Holy Spirit, Lord of light,
from the clear celestial height,
thy pure beaming radiance give;
come, thou Father of the poor,
come with treasures which endure;
come, thou Light of all that live!

Thou, of all consolers best,
thou, the soul’s delightsome guest,
dost refreshing peace bestow:
thou in toil art comfort sweet,
pleasant coolness in the heat,
solace in the midst of woe.

Light immortal, light divine,
visit thou these hearts of thine,
and our inmost being fill:
if thou take thy grace away,
nothing pure in us will stay;
all his good is turned to ill.

Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
on our dryness pour thy dew;
wash the stains of guilt away:
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
melt the frozen, warm the chill;
guide the steps that go astray.

Thou, on those who evermore
thee confess and thee adore,
in thy sevenfold gifts descend:
Give them comfort when they die;
give them life with thee on high;
give them joys that never end.

— Ascribed to Stephen Langton (d. 1228), tr. Edward Caswall (1814-78)

My Mother, in whom I trust!
Mary, Mother of grace,
Mother of mercy,
protect us from the enemy,
and receive us at the hour of our death.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The Lord will guard you from evil,
he will guard your soul.
The Lord will guard your coming and going
both now and for ever.
(Psalm 121 (120):7-8)

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!
(Luke 18:38)

Take up the whole armour of God,
That you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand firm.
(Eph 6:13)

Gospel: Luke 7:19-23
John the Baptist, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” And when the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?’” In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight. And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”

O God, author and lover of peace,
to know you is to live, to serve you is to reign;
defend against every attack those who cry to you,
so that we, who trust in your protection,
may not fear the weapons of any foe.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, our refuge in trials,
our strength in sickness, our comfort in sorrow,
spare your people, we pray,
that, though rightly chastised now by affliction,
they may find relief at last through your loving mercy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, whose Son, dying on the altar of the Cross,
willed that the most Blessed Virgin Mary,
whom he had chosen as his Mother,
should be our Mother also,
graciously grant, we pray,
that we, who fly to her protection,
may find comfort by invoking our Mother’s name.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

O God, who in your unfathomable providence
are pleased to send your holy Angels to guard us,
hear our supplication as we cry to you,
that we may always be defended by their protection
and rejoice eternally in their company.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

Hear us, Lord,
and send your angel from heaven
to visit and protect,
to comfort and defend
all who live in this house.
Amen.

Blessed Joseph, husband of Mary, be with us this day.
You protected and cherished the Virgin;
loving the Child Jesus as your Son,
you rescued him from danger of death.
Defend the Church, the household of God,
purchased by the blood of Christ.

Guardian of the holy family,
be with us in our trials.
May your prayers obtain for us
the strength to flee from error
and wrestle with the powers of corruption
so that in life we may grow in holiness
and in death rejoice in the crown of victory.
Amen.

— Leo XIII (1810–1903)

Spirit of our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, angels, archangels, and saints of heaven, descend upon me.
Please purify me, Lord, mold me, fill me with yourself, use me.
Banish all the forces of evil from me, destroy them, defeat them, so that I can be healthy and do good deeds.

Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, evil spells, ties, curses, and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions;
all that is evil and sinful, jealousy, deceitfulness, envy;
physical, psychological, moral, spiritual and diabolical ailments.

Burn all these evils in hell, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world.
I command and bid all the powers who molest me—by the power of God all-powerful, in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary,
to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting hell where they will be bound
by Saint Michael the archangel, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael, our guardian angels,
and where they will be crushed under the heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.

O St. Joseph, guardian and protector of the Holy Family,
I come before you in humility and with trust, seeking your intercession and protection.
You were entrusted with the sacred duty of safeguarding Jesus and Mary,
and I implore you to extend your loving care over me and my loved ones.

St. Joseph, defender against evil and adversity, shield us from all harm and danger.
Protect us from physical harm, emotional distress, and spiritual attacks.
Help us to navigate the challenges and trials of life with strength, courage, and grace.

Intercede for us, dear St. Joseph, that we may be granted the blessings of safety, security, and peace.
Guide us in making wise decisions and lead us on the path of righteousness.
May your loving presence surround us and keep us from all harm.

St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come before you in faith, acknowledging the power and significance of your precious blood.
I plead the covering of your blood over me and my loved ones, from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet.

By the power of your blood, I renounce every form of evil, sin, temptation, and affliction that seeks to harm us.
I break off and tear down every stronghold and power of darkness.
Lord, fill us with your Holy Spirit and protect us from all harm and danger.

I thank you, Jesus, for shedding every drop of your precious blood
to redeem us and set us free from the clutches of Satan.
I trust in the power of your blood to shield us and keep us safe from all evil influences.

May the blood of Jesus be a fortress around us,
guarding us from all forms of spiritual attack.
Cover us with your divine protection and grant us peace and security in your loving embrace.

In your mighty name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

O God, you who protect us, I invoke you for the protection and blessing of this house (room). May all evil spirits be banished from here, and may your holy presence fill this place.
Guard and protect those who live here from all harm and grant them peace.

In your mighty name, Lord, I ask this. Amen.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth with His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion with His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection with His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In the obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In the predictions of prophets,
In the preaching of apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of holy virgins,
In the deeds of righteous men.

I arise today, through
The strength of heaven,
The light of the sun,
The radiance of the moon,
The splendor of fire,
The speed of lightning,
The swiftness of wind,
The depth of the sea,
The stability of the earth,
The firmness of rock.

I arise today, through
God’s strength to pilot me,
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptation of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill, afar and near.

Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
