Deliverance & Spiritual Protection

Sealing Prayer of Protection

A short "sealing" prayer that a lay person may pray over himself and those under his lawful authority — spouse, children, household.

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 seal me, my spouse, my children, and all those under my authority in the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Protect us from any and all demonic influence, interference, retaliation or harm, in body and in soul, in mind and in heart, in our memory and our imagination, in our home and in all that You have entrusted to our care. Mary, Mother of God, cover us with your mantle. St. Michael the Archangel, guard us. Holy Guardian Angels, watch over us this day and always. Amen.

About the prayer

It asks God to place the protection of the Precious Blood around them before any deliverance prayer is made. Fr. Chad Ripperger places this prayer first in Deliverance Prayers: For Use by the Laity precisely because the Church's long practice in spiritual warfare is to begin with protection before ever addressing the enemy. The imagery of being "sealed" is scriptural (Ephesians 1:13, Revelation 7:3), and the appeal to the Blood of Christ echoes the Passover of Exodus 12.
