Looks like people in Portland are calling in any and all reinforcements for the upcoming craziness.
From the Catholic News Agency:
Portland archdiocese holds rosary, Eucharistic procession for peace
The Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon held a Eucharistic procession through the city on Saturday for the intention of peace in the city.
Praying before the exposed Blessed Sacrament during the Oct. 17 event, Archbishop Alexander Sample said: “Mary, your son is the Prince of Peace. Through your intercession, may he bring peace to our cities and our communities, may his peace reign in our hearts.”
All well and good but then, they slipped this little bit into the story:
The prayers began with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, followed by a procession to the North Park Blocks, where the archbishop led a rosary and performed an exorcism. Archbishop Sample prayed over the city the “Exorcism Against Satan and the Fallen Angels” from the Roman Ritual.
Emphasis mine. I have to say this. They are certainly on the mark here. Talk about forces of darkness. There is a 1964 version of this rite but I prefer the traditional one - one line from the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel comes to mind:
On men depraved in mind and corrupt in heart the wicked dragon pours out like a most foul river, the poison of his villainy, a spirit of lying, impiety and blasphemy, and the deadly breath of lust and of all iniquities and vices.
This is an excellent one as well:
Beseech the God of Peace to crush Satan under our feet, that he may no more be able to hold men captive and to harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that the mercies of the Lord may quickly come to our aid, that thou mayest seize the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and satan and that having bound him, thou mayest cast him into the bottomless pit, so that he may no more seduce the nations.
We are seeing this with the Democratic Party in the last 20 years. They have lost their way. Globalization and centralized banking are other manifestations of this corruption. This truly is a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil. The lines are clearly drawn and it is time to choose our destiny. It is especially telling that Satan has routinely quoted scripture and here, on October 6th, Joe Biden said during a campaign speech at the Gettysburg Battlefield (17:46 in):
Today, we’re engaged, once again, in the battle for the soul of the nation, the forces of darkness, the forces of division, the forces of yesterday are pulling us apart, holding us down and holding us back.
Who are these forces of darkness Joe? You and Obama created the racial divide - you own this. You enabled Antifa. The hatred towards the police is all your doing. Joe - you own this.
This is a time for cleansing but it is not the sort of cleansing that the Democrats want or expecting.
They are looking to clean up - all the way to the bank.
