Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, having struck down the
ancient serpent and bound him in Tartarus by bonds of darkness, protect me from
his snares. Through the prayers of our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-virgin
Mary, of the holy Archangel Michael and all the Heavenly hosts, of the holy
Prophet and Baptist John, of the holy Evangelist John the Theologian, of the
holy Martyr Cyprian and the Martyr Justinia, of St. Nicholas the wonderworker,
of St. Nikita of Novgorod, of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco, the
wonderworker … and of all the saints, by the power of the life-giving Cross and
by the intercession of my Guardian Angel, deliver me from evil spirits, from
cunning people, from sorcery, curses, the evil eye, and from any slanders of
the enemy. By Thine almighty power preserve me from evil, so that I,
enlightened by Thy light, may safely reach the quiet anchorage of the Heavenly
Kingdom and there eternally thank Thee, my Savior, together with Thine
unoriginate Father and Thy Most Holy and Life-giving Spirit. Amen.
Further below, the reader will find two more
exorcising prayers that a priest reads on particular occasions.
