3-Step Action Plan for Lent
Evil Attachment of Preloved Items
Most of us love to buy or receive gently used or preloved items, such as clothes, furniture, and more. Who doesn't love a great find at a consignment or thrift store? However, it is important to remember that evil can sometimes latch onto objects through means of infestation due to past sins or negative actions associated with these items. Previous users might have committed occult practices, sexual sins, heresies, curses, demonic consecration, or other sins against the Ten Commandments, which could have allowed the presence of evil to attach to their belongings, including clothing, household items, or even entire homes.
For this reason, it is wise to exercise caution when accepting or purchasing preloved items and to pray over them (when you already purchased it for authority and ownership) to remove any bond of evil or consecration that may be associated with them. These infested items can potentially bring disorder, sickness, accident, depression, loss of job, financial problems, or difficulties within the family if they are brought into the home without spiritual preparation. It is crucial to remember that we are not just battling physical matters but spiritual forces as well. Therefore, we must protect ourselves with prayer and the sacraments of the Church, ensuring we remain in a state of grace.
Below is a sample of a prayer to say before allowing preloved items to enter your home:
Prayer for Cleansing Preloved Item
+Sign of the Cross
Heavenly Father, I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, to ask for Your divine protection and blessing over these items I am bringing into my home. I acknowledge that objects may carry spiritual attachments from their past owners, and I seek Your power to cleanse and sanctify them completely.
Through the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, I ask that You wash these items of any evil attachment, sin, or consecration that may have been placed on them through past actions, known or unknown. I invoke the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking her to assist in breaking any bond of evil connected to these items and to place them at the foot of Your Cross, O Lord, where all darkness is defeated.
With the use of this Exorcised Salt or Exorcised Water, I consecrate and purify these items, declaring them free from any demonic influence or infestation. Let them be blessed and protected under Your holy light and the shelter of Your grace.
I pray that You protect my home and all who dwell within it from any harm, and that Your peace and love may reign in our hearts and in every corner of this place.
I entrust this prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and with faith, I recite:
Pater Noster (Our Father),
Ave Maria(Hail Mary),
Gloria Patri(Glory Be).
Sign of the Cross
Amen.
