I'm 12. My sister's friend is a Satanist - they threaten to sacrifice me. What to do?translated

October 6, 2026 · 1 min read

Reader question:

Dear priest! I am 12 years old. This summer, my sister’s friend Lyuba began coming to our house. But Lyuba, as it turned out, is a Satanist, and she dragged my sister into this. And me - for a while. I then gave up the rituals, but Masha and Lyuba did not. But the most important thing is the threat to my life. They threaten to sacrifice me, there have been attempts at practice. But you can’t tell your parents. What to do?

Timofey

Priest's answer:

Priest Evgeniy CHEBYKIN

Hello, Timofey.

I'm very sorry that such a problem happened to you. Please try not to do anything like this again in the future!

The first thing you need to do now is go to church for confession and tell the priest about everything that happened. I am sure that he will be able to help you cope with all this.

And, of course, Timofey, whether you like it or not, you must bring your parents up to date. Necessarily.

Please try to regularly go to church for services, participate in the Sacraments of the Church, read wise books and do good deeds.

May the Lord help you!

Timofey, tell your parents immediately. Being scared is normal, but this is not a game. Go to your parish priest for confession, as Father Evgenije says, and don't hide anything anymore.
