Binding Prayer (Laity)

In the Holy Name of Jesus, and through the power of His precious blood, I ask Almighty God to bind each and every demon coming against me (or my family) or trying to affect me (us) in any way. In Jesus’ name may they be bound and cast out. I ask God to render them all deaf, dumb, blind and powerless.  In Jesus name, may He make them incapable of tempting, tormenting, afflicting or harming me (us). I ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to spread her mantle of protection over me (us).  I ask the Holy Angels to surround me (us), and with the sword of Truth, keep out the evil spirits.  I ask the Blood of Jesus to wash over me (us) and protect me (us).  May it wash over this place, making it a sacred space, free of all evil.
