Minor Exorcism
Glorious prince of the celestial host, St. Michael the archangel, defend us in the conflict we have to sustain against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of darkness in high places. Come to the rescue of men, whom God has created in His image and likeness, and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. It is thou whom the Holy Church venerates as Her guardian and Her protector, thou whom the Holy Lord Jesus Christ has charged to conduct redeemed souls into heaven.
Pray, therefore the God of peace to subdue satan beneath our feet that he may no longer retain men captive, nor do injury to the Church. Present our prayers to the most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us. 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 longer seduce the nations. (Rev. 20:2) (Is. 14:13)
EXORCISM
A portion of the Catholic rite. (This exorcism is a rite, for which the right to write and exercise righteously, rightly is written about here. Wherefore right now-this humble sinner recommends-read it right-put it right where you can exercise this exorcism right frequently - like the right side of your -whatever's right there before you are judged to sit at He who sits at the right hand of the Father. Where your heart is, there also will your treasure be.)
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, of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, and powerful in the Holy authority of our ministry, we confidently undertake 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 before His face. As smoke vanishes, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. (Ps. 67)
Here imagine that Christ is saying or perhaps a priest, as vicar of Christ will say: and you will be with Jesus, at Calvary in your heart, with a Crucifix in your face and Holy Water, sprinkled on your brow.
Priest Behold the Cross of the Lord! Flee bands of enemies.
RecipientThe Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Offspring of David has conquered.
(with gratitude for the grace of exorcism you receive, and awe at the power of the Mighty Body of Christ.)
Priest: May thy mercy descend upon us.
Recipient: 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. By 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 delude 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. (1 Tim., 2:4)
God the Father commands you, God the Son commands you, God the Holy Ghost commands you. Christ commands you, the eternal Word of God made flesh; he who to save our race from 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. (Math., 28:20)
The hidden virtue of the cross requires it of you, as does also the power of the mysteries of the Catholic 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, commands you.
The faith of the holy apostles, Peter and Paul, and of all the saints command you. Thus cursed dragon, and you wicked legions, we adjure you by the living God, by the true God, by the God who so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him may not perish, but have life everlasting. Cease deceiving human creatures and pouring out to them the poison of eternal perdition. Cease harming the Church and hindering Her liberty. Retreat, satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation. Cede the place to Christ, in Whom you have found none of your works. Cede the place to the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. Stoop beneath the all powerful hand of God. Tremble and flee at the evocation of the Holy and Terrible Name of Jesus, this Name to Which the virtues, powers and dominations of heaven are humbly submissive; this Name Which the cherubim and seraphim praise unceasingly, repeating, "holy, holy, holy is the Lord, the God of hosts."
Priest: O Lord, hear my prayer!
Recipient: And let my cry come unto thee.
Priest: May the Lord be with you.
Recipient: And with your spirit.
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, God of Whose reign there shall be no end, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Glorious majesty and we supplicate Thee to deliver us from the all the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares and furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord to protect us by Thy power and preserve us safe and sound. We beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. From the snares of the devil, deliver us O Lord; that Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty. We beseech Thee to hear us! That Thou would crush down all enemies of the Church- we beseech Thee to hear us. (here it is recommended to say one Hail Mary and one Our Father slowly and reverently, pray at least 3 hours in honor of Jesus' crucifixion, say the rosary frequently, read the Bible, sing psalms of praise and pray ye always and never feint).
the end is near!!
