I was really impressed, but I didn't do that.

Well, I did bless the odd wall, but only one or two.

But then, of course, this kept going, and something had to give, and it did.

One night, I had gone through my blessing ritual, was in bed doing my times tables, waiting for Helen to finish hers and turn the lights off, when there was a bang.

And the lights went out.

And smoke.

We could smell smoke.

And there was silence.

And then I heard my mother screaming my sister's name.

And that's when I realised there was something really, truly wrong.

So I jumped...

out of bed and dad had found a way to turn the lights on and my sister Helen was on the bed shaking uncontrollably and in her hand was a black cross.

And it turns out my sister had tried to bless the electricity with a metal cross.

Now she was okay and dad believed that Jesus had saved her and Patrick believed that Jesus just wanted to shut us up.

But truly that she was saved by the fine mattress that she was leaning on.

But it did have an instantaneous effect.

We were cured.

That was it.

We were done.

The days of controlling the universe with rosary beads were over.
