Binding Prayer for Use by Priests

In the Holy Name of Jesus, I invoke the Keys of St. Peter and the Church’s authority and I bind each and every demon in and around _____ and around us.  In Jesus’ name I bind them all, and I bind any demons supporting them, their evil leaders, and any minions of Satan. I render them all deaf, dumb, blind and powerless.  They cannot tempt, torment, afflict or harm _____ or any of us.  I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to spread her mantle of protection over us.  May the Holy Angels surround us, and with the sword of Truth, keep out the evil spirits.  I ask the Blood of Jesus to wash over us and to protect us.  May it wash over this place, making it a sacred space.  I claim each and every person, and this place, for Jesus Christ Our Savior.
