When anxiety and fear overcome us, prayers can be a powerful tool to put our hearts and minds at ease.
Here are the Catholic prayers that you can use for protection from evil.
Catholic Prayer Against Evil
O God, You are the preserver of men and the keeper of our lives. We commit ourselves to your perfect care on the journey that awaits us.
We pray for a safe and promising journey.
Give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways.
Let no evil befall us, nor any harm come to our dwelling that we leave behind.
Although we are uncertain what the days may bring, may we be prepared for any event or delay and greet such with patience and understanding.
Bless us O Lord, that we may complete our journey safely and successfully under Your ever watchful care.
Catholic Protection Prayer
Jesus, I will arise. Jesus, do thou accompany me. Jesus, do thou lock my heart into thine and let my body and my soul be commended unto thee. The Lord is crucified. May God guard and protect my senses so that misfortunes may not overcome me. In the name of God, the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Guardian Angel Prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light and guide, to rule and guard. Amen
Saint Michael Prayer
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
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 yourself, use me. Banish all the forces of evil from me, destroy them, defeat them, so that I can be healthy and do good deeds.
Banish from me all spells, witchcraft, black magic, evil spells, ties, curses, and the evil eye; diabolic infestations, oppressions, possessions; all that is evil and sinful, jealousy, deceitfulness, envy; physical, psychological, moral, spiritual and diabolical ailments.
Burn all these evils in hell, 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 all-powerful, 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, our guardian angels, and where they will be crushed under the heel of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
St. Joseph Prayer For Protection
O St. Joseph, guardian and protector of the Holy Family, I come before you in humility and with trust, seeking your intercession and protection. You were entrusted with the sacred duty of safeguarding Jesus and Mary, and I implore you to extend your loving care over me and my loved ones.
St. Joseph, defender against evil and adversity, shield us from all harm and danger. Protect us from physical harm, emotional distress, and spiritual attacks. Help us to navigate the challenges and trials of life with strength, courage, and grace.
Intercede for us, dear St. Joseph, that we may be granted the blessings of safety, security, and peace. Guide us in making wise decisions and lead us on the path of righteousness. May your loving presence surround us and keep us from all harm.
St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Powerful Prayer To The Blessed Virgin Mary
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen
Blood of Jesus Protection Prayer
Lord Jesus, I come before you in faith, acknowledging the power and significance of your precious blood. I plead the covering of your blood over me and my loved ones, from the crown of our heads to the soles of our feet.
By the power of your blood, I renounce every form of evil, sin, temptation, and affliction that seeks to harm us. I break off and tear down every stronghold and power of darkness. Lord, fill us with your Holy Spirit and protect us from all harm and danger.
I thank you, Jesus, for shedding every drop of your precious blood to redeem us and set us free from the clutches of Satan. I trust in the power of your blood to shield us and keep us safe from all evil influences.
May the blood of Jesus be a fortress around us, guarding us from all forms of spiritual attack. Cover us with your divine protection and grant us peace and security in your loving embrace.
In your mighty name, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
