Fr Rookley was a magnificent priest. He was a prophetic priest as well. I remember he made a prophecy on me years ago which I thought not possible. His prophecy was dead correct years later something that I was unable to see. Also a great healing priest, wish there was more of likes similar priests to Fr Rooney nowadays. What surprised me was that he was small which I didn't expect to see in the first place. It was a humbling experience.
Sanctus, Based on my experience, I suggest placing this shaman in the Sacred Heart of Jesus - as often as your anger 'brings' him to you. No need to do very much; just 'put' him inside the Heart of Jesus each time you think of him or remember what he did to you. A few years ago, I was facing serious issues with a colleague at work. I discerned that it was due to that person's strong anti-life stance (so to speak). She was a marriage wrecker, a home wrecker and very pro-abortion - and was getting increasingly hostile towards me because I think she sensed where I stood on all of those issues. Then one day in June, I had a particularly difficult work day with this woman. After that, I was struggling to forgive her; the anger kept coming back, kept rising. Suddenly, I had a strong urge to pray to Mother Teresa for help. It was a bit odd because I don't usually pray to Mother Teresa. But I did anyway. What I didn't expect was to hear the saint's voice in my heart. She clearly said to me: …. is troubling you because she has no home. And it was interiorly communicated to me that the best home for this woman was the Sacred Heart of Jesus. To this day, I'm not sure what she has no home means. But that day years ago, the moment I heard St Teresa of Calcutta, the anger vanished, and I prayed intensively, placing the woman in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And continued to do so long afterwards. I don't know whether she has changed in any way. But I do know that God would not lead you to a prayer for nothing.
I've not had THIS sort of experience, nor the depth of a reaction. However, I might be able to relate on some level. In 2006, I made the acquaintance of an Anglican priest at that parish. We had an affinity like older sister / younger brother. Totally platonic. I only saw him during church with his wife and children around. Mostly I did not interact with him, person-to-person, for not wanting to encourage gossip. My husband had said he'd join me in worship there. He did not. My impression of this priest and wife was that he was committed. She wasn't. Another impression was that they were new to this parish. Strangers to the parish and parishoners to them (if this sounds weird, it's because these people weren't very forthcoming or communicative). Well it turned out they were MEMBERS of this parish. About two years into worshipping there, he claimed a call to the ministry. The parish packed them off, supplied them with lots of $$$$, and five years later they returned to this parish with him as Youth Minister. He'd been serving as Youth Minister about six months when I began attending this parish (an absolute stranger to everyone there). It turned out that he DIDN'T want to be a minister. Lots of surprising (negative) behaviors. And just as his wife DID start engaging with people. What's all this to me? Well some garbage heads got the notion that I was attending that parish because of him. NOT TRUE. The gossipers were so two-faced and outwardly silent, that I wasn't aware until too late. The gossip went on and on. I mean literally for years. I was galled beyond belief. It took five years to truly forgive and let go. p.s. - a word of advice to women under 55 attending church alone: Don't. You're probably "Jezebel" to the goblins in other peoples' minds.
Interesting that since I decided to forgive this man yesterday the situation seems to have improved. Also, I'm experiencing alot less of that terrible dread that I was experiencing for a long time about the future. It was a horrible anxiety that was going on for the past number of months that was nearly incapacitating at times. Seems to have eased up a bit, thank God! Beginning to realise that this anger was eating me up for years and am now deciding to let go of it. Unfortunately there were energies and channels opened up however with this nonsense that seem to be taking along time to heal: "chakras", indian spirits etc.
Unfortunately often people with underlying wounds or hurts seem to be prey to these practitioners, or any other form of predator for that matter. It's almost as if they have a demonic intelligence that can sense it.
It's difficult when one's trust has been completely violated. I nearly lost all faith and didn't trust anyone for quite a while after. The magnitude of their unfairness astounded me. If this had happened to a woman with severe emotional issues or a tendency for violence with a liking for revenge, she might've not merely walked away. We briefly attended a different church after. Gossip hounds and peculiar troublemakers. We left. Its playground equipment was burned at one point, and later a suspicious package was found at its main entrance during a brief spate of pipe bombings here. It's just NOT WISE to deliberately make other people mad, to violate trust, etc.
Had strange nightmares last night. Woke up at 3.15am. Perhaps it was an attack from the enemy with the day that's in it - the anniversary of Medjugorje apparitions. I know from what I experienced the first time I went that something didn't want me going there. In the city that I flew out the first time on the first night before going there came under very heavy attack spiritually. Thought I was coming down with psychosis or schiziophrenia the day before flying out to Medjugorje the first time, realized later it was a spiritual attack. I remember the week after getting back from Medjugorje experienced deep healing in an area where it was badly needed and had an overwhelming feeling of Our Lady's presence. Seeing Vicka speak out there the first time was a profound experience too. Medjugorje has been like a second home since or more like a first home even! It has been a real game-changer in returning to the Faith.
I find very,very often in my sleep that the demons can annoy us by affecting our Dreams. They can also do this even when awake by influencing our imaginations as well, especially when we are alone are in a frightening situation, are unwell or in a lonely place. Even if you look up at the clouds you see that the demons (the spirits of the sir) have been painting up there in the cloud shapes. I had a dream the other night that I was in a Church and a wonderful old gentleman as teaching me about Swallows. He even had a picture display on which was various depictions of the little birds and was describing to me how down history these birds were symbolic in Christian art and iconography. At one point in my dream a little Swallow flew down and landed on my shoulder quite happily. But then a little later a bird landed on my mouth and I woke up with a shock when I discover the bird was covered with wasps. I nearly hit the ceiling. But here I find the fun thing. I had never heard before my dream that Swallows were a Christian symbol. So now I am going to my Faithful Google to see.....
http://www.catholic-saints.info/catholic-symbols/swallow-christian-symbol.htm Ahh, the bible describes the little Swallow as , 'The bird of Freedom'. How lovely. 'Catholic Christian symbolism in art provides a clear graphic illustration which represents people or items of religious significance and often appears in paintings of the Annunciation and the Nativity..' The meanings, origins and ancient traditions surrounding Christian symbols date back to early times when the majority of ordinary people were not able to read or write and printing was unknown. Many were 'borrowed' or drawn from early pre-Christian traditions. The Definition and Meaning of the Swallow as a Catholic Christian Symbol Catholic Christian symbolism in art provides a clear graphic illustration which represents people or items of religious significance and often appears in paintings of the Annunciation and the Nativity.. What is the definition and the meaning of the Swallow? The swallow is any one of numerous species of passerine birds of the family Hirundinid, specially one of those species in which the tail is deeply forked. They have long, pointed wings, and are noted for the swiftness and gracefulness of their flight. The Swallow Christian Symbol represents the Incarnation of Jesus and the Resurrection, as it appears every spring to announce its arrival. Reference to the Swallow Christian Symbol in the Bible The Easton Bible Dictionary provides the following definition, meaning and emblem for the Swallow Christian Symbol in the Bible. (1.) Heb. sis (Isa. 38:14; Jer. 8:7), the Arabic for the swift, which "is a regular migrant, returning in myriads every spring, and so suddenly that while one day not a swift can be seen in the country, on the next they have overspread the whole land, and fill the air with their shrill cry." The swift (cypselus) is ordinarily classed with the swallow, which it resembles in its flight, habits, and migration. (2.) Heb. deror, i.e., "the bird of freedom" (Ps. 84:3; Prov. 26:2), properly rendered swallow, distinguished for its swiftness of flight, its love of freedom, and the impossibility of retaining it in captivity. In Isa. 38:14 and Jer. 8:7 the word thus rendered ('augr) properly means "crane" (as in the R.V.).

I have been subject to dreams like these my whole life. Especially in childhood. Attack dreams and blessing dreams. I have taken to consecration of my dreams to the Sacred Heart. Very few attack dreams squeak through now.
https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/...onna-della-rondine-the-madonna-of-the-swallow The Madonna of the Swallows. This large altarpiece was painted by Carlo Crivelli in 1491 for a family chapel in the Franciscan church in Matelica, a small town in the Italian Marches. The Ottoni were the local ruling family – you can see their coat of arms placed conspicuously on the bottom edge of the main panel. The location heavily influenced the altarpiece’s design. The Ottoni chapel was tall and needed a tall altarpiece: including the frame and predella (the bottom tier) the painting is approximately 2.5 metres high. There was a large window on the back wall of the chapel – which was unusual – so the altar and altarpiece had to be on the side walls. This painting was on the left wall; the light in it comes from the upper right, mimicking the actual light in the chapel.
The devil is a slave of Jesus. St Paul tells us this when he say that all things have been put under his feet. So even if he attacks those who love Jesus it becomes an actual grace. One of the blessings I find in being attacked is that it wakes me up to supernatural realities. To use a modern turn of phrase it brings me an , 'Awoke', moment. Ephesians 1:22 Spiritual Wisdom …21far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. 22And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church, 23which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.…
Right before I awoke this morning, I heard a loud voice clearly in my dream announce "The whole world will soon go quiet." Then I woke up immediately. ??? Perhaps one large, sudden event will occur that will make the whole world stop, think, and pause for moment.
I regularly see the number 33 and 39. My spiritual advisor says it's Jesus saying to "keep going". Was dealing with very severe trepidation and anxiety for much of the year. Seems to be a bit easier now, but staying on guard all the same. Hopefully everything will be OK, get horrible fears about something happening alot, for some reason.
