The exquisitely beautiful Trisagion Prayers, intoned by the nine choirs of Holy Angels - Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels and Angels - give "endless praise" to the Holy Trinity in Heaven.

Throughout man's history these prayers were transmitted by the Persons of the Holy Trinity to various saintly people such as Isaias, john the Apostle and Evangelist, St. Anthony Claret, and most reverently in our times to Reverend Mother Concepcion Zuniga Lopez, Abbess and Foundress of the Franciscan Minims of Perpetual Help of Mary of the Order of Atonement.  We are indebted to this exemplary religious for these extraordinary prayers now offered for your personal usage.

When these prayers were given to St. Anthony Claret who lived from 1807 to 1870, he was informed by the Holy Spirit, Third Person of the Holy Trinity, that many chastisements due to mankind because of its fallen nature, would be considerable mitigated for those persons who would pray the Trisagion Prayers entirely. This should be done at least once a week or more often. The evils from which these persons would be delivered are enumerated on page 12.  The Trisagion Prayers are recorded on pages 1 to 17 and are followed by other prayers, some of which also were originated in Heaven and were greatly loved by Almighty God and Blessed Virgin Mary, thus comprising a group of splendid prayers for daily use.

Since our world is sinking very rapidly in its attitudes toward Almighty God, so as to almost obliterate His being, this laxity thus causing diminishing morals and lessened reverence for holy persons and things so that sin and vice prevail everywhere, mankind falls deeper and deeper into a dark pit of its own making, thereby meriting many punishments and chastisements from God for its errant ways. Unlike the angels, man is not inclined to give Almighty God "endless praise." He spends little time in prayer and his slight offering is usually given amid countless distractions.

A great Warning has been promised to descend on mankind very soon to be followed by a very great Chastisement if man does not convert and change his errant ways. The prayers will help as a preparation for these events to come.

It would be wise, for those who fully comprehend the need to make a suitable reparation to the Most Holy Trinity Who is so greatly maligned and offended in these days of great spiritual darkness. What more effective way can be found to please the Holy Trinity that to use the prayers of the Angels and the other prayers so greatly esteemed and desired by Heaven? Remember that the prayer is essential to life.

"…Let the Trisagion, the Rosary, the Hymn to the Heavenly Father and the Hymn to the Holy Ghost be intoned everywhere.  And for Me, the Son, let them say the Pater Noster, well recited, complete and without mutilation, as I taught it to My Disciples. Let the Holy mass be in Latin and in the manner that the Council of Trent left it defined forever. And for the Virgin Mother, the Angelus, the Magnificat, the Hail Holy Queen and the Hail Mary. These prayers are indispensable to all My redeemed; and let them keep Lent devoutly. Let the continually use the ejaculation: 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Hail Mary Most Pure,' because the demons flee just on hearing it."

Words of Our Lord to the Portavoz October 29, 1974
 
 

In a letter to Mother Maria Antonia de San Pedro, Saint Anthony Claret writes, "God, our Lord, has made known to me in a very clear way the necessity that we have to pray and to promote the devotion of the Trisagion, and of the Most Holy Rosary and devotion of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, frequently visiting Him and receiving Him in Most Holy Communion."

In particular the Trisagion is a s Saint Anthony Claret says, "an impenetrable shield against all the evils that God has sent on earth as a chastisement for our sins."

THE TRISAGION

Invocation:

V. Oh Lord, open my lips.
R. And my tongue shall announce Thy praise.

V. Oh God, come to my assistance.
R. Oh Lord make haste to help me.

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Preparatory  Act:

Oh, Most Merciful God, Unity in Essence and Trinity in Persons, behold here one of Thy humble creatures, who recognizes within itself the venerable image of Thy Most Holy Trinity. I confess that I have not fulfilled my obligations with the honor to which this diving likeness obliges me. I have sinned, my God, but I never denied Thy Trinity. Rather, I have firmly believed in the Father, in the Son, and in the Holy Ghost: that the Father has no beginning; that the Son is begotten of the Father, with Whom He is consubstantial; and that the Holy Ghost is the object of the reciprocal love of the Father and Son, from Whom He proceeds and with Whom He is consubstantial; and the Father is not superior to the Son, nor are they superior to the Holy Ghost. I adore the Father as God, the Son as God, and the Holy Ghost as God; nevertheless, in the Three I believe and adore only a Single God. I do not understand this mystery, Oh Lord, by my understanding is fascinated by virtue of Faith, for Thy greater glory and my merit. I offer these most profound sentiments of piety, of reverence and of love, as most pleasing supplications of Thy sanctity, so that through them Thou mayest forgive so many offences committed by me against Thy uncreated majesty. Oh, Most Blessed Trinity! The miserable trinity of my facilities sighs for Thee: my memory, tainted by weakness; my understanding, infected by ignorance; my will, perverted by the inclination to evil. Heal me, sanctify me, and give me help so I may never lack the intentions with which Thou hast deigned to inspire me; for I promise to dedicate myself, from now on, to upholding the dignity of the practices that correspond to Thy own character, with which Thou hast sealed me; to appreciate it as fully as I possibly can with Thy grace; and to avail myself of Thy grace to preserve in devotion and in the mystery of Thy Most August Trinity, in Whom I hope to find mercy, compassion and benevolence forever. Amen.
 

Hymn:

Fire that burns and never dies,
Perpetual light, Thy Unity;
Fill our minds, our hearts and souls
With Thy love, Oh Trinity.

Take us to our Heav'nly Home,
Night and day we pray to Thee.
Take us there to sing Thy praise
With sacred hymns eternally…

To the Father, to the Son,
To the Holy Ghost - all One.
Let glory e'er be given Thee,
Now - and in eternity. Amen.
 

(Then one Our Father and one Glory be to the Father is said before the prayers for each of the Three Persons of THE HOLY TRINITY in which the SERAPHIM, CHERUBIM and THRONES address GOD THE FATHER; the DOMINIONS, VIRTUES and POWERS address GOD THE SON; the PRINCIPALITIES, ARCHANGELS and ANGELS address GOD THE HOLY GHOST, as follows:)

Amen.

Joys to the Triune God:

To our God three times Holy, Cherubim and Seraphim, Angels chant in endless hymn, singing: Holy Holy, Holy.

(Repeat the last two lines of this verse after each stanza)

1. Oh Trinity Divine.
One in Essence most supreme,
Font from where all good things stream
Solely through Thy generosity;
And Thy tender clemency
Ends our weeping and our woe. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.

2. Oh Deity most pleasing,
With humility we praise Thee,
And for Thy pardon we beg Thee,
For our evil and our blindness
Through Thy graciousness,
In this hymn of mysteries. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.

3. The Trisagion that Isaias
Wrote, consumed with burning zeal,
When he heard from Heaven voices peal
      As angelic hierarchies
  Sang their golden melodies
Praising God harmoniously. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:

4. The Apostle St. John
Heard mystic creatures singing,
Joyfully their voices ringing
To a rhythm unceasing
And with voices untiring,
Without toil, weakness or pain. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.
 

5. By its grace the Trisagion,
With the strength of God's Divine arm,
Shields us mightily from all harm,
From the lighting and from all plague,
And from sudden death and 'quake,
Freeing us from every calamity. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.

6. Of  Justice Divine
The emblem most glorious
With which Christians victorious
Overcome all evil infernal
And the malice of the devil,
Who, in awe and fright, quickly flees. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.

7. Like the rainbow in the sky
Over land and over sea,
God's pledge to set us free
Manifest for all to see;
It protects us to such a degree.
By it's grace divine and singular. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.

8. Holy God, strong and immortal,
In Thy patronage I confide
So that when in Heaven I abide,
I will sing with all Thy choirs
This great hymn that so much inspires
Glory, hon'r  and praise to Thee. Angels chant in endless hymn, singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy.
 

Antiphon:

Blessed by the Most Holy Trinity and undivided Unity of God. We confess this Most August Mystery of Thy Being with as much reverence as we can, because Thou dost not cease to exercise Thy mercy with us.

V. Blessed art Thou, Oh Lord, in the vault of heaven.
R. And the earth is filled with Thy glory.

Let us pray:

Almighty and Eternal God, Who has granted to Thy servants the grace of knowing, through the confession of the true faith, the glory of the Eternal Trinity of Thy persons, and of adoring in the power of its Majesty, the Unity of Thy incomprehensible nature: we implore Thee, that by our fidelity in that same faith we may be freed from all types of adversities.

HYMN TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER

Music and words by Mary of the Immaculate, Inspiration of Thursday, July 6, 1972.

CHORUS: We implore Thee, Sweet Hope, Father Eternal
   Send us quickly, Thy Son, Truth Supernal.
   May our Vine, Thine own Fruit, Sempiternal,
   To our pleadings, dear Father, incline.

STANZAS: At Thy feet, O True God, humbly kneeling,
   With Thy Victim Divine interceding;
   We unite in this Triduum our pleasing,
   For ungrateful mankind so unheeding.

(Repeat CHORUS)

   Please accept, loving Father, we implore Thee,
   Loving praises with which we adore;
   Through the Virgin, our Mother benign,
   Favored by Her Creator Divine.

(Repeat CHORUS)

   Fervent praises we offer to Thee above,
   For ineffable showers of Thy Love.
   Since Thy Infinite Love for us has no bounds,
   In the abyss, "Asmodeus" it confounds.

(Repeat CHORUS)

PRAYER TO THE HEAVENLY FATHER
(To be said when possible with the arms in the form of a cross)

Our Father, Who art in Heaven!…Send Jesus to us quickly! Send Him soon, we pray Thee. With Faith, with Love, with an ardent desire, we humbly beseech Thee to grant us this favor. Let Jesus come quickly, we implore Thee, that He may rescue so many sheep that are going astray on the way of perdition. Oh, Heavenly Father, we, Thy poor children here on earth, implore Thee! We supplicate Thee! We confidently hope to obtain this favor from Thee. Amen.
HYMN TO THE HOLY GHOST

Come, Oh Holy Ghost, come!
From Your bright and blissful Home
Rays of healing light impart.

Come, Father of the poor,
Source of gifts that will endure
Light of ev'ry human heart.

You of all consolers best,
Of the soul most kindly Guest,
Quick'ning courage do bestow.

In hard labor You rest,
In the heat You refresh best,
And solace give in our woe.

Oh most blessed Light divine,
Let Your radiance in us shine,
And our inmost being fill.

Nothing good by man is thought,
Nothing right by him is wrought,
When He spurs Your gracious Will.

Cleanse our souls from sinful stain,
Lave our dryness with Your rain,
Heal our wounds and mend our way.

Bend the stubborn heart and will,
Melt the frozen, warn the chill,
Guide the steps that go astray.

On the faithful who in You,
Trust with childlike piety,
Deign Your sevenfold gift to send.
Give them joys that never end. Amen.

As in the Traditional Rosary, the Creed is said on the Crucifix.
 

                                                              Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.  He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again.  He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory Be to the Father

Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness and our hope! To Thee do we cry poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile, show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

O Clement, O Loving, O sweet Virgin Mary
Pray for us O Holy Mother of God.
That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:

O God, our refuge and our strength, graciously look upon Thy people who cry to Thee; and through the intercession of the glorious and Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Joseph, Her spouse, and of Thy Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and all of the saints, in Thy mercy and kindness hear the prayers which we pour forth for the conversion of sinners and for the freedom and exaltation of Holy Mother the Church. Through Christ Our Lord.  Amen.

The Magnificat

My soul doth magnify the Lord.  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because He that is mighty has done great things unto me; and holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation to generation; unto them that fear Him.
He has showed might with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seats and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath helped His servant Israel: being mindful of His mercy.
As He spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed forever.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, etc…

Let us pray:

Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, that we Thy servants, may enjoy perpetual health, both of mind and body, and by the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary, ever virgin, may be delivered from present sorrow, and attain into eternal joy through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Mary, God's Masterpiece

Mary was conceived in the Mind of God from the very moment of Creation, the Triune Godhead planning her as a creature above the angels and above the saints, endowed with far greater graces that any other created beings, and the proper vehicle, in Her emergence in time, to give humanity to the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.

Because the angels, in the epochs before the Creation of Man, were illuminated in the knowledge of the subsequent creation of man and also in the superiority of this exceptional creature of mankind to supersede that of the angels, a rebellion resulted among the angels when lucifer, the lightbearer, desired to be higher than God in order to be above the "woman". A great battle arose in Heaven among the angels and lucifer, the Highest of the angels, with one-third of all the angels, was vanquished from Heaven. And so there was enmity between lucifer and the "woman" which continues to this present day.

When the time came for Mary to be born into the world in order to prepare herself for her eventual rose and the "Mother of God," she was allowed to become conceived by a holy, but apparently barren, mother. From the moment of her conception she was endowed with a Plentitude of Grace far surpassing that of any other created being. At her birth she, alone, came into the work without Original Sin, remaining sinless throughout her sojourn in the world, a fit receptacle for the Person of God and a suitable Mother and Companion to Him during the time He chose to live with men, hanging from the Cross, Jesus chose to live with men.  Hanging from the Cross, Jesus bequeathed His Mother to mankind, giving Her as His gift to each of us.

It is here that this Mother, who so shared in man's salvation, whose Heart was pierced by the sword of our sins, by Her sufferings and through Her bitter sorrows with Jesus in all of His Redemptive Acts, has gained Her Crown above and beyond that of any soul ever created, and thus deserves to be regarded as Co-Redemptrix with Jesus.

Mary, possessing every possible virtue, was the humblest of all creatures, never wishing attention for herself, but only desiring to bring her adopted children closer to Her Divine Son, She is likened to the moon which gives its reflected light from the sun in order to illuminate the darkness of the earth, yet is not the "light." She is magnificently endowed with grace which she is eager to share with Her children if only they request this of Her.

As a true mother, She embellishes Her children with Her graces in order to make them perfect to meet their Heavenly Father just as an earth mother dresses her child to meet its earth father.  It is impossible for an earthling to robe himself to meet his Eternal Father through his own actions in a manner which is accomplished for him through the efforts of his heavenly Mother. So it is, in the Plan of God after the Redemption, that one must first be dressed, or "embellished" with Mary's graces in order to make a proper entry before the Throne of God, And so, in order for one to go to the Godhead, he must first of "through" Mary, not adoring her as God, nor even as a creature of God, but in conforming to God's Will that Mary is the "Mediatrix" between God and man.

Mary is the portal, or door, through which God, in the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, received His Human Nature and made His entrance into our world. So, too, is Mary the door by which we mortals must enter and pass through in order to return to Her Son, Jesus, and thus to our Eternal Father in His Heavenly abode.
 
 

MORNING OFFERING AND CONSECRATION,
INCLUDING FATIMA AND GARABANDAL CONDITIONS

God, Our Father! Through the infinite merits of Your Son, Jesus, in all of His Redemptive Acts - His Agony in the Garden, the revilements He suffered in the Prison, His Scourging at the Pillar, His Crowning of Thorns , the Tearing of His Sacred Flesh and the Spilling of His Precious Blood, through His tortuous Way of the Cross, along which He met His dear Mother, through His Glorious Resurrection and Ascension, and through His Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of His dear Mother, to whom I consecrate myself today, and in union with all the masses celebrated throughout the world, I offer You all my thoughts, works and actions of this day - all my joys and sorrows, pains and pleasures, all that I have and all that I am. I am truly sorry for all my sins. If I cannot receive Jesus Sacramentally today, I desire to receive Him Spiritually. I offer this in expiation for my own sins and in reparation for the sins of all mankind, particularly those committed in my own home and by my own family.

With the assistance of my dear Mother, Mary, and my Guardian Angel, I offer You the greatest honor, adoration, glory, belief, hope, love and thanksgiving my poor soul is capable of rendering to You, and I beg Your Pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor Love You.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I consecrate myself to You today, and I offer You the most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the Earth, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He Himself is offended. And by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart, I beg of you the conversion of poor sinners.

I pray for all living members of our human race, for Holy Mother the Church, for the Holy Father and his intentions, for our Cardinals and Bishops, our Priests, our Religious and our Missions, for true Christian Unity, for our Nation, for our leaders, for our sons in warfare, for peace in the world, for all sinners, for my benefactors and for all who want or need my prayers, including even possible enemies, known and unknown. I also pray for all the sufferings souls in Purgatory, especially for those in my own family and of my friends.
 
 

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

God, Our Father! In union with the Holy Spirit and with Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God, and through the powerful intercession of Our lady of Mount Carmel of Garabandal, of St. Joseph, of St. Michael the Archangel, with his legions of Angels, of the Blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul, and all the saints, we beg for the protection of our priests against the malice and snares of the devil. Please guide our priests; let Your love surround them; bless their labors with abundant fruits; enlighten, strengthen and console them; make them holy and resolute. Amen.
 

WHITE LEGION PRAYER

Eternal Father! Looking upon the Wounds of Your Divine Son, the sorrowful Heart of Our Mother of Carmel of Garabandal, and the faith of Your Church, forgive us our sins; free us from the pains of hell; lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Your Mercy! Our Mother of Garabandal, according to Your desires, we wish without delay, and as well as we can to put into practice you Message and to propagate it with all our strength. Amen.
 
 

EXORCISM AGAINST satan AND THE REBELLIOUS ANGELS

Published by the orders of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, and is translated from the Latin. Priests should say this prayer every day to ward off the power of the devil which is greater in these Latter Times than it has ever been before. Also, the faithful should say this prayer every day, when there is no Priest available to do so, in their homes or whenever action of the devil is suspected.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL

Most Glorious Prince of the Celestial Host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Come to the rescue of men whom God has created to His image and likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. It is thou whom Holy Church venerates as Her guardian and Her protector; thou whom the Lord has charged to conduct redeemed souls into Heaven. Pray, therefore, the God of Peace to subdue satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive nor do injury to the Church. Present our prayers to the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us. Seize the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and satan; bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit that he may no longer seduce the nations.
 
 

EXORCISM

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God, strengthen by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, ((of the Blessed Joseph, Spouse of the same Virgin,)) of the Blessed Michael, the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, ((of the Blessed Louis Marie-de Montfort,)) and all the Saints, [and powerful in the holy authority of our ministry] we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil.
 

PSALM 67

"Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered: and let then that hate Him flee from before His face."

"As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish away: as was melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God."

V. Behold the Cross of the Lord, flee bands of enemies.
R. The Lion of the Tribe of Juda, the Offspring of David, has conquered.
V. May Thy mercy, Lord, descend upon us.
R. As great as our hope in Thee.

We exorcise you, unclean spirits, satanic powers, infernal invaders, wicked legions, assemblies and sects; in the Name and by the Virtue of Our Lord Jesus Christ +, may you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God and from the souls formed to the image of God and redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb +. Cease you audacity, cunning serpent, to delude the human race, to persecute the Church of God, to torment God's elect, and to sift them as wheat +. The Most High God commands you +, with Whom in Your haughty insolence you still pretend to be equal. The God Who will have all men 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 Ghost commands you +. ((The Holy Infant, Jesus, King, commands you +.)) Christ commands you, the Eternal Word of God made Flesh +; He Who to save our race, out-done through your malice, 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 dwells with Her all days even to the consummation of the ages. ((The Wisdom of the Most Sacred Head of Jesus commands you +.)) The hidden virtue of the Cross commands you +, as does the power of all the Mysteries of the Christian Faith +. The Glorious Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you +; She Who by Her humility and from the first moment of Her Immaculate Conception crushed your proud head ((The Mother of the Church commands you +. The Mother of Christ, the Priest commands you +. The Mother of all Priests commands you +. The Mother of the First of all Priests commands you +. Blessed Mary, Little Infant, Queen of Heaven and Earth, commands you +. Blessed Mary, Queen of all creation, commands you +. Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Virgin Mary, commands you +. Saint Joseph, Patron of the Church, commands you +.  Saint Joseph, the Most Chaste Pastor of the Latter Times, commands you +. Saint Joseph, Terror of demons, commands you +. Saint Joseph assumed into Heaven commands you +. St. Michael, the Archangel, commands you +. Saint Gabriel, the Archangel, commands you +. Saint Raphael, the Archangel, commands you +.  The Holy Angel of the Exodus and all the Holy Guardian Angels commands you +.  All the Holy Choirs of Angels command you +.)) The Faith of the Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul and of the other Apostles commands you +. The Blood of the Martyrs and the pious Intercession of all the Saints command you +. ((The True Devotion of the Faithful towards the most Blessed Virgin Mary commands you +.))

Thus, cursed dragon, and you wicked legions, we adjure you by the Living God +, by the True God +, by the Holy God +, by the God Who so loved the world that He delivered His only begotten Son that all who believe in Him might not perish, by have life everlasting. Cease deceiving human creatures and pouring out to them the poison of eternal perdition; cease harming the Church and hindering Her liberty. Retreat, satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation. Cede the place to Christ in Whom you have found none of Your works. Cede the place to the One, Holy Catholic, and Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. Stoop beneath the all-powerful Hand of God, tremble and flee at the invocation of the Holy and terrible Name of Jesus, 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 Lord God of Hosts!

V. O Lord hear my prayer.
R.  And let my cry come unto Thee.
  [V.  The Lord be with you.]
  [R.  And with thy spirit.]
 

LET US PRAY

God of Heaven, God of Earth, God of Angels, God of Archangels, 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 Thee and there can be no other, for Thou are the Creator of all things, visible and invisible, of Whose reign there shall be no end, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Glorious Majesty and we supplicate Thee to deliver us from all the Tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, and their furious wickedness. Deign, O Lord, to protect us by Thy Power and to preserve us safe and sound. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

From the snares of the devil, deliver us, O Lord.
That Thy Church may serve Thee in peace and liberty;
We beseech Thee to hear us.
That Thou may crush down all enemies of Thy Church;
We beseech Thee to hear us.

(Here the place is sprinkled with Holy Water.)
