Powerful prayer of protection against the enemies of the physical and spiritual world

I arise today
Thanks to a mighty force, the invocation of the Trinity,
To faith in the One and Triune Being,
To the confession of unity
Of the Creator of Creation.

I arise today
Thanks to the strength of the birth of Christ and his baptism,
By the force of his crucifixion and burial,
To the strength of his resurrection and his ascent,
At the strength of his descent for the Last Judgment.

I arise today
Thanks to the strength of cherub love,
In obedience to angels,
In the service of the archangels,
In the hope of resurrection and reward,
In the prayers of the patriarchs,
In the predictions of the prophets,
In preaching the Apostles,
In the faith of confessors,
In the innocence of the holy virgins,
In the enterprises of the right men.

I arise today
Thanks to the power of heaven:

Sunlight,
Moonlight,
Fire splendor,
Lightning speed,
Wind speed,
Depth of the sea,
Earth stability,
Firmness of the rock.

I arise today
Thanks to the strength of the Lord who guides me:
God's power to lift me up,
God's wisdom to guide me,
The eye of God to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
The word of God to speak for me,
God's hand to defend me,
the way of God that opens before me,
The shield of God that protects me,
God's army that saves me
from the snares of the devils,
From the temptations of vice,
From anyone who wants me wrong,
near and far,
Alone and in the multitude.

Today I invoke all these forces between me and these evils
Against any cruel and merciless power that opposes my body and soul
Against the witchcraft of false prophets,
Against the black laws of paganism,
Against the false laws of heretics,
Against the practice of idolatry,
Against the spells of witches and druids and wizards,
Against all knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.

Christ shield me today
Against poison, against fire,
Against drowning, against any injury,
So that I can have an abundance of rewards,
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ below me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I get up,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ on the lips of everyone who talks about me,
Christ in every eye that looks at me,
Christ in every ear that listens to me.

I arise today
Thanks to a mighty force, the invocation of the Trinity,
To faith in the One and Triune Being,
To the confession of unity
Of the Creator of Creation.
