Prayers Against the Powers of Darkness

A powerful treasury of prayers for members of the lay faithful from the ritual book used by exorcists

The devil is always in pursuit of the hearts of those striving toward heaven. Prayers Against the Powers of Darkness is a pocket-sized booklet that gives Catholics a series of invocations and litanies that they can use in their struggle against the infernal enemy. It is a powerful treasury of prayers of praise and supplication to almighty God, as well as prayers invoking the intercession of the saints, that can be used by the lay faithful to combat temptations of sin or spiritual attacks by the devil.

This durable prayer book includes:

•     Prayers to God for Protection
•     Invocations to the Holy Trinity
•     Invocations to Our Lord Jesus Christ
•     Invocations to the Blessed Virgin Mary
•     St. Michael the Archangel Prayer
•     Litanies

Prayers Against the Powers of Darkness is the complete text of “Supplications Which May Be Used by the Faithful Privately in Their Struggle Against the Powers of Darkness,” which is Appendix II of Exorcisms and Related Supplications, the ritual book used by exorcists. While the official ritual book for exorcism is only distributed to bishops for use by certain priests they assign to serve as exorcists in their diocese, the prayers from this appendix can be prayed privately by all Catholics.
