A little over a week ago I learned something that shook my being. I was at a gathering and was talking to someone when I overheard the words “black mass.” I stopped in mid conversation and asked “What is a black mass?” thinking it had something to do with the Catholic Church and wondered what this could be considering I have been within this faith tradition for a long while and never heard this before.

Well, it is a satanic ceremony which desecrates a consecrated host!! In an instant I was horrified, shocked, grieved, bewildered, filled with sorrow and at a loss of clear thinking. I could hardly hold back the tears I felt welling up in my soul. I don’t understand!! Why? Who? How come?

I decided to find out if this was a true thing. I went to my computer and sure enough it was there. From what I read they, for lack of better language, say the Mass backwards. I couldn’t watch any videos they had posted because I just didn’t want that in my memory forever. I have been disturbed very deeply.

I do have a couple of initial thoughts…

How did a Consecrated Host get into their hands? Did a Judas go to receive Holy Communion during Holy Mass and just put our Lord in his pocket and walk out the doors of church and hand Jesus over to people that hate Him? I wonder what that Judas received for turning Jesus over? Was it $30.00? Did this Judas feel guilty or have any remorse after completing the task? What of this black mass (our Holy Mass being said backwards)…Are they trying to turn the host into bread? Are they trying to take Jesus out and trying to put satan into the bread?

I cannot understand why, who or how come but, I do know they must truly believe Jesus is present in the Blessed Sacrament. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense to go through all of the trouble of getting a Consecrated Host or to organize such gatherings (not that it makes sense). Another thing they do not understand, no matter what they do to the precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament absolutely no one can remove the goodness (not even a good and holy Catholic priest). The evil one and its followers do not have the capacity to change Christ!!!!

Don’t think that evil takes only those with simple minds. Even satan worshipers have a college degree.

Let us take a moment and pray.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Evil has failed and Christ has prevailed!!!
