Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

    Please include me in your prayers. I am suffering from colds, controlled sore throats, fever, chills, coughs, body pains, headaches and phlegms. I usually felt earthquakes after feeling tremors on my body especially last December 31, 2014. This is paranormal and I hope that with the help of your prayers, spirits may not torment me so much.

    I feel heavy-built spirits (like Bishop) controlling me and I feel fear most of the time whenever they (or he) make the earth and my body quake as if a beggar is pulling and shaking my arm asking for alms. He doesn’t hurt me seriously but his spirit make my room wave like water as if I am riding on floating board in the middle of the sea. The experience was scary but earthquake was reported to be strongest some place else, not in my place.

    I also feel the presence of female spirits crawling in my body like the one presented in the exorcist movie - the one that mentioned abizu. In the Philippines, I think, they call it \'sukob\' - sharing of two spirits in one body usually with female spirits. This makes me very sick and tormented especially while sleeping. I almost died years ago due to this kind of paranormal experience. Females or witchcraft spirit usually control or touch my body spiritually. It was as if she is putting dust or little sands in my throat making me produce sudden coughs. I could control the spirits but I should be careful for she or he will totally attack and they harrass me if I make a mistake towards them. I believe that spirits may be from other places other than Batangas and Manila (where I studied) like America, Europe, Africa or Russia but I have a very strong feeling that best tortures came from China. This country made me cough very, very much before. Call me insane but super powers kill little humans like me any way they want to. Please include me in your prayers. I don\'t know what they want from me but I hope that I could give God and my neighbors what they ought to have. I thank God for not controlling me so much the way they torture Emily in her movie. I barely control my body but unfortunately, angry spirits usually control just my mouth, not my whole body - I am talking of Beelzebul, Minions, Demons, Diabolic Spirits, Mob, Legions, et al. They usually make people behave like wild animals but fortunately, they just control a portion of my mouth, not my whole body. Prayers are stronger than any one of them. They just passed by my body and I think, they are obeying God correctly, the way Satan obeyed in the book of Job. I may have said the deadliest words in the whole world due to these spirits of the left of hand of God but with the help of prayers, including ut queant laxis, but His forgiveness reigns forever. I hope that with your prayers, I could succeed fulfilling the Will of God most especially, when the spirits of the left hand of God arrives. I hope that we could cure the sick through prayers. - Emmanuel Tio

    You know what trouble my heart. Our student loads are coming do and I am stressing out over this. The one thing that really stresses me out is what I fail to do and that is to stop worrying about life.

  15. My prayer goes out to the Sweeney family of Lanark County who have just lost their youngest sister to cancer. I pray that with the passing of their sister that the Holy Spirit will be invited into their lives by each of them - that there is still the possibility of their heart, attitudes, and behavior being changed. I pray that they come to realize that Death is final, and after that, no amount of praying will avail a person of the salvation he/she has rejected in life and with that each and every member of the Sweeney family will turn towards our Heavenly Father asking for forgiveness over their lives and asking for guidance for a renewed Spirit.

  13. MARY FRANCES ROUECHE

    Mrs. Mary Frances Nassif Roueche passed away peacefully January 9th, 2015 after a short period of declining health. She was a first generation born in the United States on December 29, 1923 to Lebanese parents, Frank Nassif and Jana Reizck Nassif. She married Peter David Roueche, Sr. in 1947 and together they raised three sons.

    She is survived by her sons Peter David Roueche, Jr. (Barbara) of Salisbury; Jon Terrance Roueche (Caroline) of Rock Hill, SC. and Frank Anthony Roueche of Salisbury. She is also survived by six grandchildren, Wendy Roueche of Salisbury, Sara Roueche Dulski of Huntersville, Elizabeth Roueche Williams of Rock Hill, SC, Jon Terrance Roueche, Jr. of Charlotte, Mary Virginia Roueche Allen of Charleston, SC, and Lee Frances Roueche of Philadelphia, PA. She leaves a legacy of seven great-grandchildren, Mary Frances and Rachel Anne McCullough of Salisbury, John and Jane Dulski of Huntersville, Benjamin Williams of Rock Hill, SC, and Virginia and Ella Allen of Charleston, SC. She is also survived by her sisters Margaret Nassif Baddour of Jackson, TN and Elizabeth Nassif Koury (Bill) of Mooresville, NC and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband who died December 1, 1993 and her brother Fred Ayash, Jr., in 2005.

    Mary Frances’ life is best characterized by her faith in the Roman Catholic Church and devotion to Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She attended daily Mass and was a charter member of Catholic Daughters Court #1759. She was named Catholic Woman of the Year several times. Mary Frances began singing in the choir at the age of ten years old. Music and the church choir were her passions. She was a mezzo soprano and studied under Miss Grace Goodykoontz in the 1930’s and became a soloist at the age of 15. She was the choir director and organist for nearly three decades at Sacred Heart and was also a charter member of The Concert Choir, founded in 1976. Her induction into the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in 2001 by Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington D.C., was the culmination of her years of dedication.

    She was most at home in the kitchen cooking and passing on the Lebanese culture and traditions to her family. She cooked for the Rotary for 20 years and they honored her in 1992 as an honorary lifelong member for her service.

    Mary Frances was a graduate of Boyden High School and worked her early years as a hair dresser. Later she worked at Rowan Memorial Hospital in the hospitality shop and managed the gift shop for the Women’s Auxiliary.

    Visitation will be Sunday January 11, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm at Summersett Funeral Home. Rite of Christian Burial Mass will be celebrated Monday at 11am at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with burial to follow at Chestnut Hill Cemetery. The family will receive friends following at the home of David and Barbara Roueche in Salisbury.
