In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel Glorious Commander of the heavenly hosts, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle against the Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spiritual elements of evil in the heavenly heights. Come to the aid of people whom God created in his own image and likeness and redeemed from diabolical slavery at a great price. The holy Church honors you as their guardian and patron, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to your care, so that you may lead them to eternal happiness. Beg God, the giver of peace, to crush Satan under our feet, so that he can no longer enslave people or harm the Church. Bring our prayers to the face of the Most High. May he show us his mercy quickly. Seize the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bind him and cast him down to hell, so that he may no longer deceive the nations. Exorcism In the name of Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin, Mary Mother of God, St. Michael the Archangel, the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, I proceed to repel the attacks of the devil's wickedness. Psalm 68 [67] /said standing/ God rises up and his enemies are scattered, those who hate him flee from his presence. Like smoke driven by the wind, like wax melting before the fire, so sinners perish before God. Behold the Cross of the Lord; flee, you adversaries of his. - The lion of the tribe of Judah, the descendant of David, has triumphed. Lord, let your mercy be shown to us. - For in you we place our hope. I curse and cast you out, every unclean spirit, every power of darkness, every assault of the infernal enemy, every diabolical legion and hostile host. In the name and power of our Lord Jesus + Christ, get out and flee from the Church of God, from the souls created in the image of God and redeemed by the precious Blood of the Lamb of God +. Perverse serpent, do not dare to deceive people any more, persecute the Church of God, nor strike and sift like wheat the chosen ones of God. You, overcome by unbridled pride, dare to resemble God Most High. God the Father commands you +, God the Son commands you +, God the Holy Spirit commands you +, Christ commands you, the eternal Word of God made flesh +. Christ, who for the salvation of humanity, lost through your hatred, humbled himself and became obedient even to death; who built his Church on a solid rock, promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it and that he would remain in it for all days until the end of the world. The sacrament + of the Cross and the power of all the Christian mysteries of faith command you. The glorious Virgin Mary, Mother of God, + who from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception crushed your proud head with her humility commands you. The faith of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and all the other Apostles + commands you. The blood of the Martyrs and the devout intercession of all the Saints + command you. Therefore, I command you, devilish power, by the living + God, by the true + God, by the holy + God, by the God + who so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him may escape destruction and attain eternal life. Stop misleading people and instilling in them the poison that results in eternal damnation. Stop harming the Church and putting fetters on its freedom. Go away, Satan, father of lies, enemy of human salvation. Give way to Christ, in whom you have found nothing of your own. Give way to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, which Christ acquired for himself with his blood. Bow under the almighty right hand of God, let it terrify you and drive away the invocation through us of the holy name of Jesus, before which the inhabitants of hell tremble, to which the powers of heaven, power and dominion are subjected, to whom the Cherubim and Seraphim praise incessantly with hymns of praise, singing: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of hosts. Lord, hear our prayer. - And let our cry come to you. Let us pray: God of heaven, God of earth, God of Angels, God of Archangels, God of Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Priests, God of Virgins, God of all Saints, God who has the power to grant life after death and rest after hardships. There is no other God but You and there can be none equal to You. Creator of visible and invisible beings, there will be no end to Your kingdom. We humbly beseech Your majesty: free us by Your power from all violence, deceit and wickedness of the spirits of hell and keep us in Your care. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Free us, Lord, from the snares of Satan! That Your Church may be free in Your service - we pray You, hear us, Lord. That You may deign to humiliate the enemies of the holy Church - we pray You, hear us, Lord.
