Demon of Blasphemy

When one is beset by the demon of blasphemy the therapy is as follows, ‘Cast the thought aside for it is not of your own mind but the invention and scheme of the devil to whom you must answer thus: This blasphemy is yours, O subtle demons. May it be on your heads and may your injustice smite your arrogance. Your abominations accuse you for you blaspheme against God, for you are proud and apostates. I always bless the Lord and my Savior. When your response is thus, and you do the sign of the Cross, the demons will flee and will vanish suddenly like smoke. You must know that the reason I can’t here, is in the ceramic pithos jar.”
