Even Demons Believe!

Even Demons Believe and Tremble – A Story about the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist

It was almost 15 years ago. I was At Old St. Mary’s here in D.C. celebrating Mass in the Latin (Extraordinary Form). It was a solemn high Mass. I don’t suppose I thought it any different than most Sunday’s but something quite amazing was about to happen.

As directed I said the venerable words of Consecration in a low but distinct voice, Hoc est enim Corpus meum (For this is my Body). The bells rang as I genuflected.

But behind me a disturbance of some sort, a shaking or rustling in the front pews behind me to my right. And then a moaning or grumbling. What was that?

t did not really sound human, more like the grumbling of a large animal such as a boar or a bear, along with a plaintive moan that did not seem human. I elevated the host and wondered, “What was that?” Then silence.

But it was time for the consecration of the chalice.

Then, I heard another sound this time an undeniable moan and then a shriek as some one cried out: “Leave me alone Jesus! Why do you torture me!” Suddenly a scuffling as some one ran out with the groaning sound of having been injured. The back doors swung open, then closed. Then silence.

A short time ago while attending a new mass (novus ordo), the priest (who is the pastor) when doing the consecration prayers which is suppose to be said,

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR "MANY" UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.

This pastor said in his OWN words:

"This is the chalice of my blood, of the new and everlasting covenant, the mystery of faith, which shall be shed for you and for "EVERYONE". Do this in memory of me."

So was this mass VALID? In order for the mass to be Valid, there must be present...Form, Matter and Intention....Form being the use of the words as in the priests rubrics..the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.

Isn't this what Cardinal Arinze speaks about, when he says that "Today one must question the validity of these new masses."

Taken from the book ..AN EPITOME OF THE PRIESTLY LIFE

"My son, show reverence for my sanctuary. The people will be edified thereby and will follow thy example.
It is My sanctuary, not thine. Thou dost indeed preside there in a visible manner, but I in reality.
There thou art a priest and a pastor over the people, but nevertheless in my sight thou art but dust and ashes.
Thou hast the right to enter and ascend the altar, but nevertheless thou art unworthy of so great an office, and perhaps less worthy than thy flock.
Terrible is this place, my son. It is the house of God and gate of heaven. Enter it with fear and trembling.
Behold what manner of charity I have bestowed upon thee that thou shouldst be called and art my priest.
Grand and sublime is thy dignity, my son; nevertheless it will not sanctify thee, but thou shouldst sanctify it.
Honor, therefore, thy ministry. Perform faithfully the sacred rites as I have commanded thee. Let not one jot nor tittle pass from the law till all be fulfilled.
When thou sayest Mass, givest benediction or administerest the sacraments, let the people see and admire thy respect and veneration for my worship and their piety will be increased.
Let there be nothing in thy movements, attitude or voice save what is redolent of modesty, gravity, humility, dignity and piety.
Let the abundance of the holiness of thy soul govern thy whole exterior deportment.
Oh, if thou hadst the sanctity of John the Baptist! Oh, if the people saw thy countenance like that of an angel as of old in St. Stephen! With what zeal would they venerate and participate in my mysteries!
But ye wicked priests, who despise my table and my sanctuary, who with your arrogant looks, wandering eyes, proud stride, undue haste and "disregard of rubrics" scandalize my people, how long will you dishonor me?
How long will you trample under foot the faith and piety of my people? How long will my flock cry out in indignation: Where is their God?
Can we believe that He will come down upon their altar?Will He not destroy those who have violated His sanctuary?

Nihil Obstat. ARTHUR SCANLAN, S.T.D.
Censor Liborum

Archbishop of New York

It is a mystery to me how the infinite Lord of the universe lives on a Eucharistic wafer. Truely present.
"That Bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. That chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. Through that bread and wine the Lord Christ willed to commend HIS BODY …More

"That Bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. That chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. Through that bread and wine the Lord Christ willed to commend HIS BODY AND BLOOD, WHICH HE POURED OUT FOR US UNTO THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS." (Sermons 227)
