In holy obedience I omit my name, and with great sorrow and sadness for my spiritual blindness, I begin this testimony, and may it be the Holy Spirit Himself who enlightens me and opens the eyes of the many people who are where I once was, so that they may turn away and become aware of the danger this represents for the greatest treasure we all have, which is our soul…….
I am a young, pretty, active person, and in my life God has been very generous with me; I have never lacked anything, and being very ungrateful, I took it as if it were because I deserved it….. It all began with a deep depression that had no cause or reason whatsoever; I began to feel that life had no meaning, I had lost hope and joy, and I only wanted to disappear. My family, in their great eagerness to help me, kept offering me many alternatives…
I remember that one of the first was that my aunt’s husband was a friend of a lady who was a medium of Brother José Gregorio Hernández(1), and he told me that he could get me out of that problem….. When this lady came to my house, she performed on me a supposed cleansing rite with some plants, and so we began to talk; she told me to stay in contact with her and to consult her about anything important….. right from the start I began to get into spiritism and santería, in my great ignorance, without knowing their consequences…… The following year, when I was finishing my degree, the depression reappeared; it had partly to do with the stress that many feel about the future, but the greater part of my depression, of which I was not aware at that moment, was that I was living in mortal sin. I know that for many, as for me at that instant, it did not even cross my mind that this had anything to do with it.
Once again, the help that appeared this time from my friends was not the most spiritual; on the contrary, it kept destroying my soul like a silent cancer whose only symptom was sadness….this time the great solution was to go to a very well-known man who read the cards…the result was the same, because as this man sat in front of me he said to me…. “the thing is you don’t believe in this.” My illness kept growing because, even though I did not believe, my soul kept getting sicker and sicker with these sins for having agreed to go and for not trusting in the infinite power of God.
Finally, my mother, in her anguish, consulted a psychologist who, thank God, was a committed and practising Catholic. He gave me several tests, we spoke several times, and he told me that the problem was not intellectual, because I had shown an above-normal intelligence, and that my studies were fine, in line with what I wanted and with my abilities; but that he did see a psychological problem being caused by the relationship I had at that time. He advised me to leave my boyfriend (I must clarify that the first to suggest it to me was my mother, with her maternal instinct, and she had never said anything like that to me, but in my unhealthy attachment I had not listened to her), and, as the perfect solution, he asked me how long it had been since I had confessed. I told him since my First Communion. He suggested, as therapy, that I join a prayer group and go to confession immediately with a priest he recommended to me. The priest, may God keep him in His Glory, the best blessing and medicine he could have given me, told me: leave your boyfriend and sin no more.
Finally I had the courage to leave him, and my life improved enormously; of course, my confession had been incomplete, because I had not mentioned the matter of the cards and santería, which I did not know were sins…. This had repercussions a few months later, almost at my graduation: the depression returned, and this time stronger; I would spend the whole day crying and could not sleep. Once again I went to the psychologist, and he recommended that I take a small amount of sleeping pills, but he told me to take only what he prescribed, because they are addictive and I did not need a greater quantity… At the same time, in my anxiety and despair, I consulted a psychiatrist who immediately prescribed pills to sedate me, and that really did make things worse, because instead of solving the problem he tried to numb it, numbing me, practically like a zombie, and a great contradiction between the psychiatrist and the psychologist.
I grew tired of so much struggle, and another friend came with the worst solution anyone can be given, which was: I am going to take you to a centre where you learn to heal yourself and where they teach you to overcome any problem. Without realizing it, I was giving my consent for the evil one to seize my soul and do with it whatever he wished. I entered a programme called Desarrollo del Potencial Humano Integral, in Bogotá, whose courses are extremely expensive and whose only aim, pursued with great skill, is to rob you of your faith. They start by giving you some relaxation courses which at the same time they mix with mantras, which are repetitions of certain sounds that are, in turn, invocations that obviously do not work with God at all, but with spirits. Once you are learning to accept yourself and to accept your problems, they tell you many truths taken precisely from the Bible, but at the same time they tell you a great lie, namely that the evil one does not exist, that God loves us very much and would never allow anyone to harm us, and that for this reason the Devil does not exist…..a great lie so as to be able to get in and lay waste to everything that is in your soul…they keep confusing you and, moreover, they ask you to choose a master with whom you will be from now on; I chose Jesus and the Blessed Virgin. They did not deny that Jesus was a master, but they do deceive others by saying that there are more masters of His same level.
They are very cunning, for the evil one is the great imitator and the great liar; there is no one who knows the truth and the Bible better than the evil one in order to confuse, and this is what those of the so-called New Age do. They take advantage of our great ignorance and lukewarmness in order to snatch us away with lies. Once this door is opened, they begin to introduce meditación trascendental which is nothing other than working with spirits in an unconscious state of meditation; yoga, which many see as something useful for the body, is a technique that lulls your soul and your faith to sleep, using different sounds and at the same time hypnotizing you,reiki, a supposed healing with the hands through the energy you have. I do not deny that gifts of healing with the hands exist, because I know they do, but those come only from God and are used in His name and for His Glory, not for one’s own glory, and much less by using false invocations, spirits and signs.
You cannot begin to imagine how dangerous all of this is. To open a small door to the evil one is to open the door to the worst cancer that can exist, because it acts silently and destroys and snatches away your soul completely until it can do no more. And the worst part is that you do not realize it and you are like a zombie, like a walking corpse, kept blind by its false peace based on its lies….
God, in His infinite mercy and Love, and like a good Father, in love with all His children and their souls, allows many things to happen in order to recover them and thus to bring about the salvation and healing of our souls. He, knowing my stubbornness and my pride, and my great spiritual blindness because of all this lie in which I was living, allowed a hard blow in my life in order to show me His infinite mercy and forgiveness.
My father was kidnapped and, contrary to what many might think, from that point the blessings began, because he was the little lamb who served so that all of us as a family would turn our eyes back to Him and fall on our knees to acknowledge Him as the only Lord and to implore His forgiveness for our sins. What God does, He does perfectly. He wants to hold us in His hands always, and I do not doubt for a single instant that He was protecting him, together with the Blessed Virgin, every day, and did not allow anything bad to happen to him.
In the meantime, He gave us the best bath that anyone can have, and it is the bath of grace through confession. Providentially, a priest who had been recommended to us came to my house. He came to hear the confession of each one of us, and my confession alone lasted at least 2 and a half hours. Imagine how dirty I was and how clean I ended up, because it was a pressure bath, cleansing from the deepest wound and freeing all these bonds that I had with the evil one. I tell you that throughout the whole confession I wept from my heart and with sorrow for my sins, and the priest also wept with me, something I did not understand until, much later, I realized that he had the gift of sensing whether a person was truly repentant of their sins. God bless him. Pilgrim images of Our Lady in all her titles began to rain down. There was not one week of the 11 months that my father was kidnapped in which Our Lady was not with us. At the same time, He began to surround us with good and holy friendships. As soon as I began to attend the prayer groups, everyone prayed for my father day and night. He also placed me under the care of some very holy Franciscan priests who taught me a great deal. One of their holy teachings is that there is no greater liberation than confession. If psychologists and psychiatrists accepted this and put it into practice, there would be fewer deranged and sick people in the hospitals, because there are many who are possessed….., they also taught me the power of the prayer of the Holy Rosary, of daily Communion and of fasting, among other things. I also want to share with you that, during this process, when I entered the prayer group and began to pray the Rosary, I went to visit a certain friend of mine who performed prayers linked to the “white brotherhood,” which are nothing but evil spirits. Believe me, I tried every means to speak with him, but it was impossible for me; I went looking for him, I called him on the telephone, I left him messages, and finally I bought him a phone card so that he could call me on my mobile, and not even that. One day I ran into him, and the first thing he said to me was, “you are praying the rosary, aren’t you?” I told him yes, and he said, it shows. They can clearly identify it, because the Rosary is the greatest weapon to defeat Satan, and he himself is afraid of the Rosary; later I understood that it was because of the Holy Rosary that he could not come near me……
I conclude by letting you know that until two months ago I had — I hope it was the last — a liberation by exorcism with priests authorized for this, and I was hospitalized in a clinic for patients with mental illnesses and, obviously, treated by doctors who kept me sedated the whole time. They told my parents that I was deranged, when in reality I was suffering greatly because I was possessed, and I felt and saw all the pain of my sin and the demons that surrounded the people there…..that is why I speak about this subject with authority…..
I give thanks to God and to the Blessed Virgin for having allowed me to share this testimony with you, all for His Glory, and for having surrounded me with holy priests, religious sisters and committed lay people…. Let us be Saints….for God nothing is impossible……and if He did it with me, He will also do it with you. Just open your heart, be humble and go constantly to confession with true repentance of heart……
God has never abandoned us, nor will He abandon us. God returned my father to us safe and sound without paying a single peso; according to the promise of Our Lady, she kept him always protected, and she confirmed it to us on the day of his rescue with these words, which I share with you because they are not mine but hers, and for the greater Glory of God: “I have rescued my little Pedro Pablo, because all those who consecrate themselves to my Immaculate Heart, I will never forsake.”….May God bless you and may the Most Holy Virgin protect you under her mantle and keep you in her Immaculate Heart.
