Prayer For Help Against Spiritual EnemiesGlorious Saint Michael, Prince of the heavenly hosts, who stands always ready to give assistance to the people of God; who fought with the dragon, the old serpent, and cast him out of heaven, and now valiantly defends the Church of God that the gates of hell may never prevail against her, I earnestly entreat you to assist me also, in the painful and dangerous conflict which I sustain against the same formidible foe. Be with me, O mighty Prince, that I may courageously fight and vanquish that proud spirit, whom you, by the Divine Power, gloriously overthrew, and whom our powerful King, Jesus Christ, has, in our nature, completely overcome; so having triumphed over the enemy of my salvation, I may with you and the holy angels, praise the clemency of God who, having refused mercy to the rebellious angels after their fall, has granted repentance and forgiveness to fallen man. Amen. |

Police Officer's Prayer to Saint MichaelSaint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premisesof all its undesirables, look with kindly and professionaleyes on your earthly force. Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment. Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations. You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences with the devil, that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration. And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all the people. Amen. |

Exorcism Against Satan And All Evil Spirits
For use by the Laity In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL O Glorious Prince of the Celestial Hosts, Saint Michael the Archangel, protect me and defend me in the conflict which I have to sustain against Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places (Ephesians 6:12). Come to my rescue, for God has created me to His image and likeness, and He has redeemed me at a great price from the tyranny of the Devil. It is thou, O Holy Saint Michael the Archangel, whom Holy Church venerates as her guardian and her protector, thou whom the Lord has charged to conduct redeemed souls into Heaven. Pray, therefore, the God of Peace to subdue Satan beneath my feet, that he may no longer retain me captive nor do injury to the Church. Present my prayers to the Most High God, that without delay He may draw His Mercy down upon me. Seize the Dragon, the Old Serpent, which is the Devil and Satan ; bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit ...that he (may) no more seduce the nations (Apocalypse 20:2-3). EXORCISM I humbly and confidently invoke the power of the Holy Name of Jesus and the power of the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, of St. Michael the Archangel, of Saints Peter and Paul, of the rest of the Holy Apostles and all of the Holy Angels and Saints of Heaven to repulse the attacks and deceits of the Devil. Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Him flee from before His Face. As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the Presence of God (Psalm 67:2-3).
V. Behold the Cross of the Lord. (Hold up a Crucifix or a Cross.) Flee, bands of enemies.
V. May Thy mercy descend upon me. By the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, of St. Michael the Archangel, of Saints Peter and Paul and all of the Holy Apostles and all of the Holy Angels and Saints of Heaven, you are all driven from me, whoever you may be, including all unclean spirits, Satanic powers, infernal invaders, wicked legions, assemblies and sects. In the Name and by the Virtue of Our Lord Jesus Christ, may you be snatched away and driven from the True Church of God and from me whose soul was redeemed by the Most Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb. They command you, cunning serpents and all of the human agents of Satan, to stop confusing me and to stop deluding the human race; to stop persecuting the Church, to stop tormenting God's elect and sifting them as wheat. This is the command made to you by the Most High God, with Whom in your haughty insolence you still pretend to be equal; the God Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the Truth(1 Timothy 2:4). God the Father commands you. God the Son commands you. God the Holy Ghost commands you. Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word of God made Flesh, commands you; He Who, to save our race lost through your malice, humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death (Philippians 2:8), commands you; He Who has built His One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church on the firm Rock of Himself (1 Corinthians 10:4) and declared that the Gates of Hell shall never prevail against her, because He dwells with her all days, even to the consummation of the world (Matthew 28:20), commands you. The hidden power of the Holy Cross overcomes you as does also the power of the mysteries of the Holy Catholic Faith. The glorious Wife of the Holy Ghost commands you; the Holy Theotokos, Mother of God, commands you; the Immaculate Conception, who, by her profound humility, crushed your proud head, commands you. Each of the Holy Apostles, as ordained Exorcists, command you. The blood of the Holy Martyrs and the pious intercession of all of the Holy Angels and Saints command you. Thus, cursed Dragon, and you, wicked Legions, your are adjured by the Living God, by the True God, by the Holy God, by the God Who so loved the world, as to give His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish but may have life everlasting (John 3:16) to cease deceiving me and all other human creatures and to stop pouring out upon us the toxic fumes of lies and confusion and the poison of eternal perdition; to stop harming the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church and hindering her liberty; to retreat, Satan, the Father of Lies, the Inventor and Master of all error, confusion, half-truths and deceit, the Enemy of our salvation; to give place to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in Whom you have found none of your works; to give place to the only one True Church, the Mystical Body of Christ which is the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ at the price of His Most Precious Blood; to stoop beneath the All-Powerful Hand of God; to tremble and flee at the evocation of the Holy and terrible Name of Jesus: this Name which causes Hell to tremble, this Name to which the Nine Choirs of Angels in Heaven are humbly submissive, this Name which the Holy Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly, repeating: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of hosts .
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
V. May the Lord be with thee. LET US PRAY God of Heaven, God of earth, God of Archangels and Angels, God of Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Confessors, God of Virgins, God of the Married, God Who hast power to give life after death and rest after work, because there is no other God than Thee and there can be no other, for Thou art the Creator of all things, visible and invisible, of Whose Reign there shall be no end, I humbly prostrate myself before Thy Glorious Majesty and I supplicate Thee to deliver us from all of the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares and their furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to protect me and my family and friends by Thy Omnipotent Power and to preserve us safe and sound, I beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord. Amen. From the snares of the Devil, deliver us, O Lord. That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty, I beseech Thee to hear me. That Thou wouldst crush down all enemies of Thy Church, I beseech Thee to hear me.
THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY GHOST: BEGONE SATAN! BEGONE ALL EVIL SPIRITS! (Holy Water is now sprinkled while saying:) THE CONCLUDING PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL Come, O Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. Rebuke him, O God, we humbly beseech Thee; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the Power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. |
