Part of it is due, I suppose, to his having written a book about exorcism for Ignatius (fair enough, that’s his area of competence).

A reader writes: Please add my 19 year old son to your list of prayer requests. He was involved in a fatal farming accident a week ago. He is physically unhurt but witnessed the woman’s death and feels somewhat responsible even though he did nothing wrong. He blames himself for not warning her more forcefully of the danger. Thank you. Father, grant your complete healing to this boy’s soul and eternal life to the woman who died. Mother Mary, pray... Read more
