Contrary to popular belief, the Rite Of Exorcism is really a beautiful repentance before God to help prepare for Holy Communion. As a Born Again Reformed Catholic I find it unsettling how much that many people neglect repentance before communion. In fact, the Bible warns of partaking of the Lord's Supper unworthily. In St. Paul's 1st letter to the Corinthians 11:29 it states "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh d**nation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." Hollywood movies have given The Rite Of Exorcism the reputation of only being used to "Cast Out Demons". Though it is also very effective in that regard, it is even more effective when prayed individually before communion. I think all Christians should read this, whether Catholic of not.

I just went to confession today, had some issues on my conscience that needed to be dealt with, it is indeed a very serious issue to recieve the Eucharist w/unconfessed mortal sin on one's soul.
