Purification Prayer

Jesus, pour Thy Precious Blood over me, my body, mind, soul, and spirit; my conscious and sub-conscious; my intellect and will; my feelings, thoughts, emotions and passions, my words and actions; my vocation, my relationships, family, friends and possessions. Protect with Thy Precious Blood all other activities of my life.

Lord I dedicate all of these things to Thee, and I acknowledge Thee as Lord and Master of all. Mary, Immaculate Conception, pure and holy Virgin Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, draw each of us under Thy veil; guard me and shield me against all attacks and temptations that would violate the virtue of chastity.

Lord Jesus Christ, I beg Thee for the grace to remain guarded beneath the protective mantle of Mary, surrounded by the holy briar from which was taken the Holy Crown of Thorns, and saturated with Thy Precious Blood in the power of the Holy Spirit, with our Guardian Angels for the greater glory of the Father. Amen.

Prayer For Fortitude

Jesus lay your wounded hand upon my weary head,
teach me to have courage in the paths that I must tread.
Bless me, and bless those whom I love,
and give us grace to see these crosses
bravely borne by us will keep us close to Thee.
And if at times a shadow falls in unexpected ways,
put Your gentle Hand in mine and guide me through the days.
So bless my people, one and all, with Your protecting grace,
and impart to them Your wisdom before they meet You face to face.

Amen.

“The Holy Cross be my light,

May the dragon never be my guide.

Get away, Satan!”

Drink the poison yourself!”

Prayer to St. Benedict to Ward Off Evil Spirits

“In the name of God the Father Almighty, through the intercession of St. Benedict, keep away from me and my loved ones, evil spirits; Good spirits, shield us against them! Malign spirits, you inspire wrong thoughts to men, malicious spirits, liars, you lead them into deception. mocking spirits, you play with human’s credulity. I reject you with all the power of my soul, and I close my ears to your suggestions. I call upon me the Mercy of God; Good spirits, I implore you, assist me in this battle. Give us the strength to resist evil influences; shine your light on the snares of evil spirits, keep us from pride and arrogance. Good spirits, do not let jealousy, hatred, malevolence, or any feeling other than love grow in our hearts, for these feelings open the doors to the Spirit of Evil. Amen.
