Exorcist Msgr. Stephen Rossetti has a very active caseload of demonic possessions, and in each case two vivid lessons consistently emerge: demons possess or harass people in a myriad of ways (even when they do not enter a body), and they are defeated decisively by the power of Christ and His Churchβ€”and especially by invocations to the Blessed Mother.

In these pages, Msgr. Rossetti gives us an inside look at the intense experiences of an exorcist. He shares, without hype or varnish, what it is like, on a daily basis, to face demons who revile, threaten, and sometimes spiritually β€œwound” him. He describes the healing power of Christ for the possessed and for the exorcist, and reveals amazing moments when Christ and His Church visibly triumph over Satan. The reader is afforded a unique glimpse into the world of angels and demons, and the struggles of the possessed and those who minister to them. In this stunning, edifying, true diary of an American exorcist, you’ll learn:

What demonic possession is, and is not
Common tactics of Satan and his typical lies
How God protects exorcists
The difference between strong and weak possessions
The hierarchy of demons (not all are equal)
What it’s like for an exorcist to face Lucifer himself
Why demons choke people
How demons fear and hate one another too

Review

"Enlightening and timely!"
Timothy Cardinal Dolan
Archbishop of New York and Author,
I am With You: Lessons of Hope and Courage in Times of Crisis

"Diary of an American Exorcist is an antidote against fear and despair."
Kathryn Jean Lopez
Senior fellow, National Review Institute, editor-at-large,
National Review, Author, A Year with the Mystics: Visionary Wisdom for Daily Living

β€œMsgr. Stephen Rossetti reveals the heart of an exorcist who often encounters the murky and terrible world of demons. This book will benefit all who seek understanding and healing from the incursions of demons and evil in general."
Rev. Msgr Charles Pope
Pastor, Holy Comforter - St. Cyprian Parish, Washington, D.C.

β€œIn his new book, Msgr. Rossetti skillfully presents the truth about demonic activity only to radiate the truth about Christ’s victory over evil spirits. Inspiring, practical, balanced, and empowering, readers of this work will take away a new sense of awe, gratitude and love for the Chief Exorcist Jesus Christ, and His continuing work through exorcist priests. If readers take to heart this book, their spiritual armor will be strengthened. Highly Recommended!”

Short chapters with stories of real cases. Fr Rossetti does a good job of maintaining attention and gives great advice on how to prevent demonic attacks. We already know that the demons are pathetic and will not win in the end so they are pretty much grasping at straws in any way they can to gain as many souls as possibly. Anyone can fall victim to their ploys so it's important for us to listen to Fr Rossetti, in persona Christi through apostolic succession, as he details how to protect ourselves.

My spiritual director referred me to Msgr. Rossetti for healing wounds and traumas deep within my family. I attend his online deliverance prayers monthly and thought it was honestly going to be a bunch of nonsense with little to no effect, but SHEEEESH, I was wrong πŸ˜…

In any case, I grabbed a copy of his diary because I saw his posts on Instagram frequently referencing certain topics he discusses within these pages. He is direct, to-the-point, but also gives great theological background for how we, the laity, and those in clergy with their ministry teams handle the spiritual battle against the Evil One. Very helpful stuff for those looking to know the ways of their opponent a little better!

Msgr. repeatedly stresses the importance of patience endurance in suffering, humility, and frequent use of the Sacramentals in our everyday battle against the Evil One, giving practical, real-life examples from his own exorcist ministry in varied situations.

This is a very easy read for anyone looking for something practical that you can pick up on and go at your own pace as you please, without feeling stalled. I have already recommended it to a few friends and have used this as my reading companion during weekly Adoration! Give it a read, it's worth it.

And thank you again to Monsignor Rossetti for his hard work and dedication against evil! God bless!

β€œDiary of An American Exorcist” by @msgr.rossetti is worth reading. This is not a topic that I thought I would ever dive into or want to learn about - it is kind of scary to even think about. But after reading these short experiences that are shared, my awareness is intensified on how demons truly go about trying to poke and attack all of us here on 🌍.

However, it is more satisfying to know that God truly is looking after us and working to protect us when these instances happen.

Reading this book is a blessing because it has given me knowledge and awareness that I did not have before. It was even beneficial for me as I truly believe I have been poked at and am vulnerable at times to the plot of the demons discussed in this book.

I appreciate @msgr.rossetti sharing some of his experiences.

The book is a little repetitive with some chapters repeating the same thing. The book could have been half the size and still been effective. Great read to inform and grow in Gods knowledge and reaffirm that The holy Family are advocates in our journey to eternal life.

It goes to show that you cannot depend on one person's negative comments about anything… a movie, a television show, or in this case a book. This book was so well written and very educational! And, for a lot of people, this this book provides hope and inspiration. We all give Lucifer too much power over us. This is a reminder to all of us that Lucifer is just another angel, who turned away from God…. maybe he was a the highest ranking angel at one point… but nevertheless, an angel. There were so many detailed and clear examples given of different exorcisms that that it goes to show you that demonic influence is more around us then we actually think. Lucifer's greatest mind trick of all is that he does not exist. And because of this there is only one point that I disagree about in the book. In it, it said that there is still hope for the United States. We are a very immoral country and have been getting worse. This has occurred more and more after the subject of God was pulled from the public schools. The only hope that I currently have is that those who are accepting the messages of Fatima, to pray the rosary everyday and to repent often, will be saved.

And to the author, maybe the negative reviews of this book have originated from demonic influence as a way to decrease the number of sales. This book does a great job of exposing Satan and his limited capabilities here on Earth...if I were him, I would do the same. Why would anyone want their weaknesses exposed?

The church needs to make known the standards which an exorcism is conducted.
The exorcism can be dangerous for the priest if he is foolish enough to think he can out smart the devil.
These standards are to keep the priest safe.
