Casting Out The Devil

Umbrian city of Citta di Castello

At Citta di Castello there was a woman obsessed by the devil...The woman, unable to stand St. Francis' power, began to tremble and roll about on the ground. St. Francis called to her and said: "In virtue of obedience, I command you, unclean spirit, to go out of her." Immediately he left her without injuring her, but departing in great anger.

Saint Francis of Assisi
