Fr. Reehil: "I Feel Like We're on the Verge of Something Big"
SPECTACULAR video interview: Michael Knowles & the Exorcist
This podcast of Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles interviewing Catholic priest and exorcist Fr. Dan Reehil is absolutely stunning. It’s an hour and 45 minutes long, and worth every single second. I promise, you will not be bored.

It talks about God’s grace… nuns crawling up walls… how Fr. Reehil personally met the devil (twice)… how Jesus multiplied pudding cups for an orphanage BBQ… from Wall Street to priesthood… about “believing is seeing”… the quickest ways to grow in faith… and so much more. It’s a must-watch.
I stop and rewind parts of the interview about 50 times, just to drink it all in. I savor every single word.
But what REALLY throws me for a loop is when Fr. Reehil says this (around 1:34:00):
I feel a great urgency for people to come back to God because I feel we’re on the very edge of an abyss, that something’s coming. And I feel like just with everything that’s going on, in the natural world, but also in the supernatural world, that we’re on the verge of something big.
And then he says something that literally makes my jaw drop:
My Lenten homily was, “Going into Lent thinking it’s your last Lent and treat it that way.” Like, do everything the best and the most. Don’t cheat it. Go in wanting to come out a saint at Easter. Because it might be your last.”
OMG.
On February 25, I felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to write a blog post titled, “The Last Lent,” saying the exact same thing: Treat this Lent like it’s your last. Make every day, every moment count. Spend time praying, reading Scripture, love God, Jesus, the people around you more fiercely than ever before. And be fearless.
Fr. Reehil continues:
And I preached that, and then, the next day, I got sent a message from one of the mystics in South America. I’m not saying this is true, but the fact that this came to me unsolicited and nobody knew what I had said—because this was just a generated email, not from a person, but just from a website—and she said, “Treat this Lent as though it were your last.”
I said, “Ooh… okay.”
It doesn’t mean it’s going to be—but we do things differently when we think it’s the last time.
Wow. VatiGod, you’ve just blown my mind. I know we can’t be sure when your Illumination of Conscience (also called The Warning*, Mini-Judgment, or The Day of Mercy) will happen, but many who heard about it believe it’ll be soon. Maybe sooner than any of us think.
[The Warning by Christine Watkins, by the way, is the book that triggered my ultimate conversion—when I was already a (lukewarm) Catholic—and finally put me on the path to real Catholicism. You can read that crazy story here and here.]
Powerful!
