1. Auxilium Christianorum Prayers


The Auxilium Christianorum, which means "Help of Christians," is an association founded by the exorcist, Rev. Chad Ripperger, PhD, SMD. He strongly advises that Catholics be in state of grace before offering these prayers.

Opening Prayer for Each Day

Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Who made heaven and earth.

Most gracious Virgin Mary, thou who wouldst crush the head of the serpent, protect us from the vengeance of the evil one. We offer our prayers, supplications, sufferings and good works to thee so that thou may purify them, sanctify them and present them to thy Son as a perfect offering. May this offering be given so that the demons that influence or seek to influence the members of the Auxilium Christianorum, participants in Operation True Cross, and all residents of the United States do not know the source of their expulsion and blindness.

Blind them so that they know not our good works. Blind them so that they know not on whom to take vengeance. Blind them so that they may receive the just sentence for their works.

Cover us with the Precious Blood of thy Son so that we may enjoy the protection which flows from his passion and death. Amen.

Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here,
ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

Pray one Our Father.

Pray one Hail Mary.

Pray one Glory Be.

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Thou hast redeemed us with Thy Blood, O Lord.
And made of us a kingdom for our God.

Let us pray: Almighty and everlasting God, who hast appointed thine only-begotten son to be the Redeemer of the World, and hast been pleased to be reconciled unto us by His Blood, grant us, we beseech thee, so to venerate with solemn worship the price of our salvation, that the power thereof may here on earth keep us from all things hurtful, and the fruit of the same may gladden us for ever hereafter in heaven. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Pray the Prayer for the Day of the Week:

On Sundays:

O Glorious Queen of Heaven and Earth, Virgin Most Powerful, thou who hast the power to crush the head of the ancient serpent with thy heel, come and exercise this power flowing from the grace of thine Immaculate Conception. Shield us under the mantle of thy purity and love, draw us into the sweet abode of thy heart and annihilate and render impotent the forces bent on destroying us. Come Most Sovereign Mistress of the Holy Angels and Mistress of the Most Holy Rosary, thou who from the very beginning hast received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan. Send forth thy holy legions, we humbly beseech thee, that under thy command and by thy power they may pursue the evil spirits, counter them on every side, resist their bold attacks and drive them far from us, harming no one on the way, binding them to the foot of the Cross to be judged and sentenced by Jesus Christ Thy Son and to be disposed of by him as he wills.

Saint Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, come to our aid in this grave battle against the forces of darkness, repel the attacks of the devil and free the members of the Auxilium Christianorum, participants in Operation True Cross, residents of the United States, and those for whom the priests of the Auxilium Christianorum pray, from the strongholds of the enemy.

Saint Michael, summon the entire heavenly court to engage their forces in this fierce battle against the powers of hell. Come O Prince of Heaven with thy mighty sword and thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits. O Guardian Angels, guide and protect us.
Amen.

On Mondays:

In thy name, Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that thou cover us, our families, and all of our possessions with thy love and thy Most Precious Blood and surround us with thy heavenly angels, saints and the Mantle of Our Blessed Mother.
Amen.

On Tuesdays:

Lord Jesus Christ, we beg thee for the grace to remain guarded beneath the protective Mantle of Mary, surrounded by the holy briar from which was taken the Holy Crown of Thorns, and saturated with thy Precious Blood in the power of the Holy Spirit, with our guardian angels, for the greater glory of the Father.
Amen.

On Wednesdays:

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and God, we ask thee to render all spirits impotent, paralyzed and ineffective in attempting to take revenge against any one of the members of the Auxilium Christianorum, participants in Operation True Cross, and residents of the United States, our families, friends, communities, those who pray for us and their family members, or anyone associated with us and for whom the priests of the Auxilium Christianorum pray.

We ask thee to bind all evil spirits, all powers in the air, the water, the ground, the fire, under ground, or wherever they exercise their powers, any satanic forces in nature and any and all emissaries of the satanic headquarters. We ask thee to bind by thy Precious Blood all of the attributes, aspects and characteristics, interactions, communications and deceitful games of the evil spirits. We ask thee to break any and all bonds, ties and attachments in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

On Thursdays:

My Lord, thou art all powerful, thou art God, thou art our Father. We beg thee through the intercession and help of the Archangels Saints Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel for the deliverance of our brothers and sisters who are enslaved by the evil one. All Saints of Heaven, come to our aid.

From anxiety, sadness and obsessions,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

From hatred, fornication, and envy,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

From thoughts of jealousy, rage, and death,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

From every thought of suicide and abortion,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

From every form of sinful sexuality,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

From every division in our family, and every harmful friendship,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

From every sort of spell, malefice, witchcraft, and every form of the occult,
we implore thee, deliver us, O Lord.

Thou who said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." Grant that, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, we may be liberated from every demonic influence and enjoy thy peace always, in the name of Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

On Fridays:

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

On Saturdays:

O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon thy holy name and humbly beseech thy clemency, that, through the intercession of the ever Immaculate Virgin, our Mother Mary, and of the glorious Archangel Saint Michael, thou wouldst vouchsafe to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits that are prowling about the world to the great peril of the human race and the loss of souls. Amen.

After the Prayer for the Day of the Week, pray the Concluding Prayer for Each Day:

Concluding Prayer for Each Day

August Queen of the Heavens, heavenly Sovereign of the Angels, thou who from the beginning hast received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech thee to send thy holy legions, so that under thy command and through thy power, they may pursue the demons and combat them everywhere, suppress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss. O good and tender mother, thou wilt always be our love and hope! Most Holy Mother, send thy holy angels to defend us and to drive far away from us the cruel enemy. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us and guard us. Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us.
Virgin Most Powerful, pray for us.
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.

2. The Divine Mercy Chaplet


To honor the request of the Guardian Angel of the United States of America.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. I offer this chaplet in atonement for the sins of the United States of America, especially for the sin of abortion.

Pray three times:

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of mercy for us, I trust in you!

Pray one Our Father.

Pray one Hail Mary.

Pray the Apostles Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Then, pray five decades:

Eternal Father,
I offer you the Body and Blood,
Soul and Divinity,
of your dearly beloved son,
Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
in atonement for our sins
and those of the whole world
.

Repeat ten times for each decade:

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.

After five decades, pray three times:

Holy God,
Holy Mighty One,
Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us
and on the whole world.

Closing prayer:

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is love and mercy itself. Amen.

3. Mantle of Mary Prayer


Almighty Father, we offer our prayers in the Holy Name of your Eucharistic Son, Jesus, in atonement for the sins of the United States, especially for the sin of abortion and all sins of the flesh. We humbly request that You fortify the fearsome Guardian Angel of the United States, along with your mighty Archangel Michael and every angel assigned to their legions, to save America in her time of distress. May they teach us how to combat evil.

Eternal Father, deliver us as you delivered your people by the parting of the Red Sea!

Eternal Father, just as your servant David defeated Goliath with one smooth stone, by the sweep of your mighty hand, cast into the abyss forever all those diabolical powers and principalities which seek to dominate and degrade our children, our neighbors, and our communities. Direct us as you directed David's stone in battle.

Eternal Father, we beg You to remember always the sacrifice of our holy martyrs of North America, whose blood has forever anointed our very soil for Your divine purposes.

Eternal Father, honor the faith of our fathers and mothers who have gone before us into your heavenly embrace, and who intercede for victory on our behalf.

Eternal Father, honor the covenant made by our bishops, who, inspired by your prophetic grace, solemnly consecrated our nation to the Immaculate Virgin Mary in every century since our founding.

By the infinite merits of the Blood of Christ, offered everywhere and every day in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout our states and territories, keep the Mantle of Mary pinned at every border to fully cover the United States of America, a nation you, O God, brought forth into salvation history through your divine will, merciful grace, and providential protection.

O Almighty and Eternal Father, in union with all of our Christian brothers and sisters who offer prayers, fasts, and self-denials for deliverance of America from evil, we implore You to deeply immerse every soul in our beloved nation within an overflowing ocean of your Holy Spirit, the Divine Spouse of Immaculate Mary, and to thus vanquish the serpent, his demons, and those who serve the evil one within our midst, while bringing forth, we pray, the new Great Awakening and Illumination of Consciences. Amen.

Thank you for praying with us.

Please share these prayers with others.
