And the I in the presence of the Almighty God do hereby and hear on most solemnly

and sincerely promise and swear that I will always hail,

ever conceal, and never reveal any of the arts, parts, or points of the hidden mysteries of the ancient Freemasonry, which may have been or hereafter shall be at this time or any future period communicated to me.

All this I most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear,

with a firm and steadfast resolution to perform the same,

without any mental reservation or secret evasion of mind, whatever binding myself under no less

penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and

my body varied in the rough sands of the sea.

At low watermark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in 24 hours, should I ever knowingly

violate any of this, my entered apprentice obligation.

So help me God and keep me steadfast in the due performance of the same. Oh, Welcome back to the Exorcist Files, the prevailing podcast offering a preview into the

of it when a sweet older lady, a church-going, powerful prayer woman, woman living a moral and righteous life, begins slowly having hell move into her home?

And what happens when prayer just isn't cutting it? When intercession seems to only

aggravate whatever insidious intruder has invited their way in. Well, for that answer, let us once again turn to our resident demon disciplinarian, Father Carlos Martins.

Heads up. Today features a touch less dramatic recreations and a little bit more theology, history, and insight from the Good Father.
