Begone

✠

The Demon enters, as a squatter and not as an owner or a guest or one who has a right to be there. He comes in as an intruder and as an invader and enemy.

The Demon existed to destroy god's creation, it will do everything in his power to deprive of the joy, influence, and rewards that come from serving God in this life.

The devil has no authority in God's creation, so they must BEGONE.

"Good Evening, Father." A female voice came out behind of me, I quickly turned around to see who it was.

It was just Sister Mary, a nun who was assigned to this parish, "What is it, sister?" I asked with a soft voice. "A letter arrived and it was for you." She gently answered.

"From whom?" I asked, I personally don't always get letters from people unless it is from higher-ups or something serious.

She gave me the envelope, "I haven't read it, but the delivery man said that it's for you Father Gerry." 

I opened the envelope, the letter is quite long, thus it is on a long bond paper.

"Oh, It's from the diocese." I quickly returned the book that I am reading from the shelves.

"Sister, please prepare the gospel for the mass tomorrow,"

"I'll do it right now, Father," she answered, and we separated ways.

I carried all my stuff and went into the door of the parish, there is an old guard there.

I tapped his shoulders, "I am going now." I smiled at him, "Father, take care!" he said to me.

It's my first time assigned in a parish, I am still new like I was just ordained last year, this parish is also new, and the convent is still under construction, so I am living on an apartment near the parish. 

 After a short walk, I arrived at the apartment, I opened my door, and I was greeted by the smell of those rose-scented candles that I bought in the stores.

My room is just simple, It is not big, and also it is not small, I have a small living room, just to accommodate guest that might visit me, a bedroom, a bathroom, just like a normal home. I have this crucifix, It's not just a simple crucifix, an uncle from the Vatican send me this cross because of my ordination.

Even if you compare my crucifix to other crucifixes, My crucifix really stands off because of its weird blue glowing lights.

I also have an Image of Our Lady of Fatima, and nothing more, I have this one bookshelf full of books which are about different things on church and stuff.

I dropped my suitcase on the couch, and I open the envelope again, It's from his eminence Bishop Mark of our diocese.

It's all about things to do, and the holy week is getting closer and closer, but it's not my duty but the parish priest, I guess I'll give this to him tomorrow after the mass.

I finished reading the letter but I touched something from the back of the paper, I turned the bond paper and there's another paper but it's folded.

I took it and opened it, here it reads:

Dear Father Gerry,

        The whole priest of the diocese gathered and had a meeting, and we discussed the growing cases of a demonic presence in our community, and we agreed on one thing;
