The Exorcism of Anna Ecklund Page #4

reached a definitive diagnosis.

Based on the criteria set forth

by the Catholic Church,

it can be determined

that Anna exhibits at least 12 symptoms

associated with demonic possession.

These include cutting, scratching,

and biting of skin,

an intense coldness

in the room she inhabits,

unnatural body postures,

and a change in her physical appearance.

According to those who know her,

she has undergone

a complete personality change.

Her voice also displays

signs of significant change.

She speaks in languages

she has never known or studied.

Anna also exhibits

unnatural physical strength

and appears to have intimate knowledge

of those around her.

She also has violent reactions

to all religious symbols.

The archbishop has given his approval.

Richard?

I have doubts.

There is evidence enough for an exorcism.

The archbishop has said so himself.

I'm doubting myself, Theo.

God never gives us more

than we can handle.

Yeah, but it becomes difficult

to trust God's judgment

in a world that's full

of good people who suffer.

Don't you think?

The world is full of suffering.

One cannot deny that.

But it's also full of people who...

who have overcome.

Most of the world's great achievements

have succeeded

because people keep on trying,

against all the odds, when there's-

when there's no hope left.

That's what the world

is really about, you see?

You keep soldering on,

through adversity.

The most beautiful thing

in the world is hope.

Knowing that yesterday was bad, but...

but hoping that...

tomorrow will be better.

I know the world

is a dangerous place to live, but...

it isn't dangerous because

of the people that- that are evil.

It's because of the people

who will not do anything about the evil.

Be with me at that battle, Richard.

All you will need

to bring with you is hope.

On this journey, you will find yourself.

Theo...

You know, this world...

with all its war, famine...

hate...

Do we really make a difference here?

Do we really make a difference?

The church...

The church is a beacon.

You...

You are a shining beacon for people.

I apologize for the lateness of the hour,

but there's something you must see.

She's sedated.

We must begin soon.

Time is running out.

I know it's been a while.

I'm sorry about that.

I've strayed from the path.

But I thank you, God,

for still being there for me

and allowing me to come

to you in my time of need.

God, there are things happening

around me right now that I...

I just don't understand.

Some of these things make me feel

weak, helpless, afraid.

My heart is troubled, Lord.

But I will strive to keep it set on you,

as your infinite wisdom will show me
