Binding Prayer (Short Form)

In the name of Jesus Christ, and by the power of His Cross and His Blood, I bind all evil spirits afflicting me — of the air, the water, the ground, the underground and the netherworld — and I bind their retaliation. I break every curse, hex, spell, seal, ritual, sacrifice and evil wish directed against me, and I send them to the foot of the Cross, to be dealt with as Jesus Christ our Lord sees fit. Mary, Mother of God, cover me with your mantle. Amen.
