We cast you out, every unclean spirit, every satanic power, every onslaught of the infernal adversary, every
legion, every diabolical group and sect, in the name and by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. We
command you, begone and fly far from the Church of God, from the souls made by God in His image and
redeemed by the precious blood of the divine Lamb. No longer dare, cunning serpent, to deceive the human
race, to persecute God's Church, to strike God's elect and to sift them as wheat. For the Most High God
commands you, He to whom you once proudly presumed yourself equal; He who wills all men to be saved
and come to the knowledge of truth. God the Father commands you. God the Son commands you. God
the Holy Spirit commands you. Christ, the eternal Word of God made flesh, commands you, who humbled
Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, to save our race from the perdition wrought by your envy; who
founded His Church upon a firm rock, declaring that the gates of hell should never prevail against her, and
that He would remain with her all days, even to the end of the world. The sacred mystery of the cross
commands you, along with the power of all mysteries of Christian faith. The exalted Virgin Mary, Mother
of God, commands you, who in her lowliness crushed your proud head from the first moment of her
Immaculate Conception. The faith of the holy apostles Peter and Paul and the other apostles commands
you. The blood of martyrs and the devout prayers of all holy men and women command you.
Therefore, accursed dragon and every diabolical legion, we adjure you by the living God, by the true
God, by the holy God, by God, who so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him might not perish but have everlasting life; to cease deluding human creatures and filling them
with the poison of everlasting damnation; to desist from harming the Church and hampering her freedom.
Begone, Satan, father and master of lies, enemy of man's welfare. Give place to Christ, in whom you found
none of your works. Give way to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, which Christ Himself
purchased with His blood. Bow down before God's mighty hand, tremble and flee as we call on the holy and
awesome name of Jesus, before whom the denizens of hell cower, to whom the heavenly Virtues and Powers
and Dominations are subject, whom the Cherubim and Seraphim praise with unending cries as they sing:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth.
