Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, that I may defend what is holy. Defend me, O Holy Spirit, that I may never lose what is holy. Amen.

PUTTING THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD
I put on God’s armor to resist the devil’s tactics. I stand my ground with truth buckled around my waist and integrity for my breastplate. I carry the shield of faith to put out the burning arrows of the evil one. I accept salvation from God to be my helmet and receive the Word of God from the Holy Spirit to use as a sword.

THE BREASTPLATE OF ST. PATRICK
     I armor myself today with the Power of the Most Holy Trinity, in the Oneness of God, Creator of the universe. I armor myself today with the Baptism of Christ, His Crucifixion and Resurrection, His Ascension and glorious Second Coming. I armor myself today with God’s Guidance to direct me, God’s Might to sustain me, God’s Wisdom to instruct me; God’s Word to give me speech, God’s Shield to protect me; God’s Army to defend me, against the snares of demons, against the lure of vices, against all who plot me harm.
      I invoke all these virtues today against every hostile and merciless power that may assail me, against the incantations of false prophets, against the black laws of heathenism, against the false laws of heresy, against the deceits of idolatry, against every art and spell that binds the soul to evil.
      Christ guard me today against every poison, burning, drowning and fatal wounding. Christ be with me, Christ be behind me, Christ be within me, Christ be beside me, Christ to win me. Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ to be where danger threatens, Christ be in the hearts of those around me, forevermore.

VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS (English)
Come, O Creator Spirit blest!
And in our souls take up Thy rest;
Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
Great Paraclete! To Thee we cry,
O highest gift of God most high!
O font of life! O fire of love!
And sweet anointing from above.
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts art known,
The finger of God’s hand we own;
The promise of the Father, Thou!
Who dost the tongue with power endow.
Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o’erflow with love;
With patience firm and virtue high
The weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread,
And grant us Thy true peace instead;
So shall we not, with Thee for guide,
Turn from the path of life aside.
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow
The Father and the Son to know,
And Thee through endless times confessed
Of both the eternal Spirit blest.
All glory while the ages run
Be to the Father and the Son
Who rose from death; the same to Thee,
O Holy Spirit, eternally. Amen.

VENI SANCTE SPIRITUS (Golden Sequence)(Latin)
Veni, Sancte Spiritus,
et emitte caelitus

veni, lumen cordium.
Consolator optime,
dulcis hospes animae,
dulce refrigerium.
In labore requies,
in aestu temperies,
in fletu solatium.
O lux beatissima,
reple cordis intima
tuorum fidelium.
Sine tuo numine,
nihil est in homine,
nihil est innoxium.
Lava quod est sordidum,
riga quod est aridum,
sana quod est saucium.
Flecte quod est rigidum,
fove quod est frigidum,
rege quod est devium.
Da tuis fidelibus,
in te confidentibus,
sacrum septenarium.
Da virtutis meritum,
da salutis exitum,
da perenne gaudium.

NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the FATHER Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord JESUS CHRIST, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His Kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the HOLY SPIRIT, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

A PRAYER THAT AN ANGEL TAUGHT THE THREE SHEPHERD CHILDREN OF FATIMA 
(Francisco, Lucia and Jacinta)
(note: this prayer doesn’t have a title)

     Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly and I offer You the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences by which He is offended and through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I ask You for the conversion of poor sinners.

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
      My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
      Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
     I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. 

SOUL OF CHRIST (Anima Christi)
Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Your Wounds, hide me. Permit me not to be separated from You. From the evil one, protect me. At the hour of my death, call me and bid me to come to You, that I may praise you with all Your Saints for ever and ever. Amen.

ANIMA CHRISTI (Latin)

Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Jesu, exaudi me
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Et jube me venire ad te.
Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
In saecula, saeculorum. Amen.

(a prayer dictated by the Blessed Virgin Mary to a soul on the 13th of Jan. 1863)
 
      O august Queen and our Lady of Angels, who received from God the power and mission of crushing the head of Satan, we humbly beg you to send us Heavenly Legions, with Saint Michael the Archangel as head so that under your orders they may chase the demons, combat them everywhere, repress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss.
     “Who is like God?”

     Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

MEMORARE
     Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help and sought your intercession, was left unaided.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise my petition, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

SALVE REGINA
     Salve Regina, Mater misericordiae. Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te Suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

HAIL, HOLY QUEEN

     Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry poor banished children of Eve.

PRAYER TO TAKE AUTHORITY
      In the name of Jesus, I take authority and I bind all powers and forces in the air, in the ground, in the water, in the underground, in the netherworld, in nature and in fire. You are the Lord over the entire universe and I give You the glory for your creation. In Your Name I bind all demonic forces that have come against us and our families and I seal all of us in the protection of Your Precious Blood that was shed for us on the Cross.
     Mary, our Mother, we seek your protection and your intercession with the Sacred Heart of Jesus for us and for our families, and surround us with your mantle of love to discourage the ene

DENOUNCING THE OCCULT
      Heavenly Father, in the Name of Your Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, I denounce Satan and all his works, all forms of witchcraft, the use of divination, the practice of sorcery, dealing with mediums, channeling with spirit guides, the Ouija board, astrology, Reiki, hypnosis, automatic writing, horoscopes, numerology, all types of fortune telling, palm readings, levitation, and anything else associated with the occult or Satan. I renounce and forsake my involvement in all of them in the Name of Jesus Christ who came in the flesh, and by the power of His Cross, His Blood and His Resurrection, I break their hold over my life.
     I confess all these sins before You and ask You to cleanse and forgive me. I forgive myself and ask You, Lord Jesus, to enter my heart and create in me the kind of person You have intended me to be. I ask You to send forth the gifts of Your Holy Spirit to baptize me, just as You baptized Your Disciples on the day of Pentecost.
     I thank You, Heavenly Father, for strengthening my inner spirit with the Power of Your Holy Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in my heart. Through faith, rooted and grounded in love, may I be able to comprehend with all the Saints, the breadth, length, height and depth of Christ’s love which surpasses all understanding. Amen.

BREAKING CURSES
     In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, by the power of His Cross, His Blood and His Resurrection, I take authority over all curses, hexes, spells, voodoo practices, witchcraft assignments, satanic rituals, incantations and evil wishes that have been sent my way, or have passed down the generational bloodline. I break their influence over my life by the power of the risen Lord Jesus Christ, and I command these curses to go back to where they came from and be replaced with a blessing.
      I ask forgiveness for and renounce all negative inner vows and agreements that I have made with the enemy, and I ask that You Lord Jesus Christ release me from any bondage they may have held in me. I claim your shed blood over all aspects of my life, relationships, ministry endeavors and finances. I thank You for your enduring love, your Angelic protection, and for the fullness of Your abundant blessings. 

PRAYER AGAINST EVERY EVIL
(Fr. Amorth; a deliverance prayer)

     Spirit of our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, descend upon me. Please purify me, mold me, fill me with yourself, and use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me; destroy them, vanquish them so that I can be healthy and do good deeds.
     Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, demonic assignments, malefice, maledictions and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful; jealousy, treachery, envy; all physical, psychological, moral, spiritual and diabolical ailments; as well as all enticing spirits, deaf, dumb, blind, mute and sleeping spirits, new-age spirits, occult spirits, religious spirits, antichrist spirits, and any other spirits of death and darkness.
     I command and bid all the powers who molest me—by the power of God Almighty, in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior—to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting lake of fire, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. Amen. 


PRAYER FOR A SPIRITUAL CANOPY
(Fr. Amorth; a deliverance prayer)
     Dear Lord Jesus, please forgive me for all the times I have not submitted to Your will in my life. Please forgive me for all my sinful actions, making agreements with the enemy, and for believing the devil’s lies. I now submit to You as my Lord, dear Jesus. Now I break every agreement that I have made with the enemy.
      Lord Jesus, please send an assignment of Angels to remove and bind to the abyss all demons and their devices that had access to me because I believed their lies. I now ask You to establish a hedge of protection around me, over me and under me, and seal it with Your Blood, Lord Jesus Christ.
      I now choose to put on the full armor of God and ask that You cleanse me and seal me, body, mind, soul and spirit, with Your Blood, Lord Jesus Christ. Please have Your Angelic army bind up and remove all demons, their devices, and all their power from within this protective hedge and have them sent to the abyss.
      Please have Your Angels destroy all demonic, occult or witchcraft assignments directed against me. Please have Your Angels stand guard over me and protect me from all attacks of the enemy. I thank You for establishing an impenetrable shield of protection around me, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

PRAYER FOR INNER HEALING
     Dear Lord Jesus, please come and heal my wounded and troubled heart. I beg You to heal the torments that are causing anxiety in my life. I beg You, in a particular way, to heal the underlying source of my sinfulness. I beg You to come into my life and heal the psychological harms that struck me in my childhood and from the injuries they have caused throughout my life.
     Lord Jesus, you know my burdens. I lay them on Your Good Shepherd’s Heart. I beseech You—by the merits of the great open wound in your heart—to heal the small wounds that are in mine. Heal my memories, so that nothing that has happened to me will cause me to remain in pain and anguish, filled with anxiety.
     Heal, O Lord, all those wounds that have been the cause of evil that is rooted in my life. I want to forgive all those who have offended me. Look to those inner sores that make me unable to forgive. You who came to forgive the afflicted of heart, please, heal my wounded and troubled heart.
     Heal, O Lord Jesus, all those intimate wounds that are the root cause of my physical illness. I offer You my heart. Accept it, Lord, purify it and give me the sentiments of Your Divine Heart.      Heal me, O Lord, from the pain caused by the death of my loved ones. Grant me to regain peace and joy in the knowledge that You are the Resurrection and the Life. Make me an authentic witness to Your Resurrection, Your victory over sin and death, and Your loving presence among all men. Amen. 

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, MARY MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACE
(the last sentence is my revised version)
      Heavenly Father, I call on You right now in a special way. It is through Your Power that I was created. Every breath I take, every morning I wake, and every moment of every hour, I live under Your Power.
     Father, I ask You now to touch me with that same power. For if You created me from nothing, You can certainly recreate me. Fill me with the healing power of Your Spirit. Cast out anything that should not be in me. Mend what is broken. Root out any unproductive cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any affliction.
     Let the warmth of Your Healing Love pass through my body to make new any unhealthy areas so that my body will function the way You created it to function.
     And Father; restore me to full health in mind and body so that I may serve You the rest of my life.
     With the intercession of the Holy Mother of God, Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace, I raise up these petitions in the Name of Yeshua (Hebew name of Jesus) / Isho (Aramaic name of Jesus) Jesus Christ, her Son and our Lord, forever and ever. Amen.

ACT OF PETITION
     My God and Father, without You I can do nothing; with You I can do all that You call me to do. Help me. Give me everything You know I need to live and grow and serve You. Free me from all harassments, afflictions, bondage, and oppression of the devil and his minions; cast away all strongholds evil may have in my life. Heal my soul and bring me to wholeness and to know the Victory of Christ. With confidence I ask Your help in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

(feast day: May 22) (patron saint of impossible causes)

Join your prayers to mine and obtain for me the grace I desire (mention your request).

CLOSING OF DELIVERANCE PRAYERS
      Thank You, Lord Jesus, for awakening my sleeping spirit and bringing me into Your light. Thank You, Lord, for transforming me by the renewing of my mind. Thank You, Lord, for pouring out Your Spirit on me, and revealing Your Word to me. Thank You, Lord, for giving Your angels charge over me in all my ways.

PRAYER FOR PROTECTION/CLEANSING
     Lord Jesus, thank You for sharing with me Your wonderful ministry of healing and deliverance. Thank You for the healing I have experienced today. I realize that the sickness of evil is more than my humanity can bear, so I ask that You please cleanse me of any sadness, negative thinking or despair that I may have picked up during my intercession for others.
     If I have been tempted to anger, impatience or lust, cleanse me of those temptations, and replace them with Your love, joy and peace. If any evil spirits have attached themselves to me or oppressed me in any way, I command you, spirits of earth, fire, water, the netherworld, or the evil forces of nature, to depart now and go straight to Jesus Christ, for Him to deal with you as He wills.
      Come Holy Spirit, renew me, fill me anew with Your Power, Your life and Your joy. Strengthen me where I feel weak and clothe me with Your Light. Fill me with Your life. Lord Jesus, please send Your Holy Angels to minister to me and protect me from all forms of sickness, harm and accidents. I thank You and praise You my Lord, God and King.

ACT OF THANKSGIVING
     My God and Father, I thank You for everything: for the fascinating world about me, for people near and far, for myself, for all Your creation so filled with wondrous things. All that is, is Your gift. All that I am and have, I receive from You. I thank You for everything, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, in whom You give us all good things. Amen.

PSALM 91
     You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
     You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day, or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the punishments of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent.
     For He will command His Angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
     Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL
     O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee, and for those who do not have recourse to thee, especially the enemies of the Church and those recommended to thee. Amen.

Sunt mala Quae Libas.
Ipse Venena Bibas!
