Christ's feet, hands and side. Sarah screamed loudly and all of a sudden, a great being of light, in the shape of a man appeared in the middle of the room accompanied by two angels with six wings each (two spread out, two covering their face and two covering their feet). The figure in the middle had light coming out of two holes in His feet, two in His hands and one on His side. As He approached Sarah, she screamed at it, in the inhuman voice, "This whore is MINE."

The figure just answered, "She is does not belong to you Satan, she belongs to My Father…now depart."

Sarah screamed:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," and then…silence.

She had passed out; the three figures were gone and on the wall was written:

THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDA HATH CONQUERED.

Several days later:

Sarah was back to normal; Harry, Ron and Hermione were all gathered in Father Roberts office reading a letter:

To Whom It May Concern: If you are reading this, I am miles away and I do not want anyone to worry, for I have put my life in the hands of the Lord. I am writing to tell you, if you are ever alone or feel abandoned, the Lord is with you. Let me tell you a story; Last night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonged to me, the other to the Lord.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of suffering, when you could see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

Until we meet in Heaven;

Father Raphael Roberts.
