NEW BOOK BY DIRECTOR OF EXORCISM IN MANILA RAISES QUESTION: IS DEVIL UNDER EVERY ROCK?
Many argue about whether the devil can read thoughts (we believe, as a spirit, he can), while others take exception to those who "see the devil under every rock."
There's a new book by Father Jose Francisco C. Syquia, director of the Archdiocese of Manila Office of Exorcism, in the Philippines (which still takes exorcisms seriously), and in it is a forward by the mother prioress at the Carmel of St. Therese Monastery, Sister Mary Bernard Tescam. Says Sister Tescam:
"As a cloistered nun of thirty-six years, formed to develop our sensitivity to the interior movements of the psyche, I can humbly say that more and more I am convinced of evil trying to influence practically every second of our mortal lives -- ranging from the extremely subtle like the whiff of a breeze, to the most blatant temptations. This is why Christ has warned us to be ever vigilant of that 'roaring lion constantly seeking prey to devour.'"
That is certainly at odds with those (often modernists) who scoff at the notion that evil is pervasive. Was it not Jesus Who at one point called Satan "the prince of this world"?
