Catholics around the world will fast, pray to the Sacred Heart (left) and make reparation on Thursday December 6. The initiative was proposed by four anonymous exorcists in the National Catholic Register. They say that spiritual warfare “is happening within the Church”, especially concerning idolatry, and that we can drive out demonic influence by making reparation.
