Prayer For Deliverance From Evil

 

PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM EVIL

Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!

From famine and war, deliver us. From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us. From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us. From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin: individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations. Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the Redemption: the power of merciful Love! May it put a stop to evil! May it transform consciences! May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!

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. .

O glorious prince St. Michael, 

chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, 

guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, 

servant in the house of the Divine King

and our admirable conductor, 

you who shine with excellence

and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil,

who turn to you with confidence

and enable us by your gracious protection

to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mary Undoer of Knots

 

PRAYER TO MARY UNDOER OF KNOTS 

"In the name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, 

Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, 

Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children 

because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy 

that exists in your heart, cast your compassionate eyes upon me 

and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life. 

You know very well how desperate I am, 

my pain and how I am bound by these knots.

 

Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted 

the undoing of the knots in the lives of His children, 

I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life. 

No one, not even the evil one himself, 

can take it away from your precious care. 

In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone. 

Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power 

with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus, take into your hands 

today this knot...I beg you to undo it for the glory of God,

once for all, You are my hope. 

O my Lady, you are the only consolation

God gives me, the fortification of my feeble strength, 

the enrichment of my destitution and with Christ 

the freedom from my chains. 

Hear my plea. 

Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!

Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me."

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

O ANGEL OF GOD, my holy guardian, given to me from heaven, enlighten me this day, and save me from all evil. Instruct me in doing good deeds, and set me on the path of salvation, through the Eucharistic Body and Blood of the Lord!

O ANGEL OF CHRIST, holy companion and protector of my soul and body, forgive me of everything I have done to offend you every day, and protect me from all influence and temptation of the evil one. May I never offend God by my sin. Pray for me to Jesus, that He may make me worthy of the grace of the All-holy Trinity, and of the Most Blessed Mary, and of all the Saints. Amen.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PITY (An indulgence of 500 days )

PRAYER TO OUR LADY OF PITY 

KNEELING at Thy most sacred feet, I venerate thee, great Queen of Heaven, with the deepest reverence, and I confess that thou art the Daughter of God, the Father, the Mother of the Divine Word, and the Bride of the Holy Ghost. Thou art full of grace, virtue and heavenly gifts; thou art the most pure temple of the Holy Trinity. Thou art the treasurer and dispenser of God's mercies. Thy pure heart is overflowing with charity, sweetness and tenderness for us, poor sinners; wherefore we name thee our Lady of Divine Pity. Hence it is with sure confidence that I present myself before thee, our most loving Mother, afflicted and straitened on every side, and I beseech thee to make me feel the love thou hast for me, by granting me (..............), if it is in conformity with the will of God and profitable to my salvation.

 Ah, I beseech thee, turn thy pure eyes upon me and upon all who are dear to me. Consider the cruel warfare waged by the world, the flesh and the devil against our souls, and see how many are perishing in the strife. Remember, most tender Mother, that we are thy children, purchased by the Precious Blood of thine only-begotten Son. Deign to pray for us without ceasing to the Blessed Trinity, that we may have the grace to be ever victorious over the devil, the world and all our perverse passions; that grace whereby the just may sanctify themselves ever more and more, sinners may be converted, heresies destroyed, unbelievers enlightened and the Jews brought to the light of faith. Ask this grace for us, dearest Mother, through the infinite goodness of God most high, the merits of thy most holy Son, the anxious care wherewith thou didst wait upon Him, the love with which thou didst cherish Him, the tears thou didst shed and the sorrows thou didst undergo during His Passion. Amen. 

(An indulgence of 500 days S.C. March 26, 1860, S.P. Ap. April 8,1931)

PRAYER TO OUR LORD JESUS*

O Jesus, my Savior, my Lord and my God, my God and my All, who, through the sacrifice of the cross, redeemed us and overcame the power of Satan, I beseech You to free me from every harmful presence and influence of evil.

I ask this in Your Name;

I ask this for the sake of Your wounds,

I ask this through Your blood,

I ask this for the sake of Your cross,

I ask this through the intercession of Mary, Immaculate and Virgin, our Lady of Sorrows. May the blood and water which gushed forth from Your side flow down upon me to purify, free, and heal me. Amen.

Died: June 9, 1837, Rome, Italy

†PRAYER DICTATED BY THE MOTHER OF GOD TO BLESSED ANNA MARIA TAIGI†

Prostrate at thy holy feet, Great Queen of Heaven, I venerate thee with profoundest reverence, and acknowledge thee as the DAUGHTER of God the Father, the MOTHER of the Divine Word, and the SPOUSE of the Holy Ghost. Thou art the treasurer and the distributor of Their mercies. It is because of thy most pure heart, so full of charity, sweetness, and tenderness for sinners, that I call thee Mother of Divine Compassion. Wherefore I present myself to thee with great confidence, my most loving mother; I am in affliction and filled with anguish, and I pray thee to make me taste the truth of thy love by granting me the grace I ask of thee, if it be conformable to the Divine Will and good for my soul (Here name your petitions). I entreat thee to turn thy most pure eyes upon me and all belonging to me, especially those who have recommended themselves to my prayers. Behold the terrible war which the devil, the world, and the flesh wage against our souls, and how many of these souls perish.

Remember, O Most Tender Mother that we are all thy children, bought by the Precious Blood of thine only Son. Deign most ardently to pray the Blessed Trinity to grant me the grace always to vanquish the devil, the world, and all my bad passions, that grace by which the just are sanctified yet more, sinners reclaimed, heresies destroyed, infidels enlightened, Jews converted. Ask, most loving mother, this grace through the infinite goodness of the Most High God, by the merits of thy Most Holy Son, by the milk with which thou didst nourish Him, by the devotedness with which thou didst serve Him, by the love wherewith thou didst love Him, by the tears which thou didst shed, by the sorrow thou didst experience in His most Sacred Passion. Obtain for me this great gift, that the whole world may form one only people, and one only Church, which may render glory, honour, and thanksgiving to the Blessed Trinity and to thee who art the mediatrix. May this grace be accorded to me by the POWER of the FATHER, the WISDOM of the SON, and the VIRTUE of the HOLY GHOST. Amen.

Mother, behold the extreme peril of thy children. Mother, who can do all things, have pity on us. Virgo potens, ora pro nobis. Three Ave Marias. Eternal Father, increase ever more in the hearts of the faithful devotion to Mary Thy Daughter. Eternal Son, increase ever more in the hearts of the faithful devotion to Mary Thy Mother. Eternal Spirit, increase ever more in the hearts of the faithful devotion to Mary Thy Spouse. 'Gloria Patri.'

- From the life of Blessed Anna Maria Taigi by Edward Thompson, "Having seen in the mysterious sun the loss of many souls, Anna Maria had been interceding fervently with the Blessed Virgin for their salvation, when the Mother of God was pleased to dictate to her this prayer." Cardinal Pedicini himself took this prayer to the Sovereign Pontiff, Pius VII, who, by a rescript of the 6th March, 1809, granted an indulgence of a hundred days, to be gained for every recital, with a plenary indulgence once a month on the usual conditions."

Prayer for a Soul in Purgatory to Saint Joseph

 

Prayer To Saint Joseph for a Soul in Purgatory 

By Father Donald Calloway

Devote time to pray for the souls of departed loved ones. St. Joseph is the Patron of a peaceful and happy death, and is also a very powerful intercessor for the souls in purgatory.  Let us pray with him. 

Prayer :

Saint Joseph, reigning in heaven with Jesus and Mary, intercede for the souls in purgatory.  Today in particular, I ask you to turn your gaze to the soul who is most forgotten in purgatory. This soul longs to see the face of God. O good father, ask the Holy Trinity  to take this soul to the glory of heaven today. 

Remember me Saint Joseph when I die. I beg you to be prompt in delivering me from purgatory, so that I can see you, Jesus and Mary, face to face. Amen.
