Prayer for Deliverance
"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the power of His blood and the Holy Spirit, I lift to the Lord myself, my family, home, neighborhood, church, workplace, city, state, nation, and the world, and each person and area for whom I am praying. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over all of us for our protection. By the authority of the Word of God, it is written: whatsoever is bound on earth is bound in heaven; what is loosed on earth, is loosed in heaven. (Matt. 16: 19).
"I bind satan, the spirits, powers and forces of darkness ... l bind any demonic assignments sent against any of the people and areas I am lifting up to the Lord. I bind all interaction, interplay or communication of spirits as it may affect any of the people and areas for which I am praying. I command in the name of Jesus Christ that all these satanic and demonic forces go to the feet of Jesus. I call forth and loose the Holy Spirit of God and the holy angels to come and cleanse every place where satan has had a foothold in the lives and situations of any of these people and areas, and to fill each cleansed area with the life and love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ.
"In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke and break any curses, hexes, spells, demonic activity, or any other evil thing that has been sent against me or passed down through the generations to me or to any of the people or areas for whom I am praying.
"I renounce and ask forgiveness for any negative inner vows made by me or by any of the people for whom I am praying. I ask that Jesus Christ release us from these negative inner vows and from any bondage they have caused us. I take the Sword of the Spirit and cut free myself and those for whom I am praying from all generational sins, weaknesses, character defects, and cellular and genetic disorders, in the name of Jesus Christ.
"I cut all bonds of all relationships that are not of the Lord, and put His Cross between us. We are cut free and we are free indeed (John 8:36). We are now free to become the children of God the Lord intended us to be, filled to overflowing with the power of the Holy Spirit of God, and the life and love of Jesus Christ.
"I claim the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, over all that I have lifted to You, Lord, for our protection, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, embolden me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Never permit me to be parted from you.
From the evil Enemy defend me.
At the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to you,
that with your Saints I may praise you
for age upon age.
Amen.
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
Hymn - Be Thou My Vision
Song by 4Him
Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord

Still be my vision, oh ruler of all
Still be my vision, oh ruler of all
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
The 3 Simple Steps to Salvation
It’s As Easy As A B C
A: Is for ADMIT or ACKNOWLEDGE
we are sinful and need Him (Jesus) as our saviour.
Romans 3 : 10- as it is written: "There is none righteous, no not one.”
Romans 3 : 23 - “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”
B: Is for BELIEVE Jesus is Lord.
That He died for our sins, was buried then rose to life
on the third day, and ascended to God the Father.
John 14 : 6 - 7- Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one
comes to the Father but by Me.”
Romans 5 : 8 “But God commends His love toward us in that while we were yet
sinners Christ died for us.”
C: Is to CONFESS this belief, and to CALL upon His name.
Romans 10 : 9 – 10 - “That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and
believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For
with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses
unto salvation.”
Romans 10 : 13 - For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."
May the Lord God bless you.

2. Optional Opening Prayers St. Faustina’s Prayer for Sinners
O Jesus, eternal Truth, our Life, I call upon You and I beg Your mercy
for poor sinners. O sweetest Heart of my Lord, full of pity and
unfathomable mercy, I plead with You for poor sinners. O Most Sacred
Heart, Fount of Mercy from which gush forth rays of inconceivable
graces upon the entire human race, I beg of You light for poor
sinners. O Jesus, be mindful of Your own bitter Passion and do not
permit the loss of souls redeemed at so dear a price of Your most
precious Blood. O Jesus, when I consider the great price of Your
Blood, I rejoice at its immensity, for one drop alone would have been
enough for the salvation of all sinners. Although sin is an abyss of
wickedness and ingratitude, the price paid for us can never be
equalled. Therefore, let every soul trust in the Passion of the Lord,
and place its hope in His mercy. God will not deny His mercy to
anyone. Heaven and earth may change, but God's mercy will never be
exhausted. Oh, what immense joy burns in my heart when I contemplate
Your incomprehensible goodness, O Jesus! I desire to bring all sinners
to Your feet that they may glorify Your mercy throughout endless ages
(Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, 72).
You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and
the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life,
unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself
out upon us.
(Repeat three times)
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a
fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!
3. 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.
4. Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art 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.
5. The 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 from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is
seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He
will come 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.

Eternal Father, I offer you
the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our
Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole
world.

on us and on the whole world.
10. Optional Closing Prayers
Eternal
God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion
inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that
in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but
with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is
Love and Mercy itself.
O Greatly Merciful God, Infinite Goodness,
today all mankind calls out from the abyss of its misery to Your mercy
— to Your compassion, O God; and it is with its mighty voice of misery
that it cries out. Gracious God, do not reject the prayer of this
earth's exiles! O Lord, Goodness beyond our understanding, Who are
acquainted with our misery through and through, and know that by our
own power we cannot ascend to You, we implore You: anticipate us with
Your grace and keep on increasing Your mercy in us, that we may
faithfully do Your holy will all through our life and at death's hour.
Let the omnipotence of Your mercy shield us from the darts of our
salvation’s enemies, that we may with confidence, as Your children,
await Your [Son’s] final coming — that day known to You alone. And we
expect to obtain everything promised us by Jesus in spite of all our
wretchedness. For Jesus is our Hope: through His merciful Heart, as
through an open gate, we pass through to heaven (Diary, 1570).

Most Compassionate Jesus, You are the Light of the whole world.
Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of
those who has yet do not believe in You or do not know You. Let the rays
of Your grace enlighten them that they, too, together with us, may extol Your
wonderful mercy; and do not let them escape from the abode which is Your Most Compassionate Heart.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gave upon the souls of those who do not believe in Your Son,
and of those who as yet do not know You, but who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls of our separated brethren,
who have squandered Your blessings and misused Your graces obstinately persisting in their errors.

Bring it about that they also may glorify Your great mercy for endless ages. Amen.

will embrace them as they depart from this life.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute,
that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus.

overflowing with joy, sings a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God: Show
them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished

Eighth Day

Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most
Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet who must make retribution
to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of
purifying fire, that in that place, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.
Eternal Father, turn Your most merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded
in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son,
and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded, manifest Your mercy to the souls
who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way than through the Wounds of Jesus,
Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.
Ninth Day
Today Bring Me The Souls Who Have Become Lukewarm
Most Compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your
Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love let these tepid souls, who, like corpses,
filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus,
exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love;
and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most
Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His
three- hour agony on the Cross: let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen
