In the name of Almighty God, may evil spirits stay away from me, and may good spirits serve as my rampart against them! Wicked spirits, who inspire people with evil thoughts; deceitful and lying spirits, who delude them; mocking spirits, who entertain yourselves with their gullibility, I repel you with all
the strength of my soul and I shut my ears to your suggestions; however, I ask God’s mercy upon you.

Good spirits, who have agreed to assist me, give me the strength to resist the influence of evil spirits and the necessary understanding not to be a victim of their ruses. Keep me from pride and presumption; keep from my heart jealousy, hatred, malevolence and all sentiments against charity, which are all open doors to evil spirits.
