Intro] These prayers are specifically picked for this satanic protest in order to counter their hexes, spells and curses. Our prayers are like arrows raining down on them, our prayers will be so numerous that it would appear to block out the sun (to quote King Xerses messenger to Spartan King Leonidas). Our prayers will not darken the sun, our prayer will light up the sky, our prayers will have the effect of cutting a phone line, pulling the cord off of a wall socket, our prayers will prevent their communication with and conjuring of demons. Our prayers will sabotage their communication devices, scramble their message, cause them to argue amongst themselves, our prayers will affect their transmissions, their microphones and their laptops. Our arrow prayers will bring down the grace of conversion to all those satanist so that some of them may have a St Dismas moment and potentially these satanist become the next Blessed Bartolo Longo (he was a former satanic priest & became a 3 rd order Dominican who dedicated his life promoting the rosary in the service of Our Lady). In the Old Testament, Jerusalem was protected by Watchmen, they were men who stood vigilant and watched for oncoming enemies from on top of the city walls. They had rams’ horns they would blow to notify the Israelite families that enemies were coming to attack them. They would close the gates and man their stations with weapons from on top of those high walls. Every Catholic man is called to be the watchman of his house. Once a watchman identifies the enemy than shields up (faith), take out your bow and arrow and start firing. This is what prayers are in the spiritual realm – arrows we fire at the enemies of God. *Psalm 64:8 (NAB) “God shoots an arrow at them; in a moment they are struck down.” Arrows are a reference to the Word of God, prayer is calling in air strikes against the enemy. In the Old Testament the Israelites would have archers on top of the high walls surrounding the city. When they would see an enemy approaching the city to attack them the archers would launch volleys of arrows at their enemy. The arrows would fall upon the enemies like rain.

*Psalm 18:14-15 (NAB) “The Lord thundered from heaven; the most High made his voice resound. He let fly his arrows and scattered them; shot his lightning bolts and dispersed them.” Gods Word projected into the cosmos through prayer is like raining arrows upon Gods enemies. If Catholic Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we would be speechless. *2 Corinthians 10:4 (RSV) “For though we live in the world, we are not carrying on a worldly war, for the weapons of our warfare are not worldly, but have divine power to destroy strongholds” Our weapons are faith, prayer & the sacraments. Remember, we serve the Blessed Virgin Mary - a 12 STAR GENERAL. Let’s unite our prayers to the heel of Our Blessed Mother. Let’s unite our prayers to the Sword of St. Michael and continue delivering powerful blows to the kingdom of darkness & tear down the gates of hell. In the movie “For Greater Glory,” before one of the final battles General Gorostietta (actor Andy Garcia) rallies his men by saying: “...You must remember, Men will fire bullets, but God will decide where they land.” In like manner I tell my fellow Catholic brothers and sisters, we will fire ‘arrow prayers’, God will decide on whom and where they land. Our job is to show up and suit up and pray (fire away). Theology of every Prayer against demons that I use in order from 12noon to 3pm *Angelus – This prayer proclaims the incarnation – God becomes man, this is the doctrine that was rejected by satan. Because he refused to assent to this doctrine he was banished from heaven. Praying these words cause demons pain because it reminds them of why “they were FIRED” like the tv series ‘The Apprentice’ (2004-2017). FTC Companion Guide p.102 “The angelus is an ancient Catholic devotion dating back to the 13 th century or earlier. It is a particular efficacious tool in spiritual warfare because it commemorates the Incarnation, which is the occasion of the demon’s fall. Traditionally, it is prayed 3 times a day: at 6am, noon and 6pm, accompanied by the ringing of Church bells.” The practice of this prayer everyday helps (especially) men develop order, fraternity & ritual as part of their spiritual life. Demons fear order, fraternity & ritual because demons promote disorder, division & sloth. *St Michael the archangel is a minor exorcism prayer. Saint Michael the Archangel, chief of the heavenly host, has four offices, or principal duties. These are: (1) combatting Satan; remember he banished satan from heaven. (2) rescuing souls from the power of the enemy, especially on death; (3) protecting the Church Militant; and (4) escorting souls to their particular judgment. 1. The Russian Orthodox calls St Michael – the Chief Commander.

2. The Eastern Orthodox calls St Michael – the Supreme Commander. 3. The Latin Rite Catholics call St Michael – Leader of the Army of God. 4. The Greek Orthodox call St Michael – the Highest General. Pope Leo XIII received a terrifying vision that demons had descended upon Rome, this led him to compose a short powerful prayer to Saint Michael, Pope Leo XIII composed a second prayer, much longer than the first, to be used as a general prayer of exorcism. It was first published in 1890 and was originally designed as a prayer to cast out the presence of Satan and his fallen angels from a larger locality (a city, for example) Exorcism Prayer of Saint Michael the Archangel (catholicsay.com). *Soul of Christ (Anima Christi) - The Anima Christi is a beautiful and poetic Communion prayer dating to the 14th century. It is commonly prayed before or after receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Anima Christi Prayer | The Catholic Company®. This is another ‘Deliverance Prayer’ that should be prayed everyday, your calling upon the blood of Jesus and the phrase “from the evil one protect me” is the plea to drive out & protect you from the demon. The author of Anima Christi is not known, but many have speculated that it was Pope John XXII. The prayer was popularly assumed to be written by St. Ignatius of Loyola since it appeared in his famous book Spiritual Exercises. However, the earliest printed versions of the prayer can be found in books published more than 100 years before his birth - Prayers We All Should Know: The Anima Christi (catholic365.com). We can overcome Satan in our lives and the lives of our loved ones by claiming the atoning work of Christ and His blood shed for us. Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” By meditating on Christ’s Blood, by pleading it, by washing ourselves in it, we banish evil. The devil can not take this. It’s what defeated him — drop by drop — at Calvary. Plead that the Blood of Christ washes all evil from you and you’ll find that bondages are broken and light shines and a curtain of darkness and spiritual blindness is lifted. This is why blood is seen in Eucharistic miracles. It is to remind us of what’s behind the Eucharist; it’s to assure us; it’s to let us glimpse a power that transcends the entire universe. –Michael H Brown. https://spiritdailyblog.com/spiritual- warfare/archives-pleading-his-blood *Come Holy Spirit - In the 800s, a Frankish Catholic Monk, Rabanus Maurus, wrote a song called, Veni Creator Spiritus, or “Come, Creator Spirit.” The prayer begins, “Come, Holy Spirit, Creator, come....” *In the early 200s, early theologian Hippolytus wrote an Invocation of the Holy Spirit, that says “...And we pray that you would send your Holy Spirit....” *In the 1200s, the prayer “Come, Holy Spirit,” or Veni Sancte Spiritus took on fresh life and became a common prayer in the Western church. This historic prayer begins with the powerful words, “Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.” This prayer is based in part on Psalm 104:30 "When thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground." Jesus told the apostles before Pentecost: “You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until your are clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:48--49).

Acts 1: 8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses...to the end of the earth. Notice, the Holy Spirit makes us ‘Jesus’ Witnesses’ not ‘Jehovahs Witnesses’ [Isaiah 43:10]. For 2000 years Jesus has been pouring down on the Church the overwhelming power of His Holy Spirit. He is the source of our power. *Commission of the Care of Soul and Body (book: Deliverance Prayers for the Laity) May be prayed at any time, but especially before sleeping. For oneself: Into thy hands, Mary, I commend my body and my soul. I ask thee to provide for them and to protect them. I ask thee to protect them from the evil one. I ask thee enlighten my mind, strengthen my will, and refrain my appetites by grace. Our Lady and St. Michael, call down from Heaven the legions of angels under your command to protect me; I ask of thee all the things I ask of my Guardian Angel. My guardian angel, under thy intellectual and volitional protection I place my body. I ask thee to illumine my mind and refrain my appetites. I ask thee to strengthen my cogitative power, my memory and my imagination. Help me to remember the things I should and not remember the things I should not. Help me to associate the things I should and not to associate the things I should not. Give me good clear images in my imagination. I ask thee to drive away all the demons that might affect me while I sleep (or throughout the course of the day). (Help me to sleep and, if thou should deem it prudent, direct my dreams. Help me to arise refreshed). Amen. Whatever we consecrate to Our Lady, the devil can’t touch. This was taught by St Louis de Montfort. In De Montfort’s Marian treatise under the section (51.) entitled “Exercise of This Function, (Mary) in the Struggle against Satan” he writes, “I will put enmities between thee and the woman and thy seed, she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel” (Gen. 3:15). 1. This most terrible of all the enemies which God has set up against the devil is His holy Mother Mary. 2. He has inspired her—with so much hatred against that cursed enemy of God, with so much ingenuity in unveiling the malice of that ancient serpent, with so much power to conquer, to overthrow and to crush that proud, impious rebel— that he fears her...more than all angels and men. 3. Satan, being proud, suffers infinitely more from being beaten and punished by a little and humble handmaid of God, and Her humility has humbled him the more than the divine power; and secondly, 4. Because God has given Mary such great power against the devils that—as they have often been obliged to confess, by the mouths of the possessed—that they fear one of her sighs for a soul more than the prayer of all the saints, and one of her threats against them more than all other torments. 5. Mary, in being perfectly faithful to God, has saved all her children and servants together with herself, and has consecrated them to His Majesty. 6. But the humble Mary will always have the victory over that proud spirit, and so great a victory that she will go so far as to crush his head, where his pride dwells. She will always discover the malice of the serpent. She will always lay bare his infernal plots and dissipate his diabolical councils, and even to the end of time guard her faithful servants from his cruel claw - https://catholicexchange.com/de-montfort-mary-in-the- struggle-against-satan/

*Prayer Against Every Evil - Spirit of Our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Most Holy Trinity, Immaculate Virgin Mary, Angels, Archangels, and Saints of heaven, descend upon me. Please purify me, Lord, mold me, fill me with Thyself, and use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me, destroy them, vanquish them, so that I can be healthy and do Thy Holy Will. Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, malefice, ties, maledictions, and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful; jealousy, perfidy, envy; physical, psychological, moral, spiritual, diabolical ailments. Cast into hell all demons working these evils, that they may never again touch me or any other creature in the entire world. I command and bid all the powers who molest me by the power of God Almighty, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary to leave me forever, and to be consigned into the everlasting hell, where they will be bound by Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Gabriel, Saint Raphael and our Guardian Angels, and where they will be crushed under the heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. This is another deprecatory prayer of protection for yourself. *Prayer to protect faculties – (Deliverance prayers for the laity p.37): Lord Jesus Christ let your Precious Blood flowing from Thy wounded Heart cover me, my cogitative power, memory, imagination, common sense power, sensitive appetites, my sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell, (and any part of your body they are affecting) driving the demons to the foot of thy Cross where they may be judged by Thee. In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. This is another deprecatory prayer of protection for yourself against attacks on your mind and imagination. *Our Lady appeared to St Dominic, accompanied by three Angels, and said: “Dear Dominic, do you know which weapon the Blessed Trinity wants to use to reform the world.” “Oh, my Lady,” answered Saint Dominic, “you know far better than I do because next to your Son Jesus Christ you have always been the chief instrument of our salvation.” Then Our Lady replied: “I want you to know that, in this kind of warfare, the battering ram has always been the Angelic Psalter which is the foundation stone of the New Testament. Therefore if you want to reach these hardened souls and win them over to God, preach my Psalter” https://livetherosary.wordpress.com/tag/our-lady/. The rosary is called ‘the Angelic Psalter.’ *The Apostles Creed – “for this reason, it is also good to recite the Creed aloud in the presence of the one suffering, and to repeat it many times so that through it the sick person is roused to constancy of faith, and the demons, who detest hearing it, are driven away” (From the book Ars Moriendi or The Art of Dying, is a medieval work by an anonymous German Dominican on how to prepare well for death) – Magnificat; Jan 2024; vol.25; no.11; ‘The Meditation of the Day’ The Power of Faith, p.442. Sorrowful mysteries of the rosary; “Give me an army saying the rosary & I will conquer the world” (Pope Pius IX). *St Francis de Sales: “Hail Mary’, the heavens smile, the angels are filled with new joy, earth exults, hell trembles, and the devils are put to flight.” *St Louis de Montfort: “Hell trembles at the sound of every fervently said ‘Hail Mary.’” The Holy Rosary is like a spiritual 50 caliber machine in your hands. The beads are like silver bullets

for the spiritual battle. The rosary in your hands is like a slingshot in Davids hands against Goliath (cf.1 Samuel 17). The Rosary will be a powerful armor against hell. It will destroy vice, decrease sin and defeat heresies. Promise of the Rosary #3. Fr. Gabriel Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Rome writes: One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism, "Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end." The Secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ. Fr Amorth says: "Anyone who goes to Mary and prays the Rosary cannot be touched by Satan." i Litany of Loretto; reminds me of going on the offense in boxing, we call this ‘throwing punches in bunches.’ Pope Pius XII extolled her under these titles. He said: “Mary is beautiful in herself as the moon, radiates her brilliance as the sun; but against "the enemy" she is formidable; terrible as an army arrayed for war. As we rejoice and exalt her today, God knows how we would like to forget the difficulties of the times in which we live....There is the "enemy" even at the very doors of the Church, threatening souls. And behold, another aspect of Mary: her power in combat...Mary, sinless, has crushed the head of the corrupting serpent. When Mary approaches, the demon flees - just as darkness dissipates when the sun rises. Where Mary is present, Satan is absent; where the sun shines, there is no darkness. Psalm 35 (RSV) - [1] Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me! [2] Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help! [3] Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers! Say to my soul, "I am your deliverance!" [4] Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek after my life! Let them be turned back and confounded who devise evil against me! [5] Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them on! [6] Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them! [7] For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life. [8] Let ruin come upon them unawares! And let the net which they hid ensnare them; let them fall therein to ruin! [9] Then my soul shall rejoice in the LORD, exulting in his deliverance. [10] All my bones shall say, "O LORD, who is like thee, thou who deliverest the weak from him who is too strong for him, the weak and needy from him who despoils him?" [11] Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not. [12] They requite me evil for good; my soul is forlorn. [13] But I, when they were sick -- I wore sackcloth, I afflicted myself with fasting. I prayed with head bowed on my bosom, [14] as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; I went about as one who laments his mother, bowed down and in mourning. [15] But at my stumbling they gathered in glee, they gathered together against me; cripples whom I knew not slandered me without ceasing; [16] they impiously mocked more and more, gnashing at me with their teeth. [17] How long, O LORD, wilt thou look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my life from the lions! [18] Then I will thank thee in the great congregation; in the mighty throng I will praise thee. [19] Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause. [20] For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they conceive words of deceit. 21] They open wide their mouths against me; they say, "Aha, Aha! our eyes have seen it!" [22] Thou hast seen, O LORD; be not silent! O Lord, be not far from me! [23] Bestir thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and my Lord! [24] Vindicate me, O LORD, my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me! [25] Let them not say to themselves, "Aha, we have our heart's desire!" Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up." [26] Let them be put to shame and confusion

altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me! [27] Let those who desire my vindication shout for joy and be glad, and say evermore, "Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant!" [28] Then my tongue shall tell of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. >This is the prayer of David, speaking in the person of Christ. Praying against his persecutors, prophetically foreshadowing the punishments that shall fall upon them. It’s a prayer for help against unjust enemies. *St Padre Pio said: “Some people are so foolish that they think they can go through life without the help of the Blessed Mother. Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the blessed Mother.” Joyful mysteries of the rosary (ibid); Litany of St Joseph; litanies are used very effectively to drive out demons, the concept is parallel to boxing and going on the offensive, its ‘throwing punches in bunches.’ “After the Virgin Mary, demons fear St Joseph more than any other saint. The devil fears St Joseph more than he fears the pope. How is this possible? Remember the Pope is the vicar of Christ but St Joseph is the father of Christ. The Vicar of Christ has authority over the mystical body of Christ (the Church) but St Joseph has the extraordinary gift and power of paternal intercession in heaven...He alone bears the title ‘terror of demons’” (Consecration to St Joseph; p.219). Blessed Bartolo Longo (former satanic priest) says “it is a great blessing for souls to be under the protection of the saint whose name makes demons tremble and flee...Your name Joseph is the joy of heaven...the comfort of mortals...helps us in temptation, frees us from the snares of the devil...and shares in the power of the holy names of Jesus and Mary.” St Anthony Mary Claret wrote: “O Glorious St Joseph, pray for me, assist me, and defend me from satan.” Fr Calloway writes: “Of the wonders, two in particular need to be emphasized in our day...the fatherhood of St Joseph and the purity of St Joseph. These wonders of St Joseph need to be highlighted because all men (laymen and clergy) need to realize the power that fatherhood and purity have over the forces of darkness. All fatherhood is a threat to satan.” (Consecration to St Joseph; p.221). St Padre Pio wrote: “St Joseph, with the love and generosity with which he guarded Jesus, so too will he guard your soul, and as he defended him from Herod, so will he defend you soul from...the devil.” St Francis de Sales: “Valiant and strong is the man who, like St Joseph, perseveres in humility; he will be conqueror at once of the devil and of the world...” Venerable Mary of Agreda (Mystical City of God) was a mystic, she wrote about St Joseph...the intercession of St Joseph is most powerful (7 points): 4. For securing the grace of a happy death and protection against the demons in that hour.” 5. For filling the demons with terror at the mere mention of his name by his clients.” Remember, “St Joseph is more powerful in heaven than he was on earth” (Fr Calloway; p.224).

Psalm 37 (RSV) - [1] Fret not yourself because of the wicked, be not envious of wrongdoers! [2] For they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb. [3] Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will dwell in the land, and enjoy security. [4] Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. [5] Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. [6] He will bring forth your vindication as the light, and your right as the noonday. [7] Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over him who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! [8] Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. [9] For the wicked shall be cut off; but those who wait for the LORD shall possess the land. [10] Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look well at his place, he will not be there. [11] But the meek shall possess the land, and delight themselves in abundant prosperity. [12] The wicked plots against the righteous, and gnashes his teeth at him; [13] but the LORD laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming. [14] The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows, to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those who walk uprightly; [15] their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. [16] Better is a little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. [17] For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholds the righteous. [18] The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will abide for ever; [19] they are not put to shame in evil times, in the days of famine they have abundance. [20] But the wicked perish; the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures, they vanish -- like smoke they vanish away. [21] The wicked borrows, and cannot pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives; [22] for those blessed by the LORD shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off. [23] The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights; [24] though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand. [25] I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread. [26] He is ever giving liberally and lending, and his children become a blessing. [27] Depart from evil, and do good; so shall you abide for ever. [28] For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. The righteous shall be preserved for ever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. [29] The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell upon it for ever. [30] The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. [31] The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip. [32] The wicked watches the righteous, and seeks to slay him. [33] The LORD will not abandon him to his power, or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial. [34] Wait for the LORD, and keep to his way, and he will exalt you to possess the land; you will look on the destruction of the wicked. [35] I have seen a wicked man overbearing, and towering like a cedar of Lebanon. [36] Again I passed by, and, lo, he was no more; though I sought him, he could not be found. [37] Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright, for there is posterity for the man of peace. [38] But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed; the posterity of the wicked shall be cut off. [39] The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble. [40] The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him.

>Davids speaking prophetically in the person of Christ gives an exhortation to despise this world and the short prosperity of the wicked, we should trust God and in his divine providence. David talks about the fate of the sinner and the reward of the just. The wicked will only prosper temporarily, God will reverse things, the just will eventually be rewarded. *In December of 2014, Nigerian Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme, head of the diocese of Maiduguri, was in chapel praying before the Blessed Sacrament when he received a vision of Our Lord, Who made clear the Islamic militants plaguing Nigeria would be crushed through the Rosary. Bishop Doeme recounted that Jesus appeared before him holding a sword and offered it to him in silence. Humbled and surprised, he accepted the sword. As it touched his hands, the sword turned into a Rosary, at which time Our Lord and the Rosary disappeared. Bishop Doeme heard Our Lord say three times, "Boko Haram is gone." The bishop recalls, "I didn't need any prophet to give me the explanation. It was clear that with the Rosary, we would be able to expel Boko Haram" https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/700-nigerian-boko-haram-militants- surrender Luminous mysteries of the rosary (ibid); Litany of the most Precious Blood; pays tribute to the blood our Lord both shed for us in His Passion and offers us in the Eucharist for our salvation. It is important to remember that the sacred host we consume at Mass is indeed the body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ! The Litany of the Most Precious Blood was approved for public use in 1960 by St Pope John XXIII, although devotion to the Precious Blood goes back centuries. Indeed, as Father Faber wrote in 1860 “the lives of the saints are replete with devotion to the precious blood.” The month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood in the Church’s Liturgical Calendar. The Litany of the Most Precious Blood gives us a poignant reminder of not only the Passion but also of the good our Lord’s Blood can do for us as the “Eucharistic drink and refreshment of souls” at Mass as well. St. Peter reminds us of its importance when he writes. “You were redeemed not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:18- 19)...May the Litany of the Most Precious Blood inspire you in your efforts to receive Him worthily in Communion and to have Him fortify you in your efforts to serve Him and others on your journey towards Eternal Life! I urge us now to retrieve the tradition of invoking the Precious Blood of Jesus to combat whatever evil may be around us or within us...The shed Blood of Jesus has matchless power for binding his disciples to God, to atone for sin and to defeat the diabolical. We would be foolish not to invoke that great power now! https://aleteia.org/2018/10/17/anything-but-helpless-during-this-dark-time-let-us-call-on-this- power/. By meditating on Christ’s Blood, by pleading it, by washing ourselves in it, we banish evil. The devil can not take this. It’s what defeated him — drop by drop — at Calvary... Plead it all day. Plead it at the first sign of evil. If you have evil in your lives — if you’re hurt, or confused, or perplexed, or frightened, or sick, or fatigued — take these matters to the Eucharist and dispel them. Plead that the Blood of Christ washes all evil from you and you’ll find that bondages are broken and light shines and a curtain of darkness and spiritual blindness is lifted - https://spiritdailyblog.com/spiritual-warfare/archives-pleading-his-blood.

Psalm 55 (RSV) - [1] Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication! [2] Attend to me, and answer me; I am overcome by my trouble. I am distraught [3] by the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring trouble upon me, and in anger they cherish enmity against me. [4] My heart is in anguish within me, the terrors of death have fallen upon me. [5] Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. [6] And I say, "O that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; [7] yea, I would wander afar, I would lodge in the wilderness, [8] I would haste to find me a shelter from the raging wind and tempest." [9] Destroy their plans, O Lord, confuse their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city. [10] Day and night they go around it on its walls; and mischief and trouble are within it, [11] ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its market place. [12] It is not an enemy who taunts me -- then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me -- then I could hide from him. [13] But it is you, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. [14] We used to hold sweet converse together; within God's house we walked in fellowship. [15] Let death come upon them; let them go down to Sheol alive; let them go away in terror into their graves. [16] But I call upon God; and the LORD will save me. [17] Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he will hear my voice. [18] He will deliver my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me. [19] God will give ear, and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old; because they keep no law, and do not fear God. [20] My companion stretched out his hand against his friends, he violated his covenant. [21] His speech was smoother than butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. [22] Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. [23] But thou, O God, wilt cast them down into the lowest pit; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in thee. >David speaking prophetically in the person of Christ the just man under persecution from the wicked. This foreshadows Christ persecuted by the unbelieving Jews and betrayed by Judas. David prays that God punish these wicked men and be known as the protector of those who are wronged. *Fr. Gabriel Amorth (Exorcist diocese or Rome): "Exorcism - The Devil - The Rosary" (from Our Mother Queen of Peace Times, Jan.-Feb. 2009) writes: ”One day a colleague of mine heard the devil say during an exorcism, ‘Every Hail Mary is like a blow on my head. If Christians knew how powerful the Rosary was, it would be my end’...Anyone who goes to Mary and prays the Rosary cannot be touched by Satan." The Secret that makes this prayer so effective is that the Rosary is both prayer and meditation. It is addressed to the Father, to the Blessed Virgin, and to the Holy Trinity, and is a meditation centered on Christ - http://www.ourmotherqueenofpeace.org/pdf/Jan- Feb%2009%20v2.pdf. Glorious mysteries of the rosary (ibid); Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus; The devil, our ancient enemy (cf. Eph 6:11-13, Job 2:1-7, Zech 3:1-2, 1 Thes 2:18, Rev 12:10) methodically plots the crushing destruction of authentic love of God and neighbor. Diabolical temptation is aimed at the distortion of God’s

image, distraction from our eternal goal, and the destruction of love. When the soul experiences the absence of authentic love, it readily succumbs to the seduction of diabolical liaisons. In the Church’s ministry of deliverance and exorcism we see this repeatedly. A heart on fire with and for divine love repels the demons. https://catholicexchange.com/sacred-heart-love-that-crushes- evil/. In 1899 Pope Leo XIII approved this Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for public use. This litany is actually a synthesis of several other litanies dating back to the 17th century. A way to bless and protect your house, is called the Sacred Heart of Jesus home enthronement. Mgsr John Esseff (oldest Exorcist in the USA) uses the ‘Sacred Heart home enthronement’ to drive out the demons from houses -https://sacredheartapostolate.com/2019/11/01/msgr-john-esseff-on-the- sacred-heart-enthronement/. The Sacred Heart of Jesus family Home enthronement prayers can be led by a Priest or the Father of the house - https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/family- enthronement-ritual-13696. I recommend that the father of the house do the home enthronement prayers because he lives at the location and demons yield to a husband and fathers authority. When the man of the house does the home enthronement, it makes him more responsible for his interior life, his growth in virtue and holiness.

Psalm 71 (RSV) - [1] In thee, O LORD, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! [2] In thy righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline thy ear to me, and save me! [3] Be thou to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress, to save me, for thou art my rock and my fortress. [4] Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. [5] For thou, O Lord, art my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth. [6] Upon thee I have leaned from my birth; thou art he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of thee. [7] I have been as a portent to many; but thou art my strong refuge. [8] My mouth is filled with thy praise, and with thy glory all the day. [9] Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent. [10] For my enemies speak concerning me, those who watch for my life consult together, [11] and say, "God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him." [12] O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! [13] May my accusers be put to shame and consumed; with scorn and disgrace may they be covered who seek my hurt. [14] But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more. [15] My mouth will tell of thy righteous acts, of thy deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge. [16] With the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD I will come, I will praise thy righteousness, thine alone. [17] O God, from my youth thou hast taught me, and I still proclaim thy wondrous deeds. [18] So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, till I proclaim thy might to all the generations to come. Thy power [19] and thy righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens. Thou who hast done great things, O God, who is like thee? [20] Thou who hast made me see many sore troubles wilt revive me again; from the depths of the earth thou wilt bring me up again. [21] Thou wilt increase my honor, and comfort me again. [22] I will also praise thee with the harp for thy faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to thee with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. [23] My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to thee; my soul also, which thou hast rescued. [24] And my tongue will talk of thy righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disgraced who sought to do me hurt. >David prophetically prays in the person of Christ for ‘perseverance.’ The first part of the Psalm pleads for help on the basis of a ‘hope’ learned from a lifetimes experience of knowing God, the prayer ends with hope and praise. The Chaplet of the Holy Face of Jesus. In 1848 in Tours, France, a Carmelite nun, Sr. Marie of St. Peter, received a series of revelations from Our Lord about a powerful devotion He wished to be established worldwide—the devotion to his Holy Face. This devotion, as detailed in the book The Golden Arrow, is a devotion to Our Lord in reparation for the many blasphemies and outrages he endures and for the triumph of the Catholic Church over her enemies. Our Lord told Sr Marie that this devotion would defeat atheistic communism and restore peace to the world https://iamjesus.net/prayer-to-defeat-communism-the-holy-face-of-jesus/. The Cross calls to mind the mystery of our Redemption. The 33 small beads represent the 33 years of the mortal life of our Lord. The first 30 recall the 30 years of his private life, and are divided into 5 sets of 6 beads with the intention of honoring the 5 senses of touch, hearing, sight, smell and taste of Jesus, which have their seat principally in His Holy Face, and of rendering homage to all the sufferings which our Lord endured in His Face through each one of these senses. The last 3 small beads recall the 3 years of public life of our Savior and have for their object the honoring of all the wounds of His adorable Face. The Gloria is repeated 7 times in honor of the 7 last words of

Jesus upon the Cross, and the 7 sorrows of the Immaculate Virgin. Fr Lawrence Carney: “the chaplet of the Holy Face is like a mini exorcism because it includes Psalm 67 (D.R.) or 68 (NAB) which St Athanasius (Doctor of the Church) said that demons told him it was the most hated part of the OT. And when Pope Leo wrote the minor exorcism prayer to St Michael he included Psalm 67:2 (68 NAB) in that chaplet - https://spiritustv.com/watch/the- chaplet-of-the-holy-face-devotion-is-like-a-mini-exorcism-with-fr-lawrence- carney_t5zRnyXT1pfUCPM.html Psalm 67:verse 1 is what the Israelites would sing under the leadership of Moses whenever they took the Ark of the Covenant and set out for battle: Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Rise up, Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you.” (Numbers 10:35). This is a psalm that’s about Israel’s ancient warrior past. Once God rises up, his enemies melt! However Psalm 11:7 says: “...the upright shall behold his face.” Psalm 105:4 (NAB) “Seek out the LORD and his might; constantly seek his face.” The Origin of Psalm 67/68 is also a Hymn of Victory and Divine Judgment. Psalm 67/68 is one of the most ancient and enigmatic in the Bible. Its structure is complex, filled with warlike symbolism and references to God’s direct intervention in history. 1. A Psalm of Holy War - Originally, this psalm was a victory hymn, celebrating Yahweh’s triumph over Israel’s enemies. Its language is intense: “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered... You marched before Your people.” (vv. 1, 7). The Church Fathers, such as St. Augustine and St. Jerome, saw in these verses not just a historical battle but a cosmic struggle between good and evil. 2. The Christian Interpretation: Christ Crushes the Demons Early Christians read this psalm in a messianic light: “You ascended on high, leading captives in Your train” (v. 18) → St. Paul applies this to Christ, who, after His Resurrection, descends into hell and snatches souls from Satan’s grasp (Ephesians 4:8). “The Lord will crush the heads of His enemies” (v. 21) → A clear allusion to Christ’s victory over sin and the devil. This interpretation made the psalm a powerful text against demonic forces. 3. Historical Testimonies - St. Anthony the Great, father of monasticism, used this psalm against demonic temptations. Medieval exorcists reported that when recited, the possessed reacted violently, confirming its efficacy. Why Was Psalm 67/68 called the “Cursed Psalm”? Not because it was cursed itself, but because demons cursed it, as it reminded them of their defeat by Christ. Some manuscripts called it “the psalm that makes the devil flee. Psalm 67/68 is not a cursed text but a blessed one, proclaiming God’s victory over evil. Its power lies not in the words themselves but in the authority of Christ, who gave us power “to tread on serpents and scorpions” (Luke 10:19). Today, more than ever, we must rediscover the spiritual weapons handed down by Tradition - https://catholicus.eu/en/the-cursed-psalm-the-hidden-power-of- psalm-67-68-in-spiritual-warfare-against-demons/ Golden Arrow Prayer. This prayer sends and actually pleasing projectile His way. Like the Devotion to Jesus’ Holy Face that she also promoted at His request, the Golden Arrow is meant as an act of reparation for the profanation of Sunday and of Holy Days of Obligation as well. This prayer will inspire you to revere our Lord's name so that you may draw closer to Him, as St. Paul

sought to inspire his readers to do in his letter to the Colossians (3:17) when he wrote "whatever you do in word or in work, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus." https://www.ourcatholicprayers.com/golden-arrow.html Psalm 91 (RSV) - [1] He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, [2] will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." [3] For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;[4] he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. [5] You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, [6] nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. [7] A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. [8] You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. [9] Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, [10] no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. [11] For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. [12] On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. [13] You will tread on the lion and the adder, the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot. [14] Because he cleaves to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. [15] When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will rescue him and honor him. [16] With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation. >Psalm 91 has brought comfort and hope to Jews and Christians over the centuries. Not only does it evoke God's help and protection against physical and human dangers, this Psalm has been connected with exorcisms of demonic forces in both rabbinic and Christian traditions – (https://blog.judahgabriel.com/2007/02/dead-sea-scroll-exorcism-psalms.html) Our Lord Jesus Christ replied to satan in the desert citing verse 11 and 12 and satan left. The Chaplet of St Michael the Archangel - also called the Rosary of the Angels is a chaplet resulting from a reported private revelation by the Archangel Michael to the Portuguese Carmelite nun Antónia de Astónaco. The chaplet was approved by Pope Pius IX in 1851. St. Michael promised the following benefits to those who would pray often the nine special invocations to the nine Choirs of Angels, to honor him and to Glorify God: an Angel from each choir will accompany you as you approach Holy Communion, and, along with Saint Michael, Holy Angels will provide continual assistance during your lifetime. After death, you will be delivered from Purgatory. These benefits and blessings are extended to your direct family - https://www.padrepio.org/pray/devotion-to-st-michael-the-archangel/. The Chaplet of St. Michael is a powerful way to call upon St. Michael the Archangel along with the Nine Choirs of Angels, especially in acts of spiritual warfare...This powerful chaplet is designed to call upon St. Michael and all nine choirs of angels to engage in battle with you - https://www.bluearmy.com/the-powerful-chaplet-of-st-michael/. In my imagination I picture Our Lady on a throne with her crown, the Queen of the Angels, as we pray, with her right hand she signals the Seraphim to fly to our assistance like fighter jets flying off a Navy aircraft carrier. As we pray to the angels in order, I see Our Lady with her right hand command each choir of angels

to fly to our assistance, just like the aircraft crew makes hand gestures and sends off fighter jets to do battle. This is what she does with all the choirs of angels as we pray each decade. Psalm 140 (RSV) - [1] Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, [2] who plan evil things in their heart, and stir up wars continually. [3] They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the poison of vipers. [4] Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. [5] Arrogant men have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net, by the wayside they have set snares for me. [6] I say to the LORD, Thou art my God; give ear to the voice of my supplications, O LORD! [7] O LORD, my Lord, my strong deliverer, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. [8] Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further his evil plot! [9] Those who surround me lift up their head, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them! [10] Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into pits, no more to rise! [11] Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily! [12] I know that the LORD maintains the cause of the afflicted, and executes justice for the needy. [13] Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence. >David prays prophetically in the person of Christ for deliverance from the wicked, he prays to be rescued from violent and treacherous foes. The psalmist trusts that the plans of the wicked will recoil upon themselves and this just man prays for divine protection. The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. This prayer is very efficacious against the diabolical because they fear the passion and blood of Jesus Christ. That’s how they were defeated on the cross and the human race was set free (redeemed). “Let us seal the doorpost of our thoughts of our inner thoughts with the Protective Word of God, just as the Israelites marked the doorpost of their houses with the saving blood of the Paschal lamb. So we are guarded from every enemy (demons) by constant return to prayer in moments of quiet” (Magnificat; March 2021 – vol.22, no.13 prayers of “Intercessions’' for daily Mass, 3-10-21). Dr Dan Schneider: “Mental Prayer gives you custody of the intellect. Prayer projects those thoughts into the cosmos (heavenly places), that’s its offensive nature, it also sets up a defensive perimeter. Prayer makes the power of God present. Anamnesis is a Greek word that means more than just ‘remember,’ it makes the prayer “present.” Demons attack the imagination because they don’t want you to pray. Demons traffic through the senses.” *Psychologist and Psychiatrist will tell you that ‘when you focus on something positive (or negative), you give life and energy to it.’ We can overcome Satan in our lives and the lives of our loved ones by claiming the atoning work of Christ and His blood shed for us in prayer, that’s what we pray in the Divine Mercy. St John the apostle has this to say: Revelation 12:11 (RSV) “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus. The Name of Jesus is the banner of combatants . . . We have three kinds of enemies: the world, the flesh and the devil. If the devil rises up against you, do not be afraid, but lift the banner of salvation against him by invoking Jesus. "In My Name," He says, "cast out devils." [Mark 16: 17] - LITANIES (catholictradition.org). Our best our easiest remedy is the Name of Jesus. It drives the demons flying from our sides and saves us from countless evils...say constantly this all powerful Name and the devil can do you no harm (The Wonders of the Holy Name; TAN; p.44-45).

Prayer against retaliation (Deliverance Prayers for use by the Laity, p.37) - Lord Jesus Christ, in your love and mercy, pour Thy Precious Blood over me so that no demon or disembodied spirit may retaliate against me. Mary, surround me with the mantle, blocking any retaliating spirits from having any authority over me. St. Michael, surround me with thy shield, so that no evil spirit may take revenge on me.

Amen. In the movie “For Greater Glory,” before one of the final battles General Gorostietta (actor Andy Garcia) rallies his men by saying: “...You must remember, Men will fire bullets, but God will decide where they land.” In like manner I tell my fellow Catholic brothers and sisters, we will fire ‘arrow prayers’, God will decide on whom and where they land. Our job is to show up and suit up and pray (fire away). i Amorth, Gabriel. “Our Mother Queen of Peace Times.” 2009.
