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 curb the power of the devil and prevent him from doing harm. This
adaptation is recommended 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 sincere
penance for your sins,
chastity, modesty,
humility, and detachment from
social acceptance and approval. Also, attend Mass
with purity and reverence, and pray constantly.

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 the devil. Pray therefore the God of Peace to 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; take hold of the dragon, the old serpent,
which is the devil and Satan, and bind his power so that he may be thwarted in seeking the
ruin of my soul.
EXORCISM
N
the name 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 devil 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, flee bands of enemies.
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 drive you from here,
whoever you may be, unclean spirits, all satanic powers, all infernal invaders, all wicked
legions, assemblies, and sects; in the name of and by the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ may you be rebuked and
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.
Most cunning spirits, may the heavenly powers command that your power to deceive me,
persecute me, and torment me be bound.
The Most High God commands you, He
Whom, in your great insolence, you defy and resist, He Who wants all mankind to be saved
and to come to the knowledge of the truth. God the Father commands
you. God the Son commands
you. God the Holy Spirit
commands you. Christ, God’s Word made
flesh, commands you, He Who to save
our race outdone through your 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. The sacred Sign of the Cross commands
you, as does also the power of the
mysteries of the Christian Faith. The
humility of the glorious Mother of God, the Ever-Virgin Mary, commands
you. The blood of the Martyrs
and the pious intercession of all the Saints
command you.
Thus, cursed dragon, and you,
diabolical legions, may you 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 command that your efforts to deceive me and to pour out to me the
poison of eternal damnation be thwarted. May
our Lord Jesus Christ command that your efforts to harm me and hinder my liberty be
thwarted. So you must flee,
Satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man’s salvation; you and
the rebellious angels must give place to our Lord Jesus Christ in Whom are not found any of
your diabolical works; you must give place to the authority of the Holy and
Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. May this Heavenly authority
command you to stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God and to tremble and flee when the
Holy and majestic Name of Jesus is invoked,
this Name which causes hell to tremble, 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.
V. O Lord Jesus, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto You.
Lord, Holy Father, God of
Heaven, God of 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 has power to give life
after death and rest after work, because there is no other God than You and there can be no
other, for You are 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 deliver
me by Your power from the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, their lies, and their
furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to grant me Your powerful protection and 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 I may serve You in loyalty, liberty, and peace,
—I beseech You to hear me, O Lord.
That You may crush the power of the enemies of Your Church,
—grant this, O Lord.
