WE STAND AGAINST THE DEVIL—BUT ONLY IN YOUR POWER

Jesus Christ, our Lord God, you are our shield and fortress, our strong rock and our only defense.

You know with how great a force that old enemy of ours comes to assault us. The wily serpent beguiled our first parents in paradise. The roaring lion goes about night and day, seeking victims to devour. The devil is a destroyer and waster, the accuser of the saints.

We have no power at all in ourselves to withstand him. So unless you help us, he will easily deceive us with his craftiness, overthrow us by his strength, and tear us to pieces in his cruelty.

But we also know that you will drive him away with just a look. For you have overcome him by your death. You have bound him. Disarmed him. Ruined his house. You have taken away all his lordship and power. You have crushed his head, cast down his throne, and dispossessed him of his kingdom. You have taken any obligation we had to him, and nailed it to the cross. And you have triumphed over him in our nature.

We are weak, naked, unarmed, unskilled, and ignorant. So we come to you—the strong, almighty, wise one—asking you to defend and preserve us from the merciless dragon. Be our eyes, our ears, and our hands. Be our pilot, our guide, and our captain. Defend us against this adversary. Deny his schemes. Confound his tricks. Break his weapons. Overthrow his holds. Quench his fiery darts.

Chase away his armies and give your servants the upper hand. By us and in us, overcome him and his.

Advance the banner of the cross in our hearts, and you will drive him out of the battlefield. Under this banner we dare to march boldly against him. We know that in your power you will deliver us from our enemies, and all that hate us, so we may serve you in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life.

We ask you this for the sake of your mercy, and to the eternal honor of your holy name, amen.
