SAINT CHARBEL HOUSE OF PRAYER
First Saturday
Our Blessed Mother has requested prayers to start every First Saturday
at 7:45PM with the incensing and sprinkling of Holy Water and Exorcism.
EXORCISM
PRAYER AGAINST
SATAN AND THE APOSTATE ANGELS
Published by order of H. H. Leo XIII
The Holy Father exhorts priests to say this prayer
as often as possible, as a simple exorcism to curb the power of the
devil and prevent him from doing harm. The faithful also may say it in
their own name for the same purpose, as any approved prayer. Its use is
recommended whenever action of the devil is suspected, causing malice in
men, violent temptations and even storms and various calamities. It
could be used as a solemn exorcism (an official and public ceremony, in
Latin), to expel the devil. It would then be said by a priest, in name
of the Church and only with the Bishop's permission.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered; and let them that
hate Him flee from before His Face. As smoke vansheth, so let them
vanish away; as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked
perish at the presence of God. (psalm 67:1-2).
Judge Thou, O Lord, them that wrong me; overthrow them that fight
against me. Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul.
Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise evil against me.
Let them become as dust before the wind; and let the Angel of the Lord
straiten them. Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the Angel
of the Lord pursue them.
For without cause they have hidden their net from me unto
destruction; without cause they have upbraided my soul.
Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him; and let the net,
which he hath hidden, catch him; and into that very snare let him fall.
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall be delighted in His
salvation (psalm 34:1, 4-9).
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.
Oh most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies, St. Michael the
Archangel, defend us in the battle and in our wrestling against
principalities and powers; against the rulers of this world of darkness;
against the spirits of wickedness in the high places (Ephesians 6:12).
Come to the aid of men, whom God created incorruptible, and to the image
of His own likeness He made Him, and from the tyranny of the devil He
bought Him at a great price (Wisdom 2:23). Fight the battles of the Lord
today with the army of the Blessed Angels as once Thou didst fight
against Lucifer, the leader of pride and his apostate angels; and they
prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in Heaven. But that
great dragon was cast out, the old serpent, who is called the devil and
Satan, who seduceth the whole world. And he was cast unto the earth, and
his angels were thrown down with him (Apocalypse 12:6-9).
Behold, the ancient enemy and murderer strongly raises his head!
Transformed into an angel of light, with the entire horde of
wicked spirits he goes about everywhere and takes possession of the
earth, so that, therein he may blot out the Name of God and of His
Christ, and steal away, afflict and ruin unto everlasting destruction
the souls destined for a crown of eternal glory. On men depraved in mind
and corrupt in heart the wicked dragon pours out like a most foul river,
the poison of his villainy, a spirit of lying, impiety and blasphemy;
and the deadly breath of lust and of all iniquities and vices. Her most
crafty enemies have engulfed the Church, the Spouse of the Immaculate
Lamb, with sorrows, they have drenched her with wormwood; on all her
desirable things they have laid their wicked hands. Where the See
of Blessed Peter and Chair of Truth have been setup for the light of the
Gentiles, there they have placed the throne of the abomination of their
wickedness, so that the Pastor having been struck, they may also be able
to scatter the flock. Therefore, O Thou unconquerable Leader, be present
with the people of God against the spiritual wickednesses which are
bursting in upon them: and bring them the victory. The Holy Church
venerates Thee as its guardian and patron; and it glories in the fact
that Thou art it's defender against the wicked powers of earth and hell.
To Thee the Lord has assigned the souls of the redeemed to be placed in
Heavenly Bliss. Beseech the God of peace to crush Satan under our feet,
that he may no more be able to hold men captive and do harm to the
Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that the
mercies of the Lord may quickly come to our aid, that Thou mayest seize
the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and that,
having bound him. Thou mayest cast him into the bottomless pit, so that
he may no more seduce the nations (Apoc. 20:3). Hence, confiding in Thy
protection and guardianship, (by-the Sacred Authority of our Ministry)
,we confidently and securely begin the task in the Name of Jesus
Christ Our God and Lord, of driving away the attacks of diabolical
deceit.
V. Behold the Cross of the Lord, flee away ye hostile forces.
R.
The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath conquered.
V. May Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us.
R. Since we have hoped in
Thee.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. The Lord be with Thee.
R. And with Thy spirit.
LET US PRAY
O God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we invoke Thy Holy Name,
and we humbly implore Thy Mercy, that by the intercession of the
Mother of God, Mary Immaculate ever Virgin, of Blessed Michael the
Archangel, of Blessed Joseph the Spouse of the same Blessed Virgin; of
the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and of all the Saints, Thou wouldst
deign to afford us help against Satan and all the other unclean spirits,
and against whatever wanders throughout the world to do harm to the
human race and to ruin souls. Through the same Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
STAND
We exorcise thee, O every unclean spirit, satanic power, infernal
invader, wicked legion, assembly and sect; in the Name, and by the power
of Our Lord Jesus Christ, + may thou be snatched away and driven from
the Church of God and from the souls made to the Image and likeness of
God and redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb. + Most
cunning serpent, thou shall no more dare to deceive the human race,
persecute the Church, torment God's elect and sift them as wheat. + The
Most High God commands thee. + He with whom, in your great insolence,
you still claim to be equal; "He who wants all men to be saved and to
come to the knowledge of the truth." (Timothy 2:4).
God the Father
commands thee, + God the Son commands thee, + God the Holy Ghost
commands thee, + the Majesty of Christ, the Eternal Word of God made
Flesh, commands thee, + He who to save our race, outdone through thy
envy; "humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death" (Phlippians
2:8). He who has built His Church on the firm rock and declared that the
gates of Hell shall never prevail against Her, because He will dwell
with Her all days even to the end of the world. (Matthew 28:21). The
Sacred Sign of the Cross commands thee; + as does also the power of the
Mysteries of the Christian Faith; + the Glorious Mother of God,
the Virgin Mary, commands thee; + She who by Her humility and from the
first moment of Her Immaculate Conception, crushed thy proud head. The
Faith of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and of the other Apostles
commands thee; + the blood of the Martyrs and the pious intercession of
all the Saints commands thee. + Thus, cursed dragon, and thee diabolical
legion, we adjure thee by the living God; + by the True God + by the
Holy God; + by the God "Who so loved the world that He gave up His only
Son, that every soul believing in Him might not perish but have life
everlasting." (John 3). Stop deceiving human creatures and pouring
out to them the poison of eternal damnation; stop harming the Church and
ensnaring her liberty. Be gone, Satan, inventor and master of all
deceit, enemy of man's salvation. Give place to Christ, in Whom thou has
found none of thy works, give 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 when we invoke
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, is the Lord, the God of
Armies.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. May the Lord be with thee.
R. And with thy spirit.

ourselves before Thy Glorious Majesty and we beseech Thee to deliver us

snares, their lies and their furious wickedness; deign O Lord, to grant

O
St Saint Charbel, you were inflamed and wounded by the desire of the
Divine Beauty; you became an athlete of the spirit and a hero of prayer
and penance; you proclaimed in a unique way the importance of the
supernatural and before the Throne of the Divine Presence the necessity
of self denial, which does not spare any human value.
Thanks to the Mystical Body of Christ, which is the Church, you were
in perpetual contact with your Lord and with mankind in a bond of
charity. We cannot follow you in your solitude and ways of sacrifice,
but send to our hearts the desire to amend ourselves and to understand
the importance of the spiritual life and what is necessary for our
salvation. Amen. |
