Introduction
Prayer Against Satan and the Rebellious Angels
 he
following adapted version of the Prayer Against Satan and the Rebellious Angels is a private
prayer that can be said to help protect yourself whenever you experience demonic oppression.
This adapted version can be used safely by the laity, but only individually and privately and not
in a group setting. Note carefully that this adaptation is not intended to cast a demon out of
someone who is possessed.
Note also that the original English translation of
this prayer was intended to be used by a priest serving under ecclesiastical authority, and so
it can be dangerous when lay individuals try to command demons through their own personal authority.
Accordingly, I have edited the text so that the laity can say this prayer safely by calling upon
our Lord Jesus Christ to act on our behalf to command the demons.
Still, as powerful as this prayer is,
demons are relentless and will always be in the world around you looking for openings to oppress you.
Thus, for your best protection, it is important that your life be governed by
chastity; modesty; humility;
reverence for the Holy Body and Blood of Christ; sincere penance for
your sins; persistent renunciation of the evil spirits attached to
disordered behaviors; and constant heartfelt prayer for guidance in a mission of service to God,
for courage to face the reality of evil, for strength to fight with love against evil,
and for perseverance to continue in the face of any opposition.
Prayer Against Satan and the Rebellious
Angels
THE ORIGINAL VERSION WAS PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF POPE
LEO XIII
 N the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
 OST
glorious Prince of the Heavenly Host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend me in the
battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness,
against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Come to the assistance of me whom
God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the
tyranny of evil. Pray therefore the holy God to rebuke and crush the power of
Satan here, that he may be prevented from doing injury to me. Offer my prayers to the
Most High, that they may readily draw His mercy down upon me and that the rebellious
angels may be thwarted in seeking the ruin of my soul.
EXORCISM
N
the name of and by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the intercession of blessed
Mary ever Virgin, Mother of God, of blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles
Peter and Paul and all the Saints, may the attacks and deceits of the diabolical legions be
here repulsed.
God arises; His enemies are scattered
and those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so are they driven; as
wax melts before the fire, so the wicked perish at the presence of God.
V. Behold
the Cross of the Lord; demons flee from those who love the Cross.
R. He has
conquered, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the offspring of David.
V. May Your
mercy, Lord, descend upon me.
R. As great as my hope in You.
The crosses [  ]
indicate that the Sign of the Cross is to be made silently at
that time.
May our Lord Jesus Christ rebuke and drive from here,
all unclean spirits, whoever they may be; all diabolical powers; all infernal invaders; all wicked
legions, assemblies, and sects. In the name of and by the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ may they be driven away
from me, for my soul was made to the image and likeness of God and redeemed by the
Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb.
May the heavenly powers who love and reverently serve our Lord Jesus Christ command that I be
protected from the power of those most cunning spirits to inflict oppression, persecution, and
torment.
May the Most High God command them, He
Whom, in their great insolence, they defy and resist, He Who wants all mankind to be saved
and to come to the knowledge of the truth. May God the Father command
them. May God the Son command
them. May God the Holy Spirit
command them. May our Lord Jesus
Christ, God’s Word made flesh,
command them, He Who to save
our race outdone through their envy, humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death,
He Who has built His Church on the firm rock and declared that the gates of hell shall
not prevail against Her, because He will dwell with Her all days even to the end of the
world. May the sacred Sign of the Cross thwart
them. May the power of the
mysteries of the Christian Faith thwart them.
May the humility of the glorious Mother of God, the Ever-Virgin Mary, thwart
them. May the blood of the Martyrs
and the pious intercession of all the Saints
thwart them.
Thus, may Satan and the diabolical legions be adjured
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 to us, that every soul believing in Him
might not perish but have life everlasting.
May our Lord Jesus Christ rebuke Satanic efforts to pour out to me the
poison of eternal damnation. May
our Lord Jesus Christ rebuke Satanic efforts to harm me and hinder my
liberty. All the rebellious
angels, those masters of fraud and deceit, enemies of man’s salvation, must submit to our Lord
Jesus Christ in Whom are not found any of their diabolical works; they must submit to the authority
of the Holy and Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. And so, may this
Heavenly authority command infernal powers to stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God and flee
when the Holy and majestic Name of Jesus is
invoked, this Name to which
the Virtues, Powers, and Dominations of Heaven kneel in humble reverence, this Name which the
Cherubim and Seraphim praise unceasingly, repeating: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of
Hosts.
V. O Lord Jesus, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto You.
Lord, Holy Father, God of
Heaven and Earth, God of Archangels, God of Angels, God of Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God
of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Confessors, God of Virgins, God Who is the Creator of
all things, visible and invisible, of Whose reign there shall
be no end, I humbly revere Your glorious Majesty Your glorious Majesty, and I beseech You to
grant me Your powerful protection and to deliver me from the tyranny of the infernal spirits,
from their snares, their lies, and their furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to keep me safe
through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, through all the ages of ages. Amen.
From the snares of the rebellious angels,
—deliver me, O Lord.
That You may break the power of the enemies
of the Church,
—grant this, O Lord.
That I may serve You in loyalty, liberty, and peace,
—I beseech You to hear me, O Lord.
