Catholic Prayers For Protection

The Catholic tradition highlights the need for spiritual defense against evil. Catholics believe in spiritual warfare, where evil forces try to disrupt our bond with God. Catholic prayers for protection from evil invite God’s presence into our lives. They help strengthen our souls against sin and temptation.

The Bible offers countless examples of God’s divine protection over His people. Psalm 91 beautifully describes God as our refuge and fortress, promising deliverance from harm and danger. 

Likewise, Ephesians 6 calls us to put on the “armor of God,” equipping us to stand firm against the forces of evil. These powerful scriptures reaffirm that God is ever-present, ready to safeguard and guide those who trust in Him.

Faith serves as our greatest shield in times of spiritual struggle. When paired with the Church’s sacraments, such as the Eucharist and Reconciliation, our prayers become more powerful. They purify the soul and break the chains of darkness. Sacramentals like Holy Water and St. Benedict Medals offer visible signs of God’s protection. They remind us of His constant care and presence in our lives.

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.

Amen.

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.

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.

Amen.

Prayer for Purification

Jesus, pour Thy Precious Blood over me, my body, mind, soul, and spirit; my conscious and subconscious; my intellect and will; my feelings, thoughts, emotions and passions; my words and actions; my vocation, my relationships, family, friends and possessions. Protect with Thy Precious Blood all other activities of my life. Lord I dedicate all of these things to Thee, and I acknowledge Thee as Lord and Master of all.

Mary, Immaculate Conception, pure and holy Virgin Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, draw each of us under Thy veil; guard me and shield me against all attacks and temptations that would violate the virtue of chastity.



Lord Jesus Christ, I 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.

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.

Prayer For Deliverance and Healing

Heavenly Father, thank you for your precious grace and mercy. Lord, thank you, for letting me see another day. Father, thank you, for a new direction and fresh hope. God, as I go through life trying to get close to where you would have me, I’m grateful. That you have never left my side no matter the situation, no matter the state, no matter my mistakes. Lord God, as I continue to move forward with each day, I thank you for your light that keeps on shinning within. For your powerful hands that continue to hold and your gracious love that protects me. Lord, You took a sinner like me, the least of those expected. You are using me for your glory. In circumstances that I didn’t ask for, but you chose me for what role you have in mind. Blessed God, I ask that the same merciful hand and love be extended to those who are in pain and hurting. Lord, may you continue to change the atmosphere Lord so that your light shines on for eternity. Creator of heaven and the earth. God please continue showering your love throughout this nation to those who don’t know love. Those who don’t know you, or just desire to be in your presence. Father, may they get to know unconditional love through you. I pray that you continue to touch, heal and deliver, send help for those who are in need. Release those who are in spiritual bondage, heal those who are in pain. Send good news to those who are in need of help. Comfort those who are lonely. Strengthen those who feel weak. Give wisdom to those who are confused.

In Jesus name I pray,

 Amen.

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
