M. F. —
God is always merciful, and is more
powerful than the devil. The very
fact you want to turn back, is proof
that there is hope (although there
is always hope whether you think
there is or not).
First, turn away from every sin and,
if you are Catholic, go to Confession.
You might want to explain the situation
to the priest and ask him if there
is any way he can help beyond that.
I'd definitely get some holy water
and blessed salt and use it. If you
have problems being harassed by the
devil, you can seek deliverance or
even an exorcism, although I've heard
of people, who are in a lot worse
situation than yours: cured, simply
by praying the Our Father with a
priest.
Here is something really quick you
can do. This Saturday, find an Easter
Vigil service at a Catholic church.
There is a part where baptismal promises
are renewed. Even if you aren't baptized,
you can participate in this, and
I think it will be helpful. It goes
something like this:
- Do you reject Satan? (All respond:
I do)
- And all his empty works?
- And all his empty promises?
Or it may be a similar set of questions.
The point is, it's a public way of
renouncing satan, though this only
happens once a year in most parishes.
If you are not baptized, you can
get a simple exorcism by a Catholic
Baptism.
Hope this helps,
Eric
