Psychological healing – exorcisms – made by the Son of Man. The relationship between His
quality of God-Man and the source of Man’s power
All the diseases and incapacities that Jesus healed fall into three main etiological
categories: organic, unexplained and demonic possessions. The third category, demonic
possession, justifies some discussions. The idea of demons causing the disease may be difficult
for many contemporary people to understand, but this was a widely accepted view in the ancient
world. The presence of Jesus Christ meant the destruction of the demonic work within men and the
liberation of all those who run to His protection. Similarly, the Church is in a permanent
struggle to eliminate all demonic forces out of the Christian life and of the whole creation,
through the power of the Holy Cross, of the Holy Sacraments and through church services,
exorcising being a long-term work of the Church.
