Have you ever felt the tangible presence of Satan?

Have you ever felt the tangible presence of Satan?

I was just wondering how common this experience is in the lives of others? I sense the presence of the evil one when certain anti-Christ people are nearby. It is really awful. I tend to think that if you have not been through this, you must not be very close to the Lord? Just saying...

Yes, I have at times...

And I know what you mean about certain people giving you a feeling of an evil presence...

I try to pray whenever I am in a situation like that, and I am grateful at such times that I almost always wear a Saint Benedict medal.   :)

Absolutely, yes.  In the presence of certain persons, in certain geographic locations, when occultic items are in proximity.  Be sure to wear your brown scapular, a Miraculous or St. Benedict medal, St . Michael.  Having a Rosary on your person helps both to discern and protect.  I think this is normal for a Catholic to be aware of the enemy of our souls.  I'd be afraid if someone told me they are never bothered by the devil.

Yes, in certain places and near certain persons. No place as strongly as inside an NO parish, where everything seems topsy turvy to me. From the lighthearted banter of a homily, to the confusion at the distribution of the Holy Eucharist where several people descend upon the altar to collect chalices and patens and the ensuing shuffle in the aisles as a few faithful position themselves to receive from the priest. 

In contrast, I feel the overwhelming calm when passing in front of a Tabernacle, or falling to my knees at adoration.

"I tend to think that if you have not been through this, you must not be very close to the Lord?"

I would think this is going a little bit far. Smacks of pride.  One might just as easily surmise it is because the Devil is feeling real close to you, and has opened his mouth for the final chomp.
