Prayer to St. Michael the
+ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Most glorious Prince of the Celestial Host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the conflict which we 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 (Eph. 6.12). Come to the rescue of men whom God has created to His image and likeness, and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. It is thou whom
Exorcism
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel and Blessed Gabriel the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, especially St. Enoch and St. Elijah in the flesh Thy holy prophets yet to return, we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil.

Psalm 67
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.
V. Behold the Cross of the Lord! Flee, bands of enemies.
R. The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root and the Offspring of David has conquered.
V. May Thy mercy descend upon us.
R. As great as our hope in Thee.
+ We drive you from us, whoever you may be, 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 Church of God and from the souls redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb.
+ Cease by your audacity, cunning serpent, to deceive the human race, to persecute the Church, to torment God's elect, and to sift 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 (I Tim. 2.4). God the Father commands you.
+ God the Son commands you.
+ God the Holy Spirit commands you.
+ Christ, the Eternal Word of God made Flesh, commands you.
+ He Who to save our race, outdone through your malice, humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death (Phil. 2.8). He Who has built His Church on the firm rock and declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Her, because He dwells with Her all days, even to the consummation of the world (Matt. 28.20). The hidden virtue of the Cross commands it of you, as does the power of the mysteries of the Christian Faith.
+ The glorious Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you.
+ She who by Her humility and from the first moment of Her Immaculate Conception crushed your proud head. The faith of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul and of the other Apostles commands you.
+ The blood of the Martyrs and the pious intercession of all the Saints command you.
+ St. Enoch and St. Elijah in the flesh, The holy prophets yet to return of the Holy God, command you.
+ Thus, cursed dragon, and you, wicked legions, we bind you by the living God,
+ by the true God,
+ by the Holy God,
+ by the God Who so loved the world, as to give up His only-begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but may have life everlasting (St. John 3.16). Cease deceiving human creatures and pouring out to them the poison of eternal perdition. Cease harming the Church and hindering her liberty. Begone, Satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation. Give the place to Christ in Whom you have found none of your works. Give the place to the One, Holy, Catholic, and
V. O Lord hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. O Lord be with us.
R. And with our spirit.
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 Confessors, God of Virgins, God who has 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. We humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy glorious Majesty and we supplicate Thee to deliver us from all the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, their lies, and their furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to protect us by Thy power and to preserve us safe and sound. We beseech Thee through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Thy beloved and Only-begotten Son Incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the Unity and Power and bond of Love of the Holy Spirit our Paraclete, unceasingly and now and always and unto the endless ages of ages to come. Amen.
V. From the snares of the devil,
R. Deliver us, O Lord.
V. That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty,
R. We beseech Thee hear us.
V. That Thou would crush down all enemies of Thy holy Church,
R. We beseech Thee hear us.
Saint Michael the
