Deliverance & Spiritual Protection

Binding Prayer to Blind the Demons

A petition drawn from a consistent theme in Catholic ascetical literature: demons are creatures, not God, and have no direct access to the interior of the soul unless it is given them.

Sign in to save
In the name of Jesus Christ, and by the power of His Cross and His Blood, I ask You, Lord, to blind the demons so that they cannot see me, my family or anything that belongs to us. I ask You to render them deaf to our words and our prayers, and to prevent them from knowing our thoughts, our plans and our intentions. Hide us, Lord, in the wounds of Jesus Christ, and cover us with the mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that the enemy may find no entrance and no hold. Amen.

About the prayer

This prayer asks the Lord to withhold from them even the exterior signs by which they observe and harass. The imagery of hiding "in the wounds of Christ" is ancient, appearing in the Anima Christi and in the writings of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, who read the clefts of the rock in the Song of Songs as the wounds of the Savior.
