Before departing home or Church, pray the Binding Prayer asking Jesus to bind the demons at the destination address

I.  Binding Prayer

In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, and by the power and authority of my diaconate, I invoke the authority of the Church and I ask God to render all spirits impotent, paralyzed and ineffective in attempting to take revenge against anyone of us, our families, friends, communities, those who pray for us and their family members or anyone associated with us. I ask God to bind and sever and cut off all evil spirits, all powers in the air, the water, the ground, the fire, the underground, the netherworld, any satanic forces in nature and any and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters. I ask God to bind in the Blood of Jesus all their attributes, aspects and characteristics, all of their interactions, communications and deceitful games. I ask God to break any and all bonds, ties and attachments in the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit.

R.  Amen.

Start in center of home or focal point of home

II.  Sealing Prayer of Protection

The deacon seals everyone with Holy Oil: The deacon blesses himself and others with the exorcized Holy Oil saying:

N., I seal you in the most Precious Blood against any and all incursions of the evil one, in particular against any clinging, familial, familiar or retaliating spirits; and I seal you against any spirits sent or summoned against anyone who would attempt to break any and all evil curses, pacts, spells, seals, hexes, vexes, triggers, trances, vows, demonic blessings, demonic bondages, spiritual influences, soul ties, endowments, empowerments, dedications, consecrations, contracts or promises, the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit.

R.  Amen.

III.  Umbrellino Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, Sovereign King enthroned in Heaven, in your love and mercy establish a perimeter of protection with Your Most Precious Blood around myself (and N.), our families, loved ones, those we cherish, and our possessions, blocking the empowerment of Satan or any curses or any other demonic enthronement, abominations in Your sight. I beseech You to create around me (and N.) a sanctuary of your mercy where Satan and any other evil spirit or human agency cannot empower or aid in any way, the demons present here, rendering them deaf, dumb and blind, unable to communicate or receive any empowerment from any other evil spirit by isolating them from each other; that You would strip them of all weapons, armor, power, illusions and authority; that You would bind, rebuke and disable them from communicating or interacting with each other in any way. We ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, enthroned as Queen of Heaven and earth, Mother of the Church, the Sorrowful Mother, Virgin Most Powerful and St. Michael the Archangel, to send down the legions of angels under their command to block, bind and withhold any demons, whether it is Satan or any of his minions, from supporting, aiding or communicating with the demons present in and around (N.), destroying any ability of these to fortify their stronghold, lengthen their stay or strengthen their ability to attack or hide. We ask this in Your Most Holy Name, the Name before which every knee shall bow, in heaven, on the earth and under the earth.

R.  Amen.

IV.  Breaking Curses of the Occult

The deacon either prays the deprecatory prayer to break the curses of the occult, or the one with authority over the house prays to break the curses and the deacon ratifies on behalf of the Church.

I ask God to bind in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus any and all evil curses, pacts, spells, seals, hexes, vexes, triggers, trances, vows, demonic blessings, voodoo, or any other demonic bondages sent against N. or myself, or any of our loved ones or any of our possessions; I ask God to bind them all and break them in the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit. (Thrice)

Ratification Prayer for Curses (optional)

The deacon says the ratification prayer in response only if the prayer for breaking curses of the occult was said by the one who has authority over the house and was not said by the deacon.

In the Most Holy Name of Jesus, I witness your breaking of each and every curse coming against you.  I ask Jesus to break each and every curse coming against you. I ask Him to break these curses individually and separately in the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit.

R.  Amen.

In Jesus' name, I ask the Lord to bind any evil spirits that may have attached themselves to you or harass you in any way as a result of these curses and I ask him to command the demons to leave him/her now and go immediately and directly to the foot of the cross for our Lord Jesus to deal with as he wills in the name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit.

R.  Amen.

V.  Litany of Saints

VI.  House Cleansing and Blessing

Through the intercession of all Saints involved, I ask God to cleanse this house of all demonic influence, drive them out, and send thy Holy Angels. I ask God to shut and close all sources of entry for demonic influence in this house.  I ask God to disrupt any demonic influences or occult activity and cleanse this home of any past activity.  I ask God Almighty, with the intercession of the Saints, to position thy Holy Angels around this house and secure it.

The deacon prays with hands outstretched over the family members.

Almighty and eternal God, your fatherly tenderness never ceases to provide for our needs. We ask you to bestow on this family and this home the riches of your + blessing.  With the gift of your grace sanctify those who live here, so that, faithful to your commandments, they will care for each other, ennoble this world by their lives, and reach the home you have prepared for them in heaven. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R.  Amen

VII.  Enthronement of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Act of Consecration of the family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

This form was approved by St. Pius X on the 19th of May 1908 and is required as such to gain the indulgences. Thus, it cannot be modified. It is recited kneeling by both the priest and the family.

Sacred Heart of Jesus Who didst make known to St. Margaret Mary Thine ardent desire to reign over Christian families behold us assembled here today to proclaim Thine absolute dominion over this our (this) home. Henceforth we purpose to lead a life like unto Thine, so that amongst us may flourish the virtues for which Thou didst promise peace on earth, and for this end we will banish from our midst the spirit of the world which Thou dost abhor so much. Thou wilt reign over our understanding by the simplicity of our faith. Thou wilt reign over our hearts by an ardent love for Thee; and may the flame of this love be ever kept burning in our hearts by the frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist.

Deign, O Divine Heart, to preside over our meetings, to bless our undertakings, both spiritual and temporal, to banish all worry and care, to sanctify our joys, and soothe our sorrows. If any of us should ever have the misfortune to grieve Thy Sacred Heart, remind him of Thy goodness and mercy towards the repentant sinner.

Lastly, when the hour of separation will sound, and death will plunge our home into mourning, then shall we all, and every one of us be resigned to Thy eternal decrees, and seek consolation in the thought that we shall one day be reunited in Heaven, where we shall sing the praises and blessings of Thy Sacred Heart for all eternity.

May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, offer Thee this our Consecration and remind us of the same all the days of our life.

Glory to the Divine Heart of Jesus, our King and our Father.

Family Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of the Heart of Jesus, Mother and Queen of our household that we may fulfill Thy ardent desire, we consecrate ourselves to Thee, and we beseech Thee to reign over our (this) family. Reign over each one of us, and teach us how to make the Sacred Heart of Thy Divine Son reign and triumph in us and about us, as He has reigned and triumphed by Thee. Reign over us, O Beloved Mother so that we may be Thine both in prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death.

O most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over our souls and our hearts and preserve them from the flood of pride, impurity, and paganism of which Thou hast complained so bitterly. We desire to do reparation for the numerous crimes committed against Jesus and Thee.

We call upon our home, upon the homes of this country and upon those of the entire world, the peace of Christ in justice and charity. Wherefore we promise to imitate Thy virtues, by a practical Christian life, and by frequent and fervent Holy Communion, regardless of human respect.

We come with confidence to Thee, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love; inflame us with the same divine fire which has inflamed Thy own Immaculate Heart. Kindle in our Hearts and homes, the love of purity, an ardent zeal for souls, and desire for the holiness of family life. We accept now, all the sacrifices that the Christian life will impose on us and we offer them to the Heart of Jesus, by the Immaculate Heart, in a spirit of reparation and of penance.

To the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary be love, honor, and glory forever and ever!

Amen.

Enthrone Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart Prayer Cards in a place of honor

Sprinkle those present and the entire house with Holy water going room to room, closets, etc

Let this water call to mind our baptism into Christ, who has redeemed us by his death and resurrection.

Either the one with authority over the house, or the deacon, also makes a sign of the cross with exorcized holy oil over all the doors and windows of each room saying,

I claim this place for Jesus Christ

Look for occult objects such as Buddha or Hindu statues, Voodoo dolls, crystals, new age, Masonic images, dream catchers, Ouija boards etc., while blessing the home – all go in trash outside home.

VIII.  Prayer Against Retaliation

Lord Jesus Christ, in your love and mercy, pour Your Precious Blood over us so that no demon or disembodied spirit may retaliate against us.

Mary, surround us with your mantle, blocking any retaliating spirits from having any authority over us.

St. Michael, surround us with your shield, so that no evil spirit may take revenge on us.

Queen of Heaven and St. Michael, send down the legions of angels under your command to fight off any spirits that would seek to harm us.

All you saints of heaven, impede any retaliating spirit from influencing us. Lord, You are the Just Judge, the avenger of the wicked, the Advocate of the Just, we beg in Your mercy, that all we ask of Mary, the angels and the saints of heaven be also granted to all our loved ones, all of our possessions, those who pray for us and their loved ones, that for Your Glory’s sake, we may enjoy Your perfect protection.

R.  Amen.

IX.  Cleansing Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank you for sharing with us Your wonderful ministry of healing and deliverance. Thank you for the healing we have seen and experienced today.

But we realize that the sickness and evil we encountered are more than our humanities can bear. So, cleanse us of any sadness, negativity, or despair that we may have picked up during the course of this ministry.

If our ministry has tempted us to anger, impatience, or lust, cleanse us of those temptations and replace them with love, joy and peace.

If any evil spirits have attached themselves to us or oppress us in any way, spirits of earth, air, fire, or water, of the netherworld or of nature, and all spirits not of the Holy Spirit, we pray that these evil spirits would depart now and go straight to Jesus Christ, for Him to deal with as He wills.

Come, Holy Spirit, renew us, fill us anew with Your power, love and joy. Strengthen us where we have felt weak and clothe us with Your light. Fill us with life. And Lord Jesus, please send your holy angels to minister to us and our families and to guard and protect us from all sickness, harm, and accidents and guard us on a safe trip home, and grant us a peaceful night’s rest. We praise You now and forever.

Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we pray that the cleansing power of the precious blood of Your Son come upon us right now.  Purify us and wash us clean with the blood of Jesus from the top of our heads down to the very soles of our feet. Let this blood penetrate the very marrow of our bones to cleanse us from any entanglement from whatever evil spirits we have come in contact with during the course of our intercession.

Anoint us with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and refresh our body, soul, and spirit, and may the sign of Your holy cross drive away all evil spirits from us in the Name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit.

R.  Amen.

Sprinkle all present with holy water and depart.

Repeat Cleansing Prayer in car if necessary...
