Spiritual Warfare

Catholic Prayers for Protection, Spiritual Warfare & Defense

The Catholic Church has always acknowledged the reality of spiritual warfare. Through Christ's supreme victory on the Cross, believers are endowed with spiritual weapons — the Holy Name of Jesus, the Precious Blood, the St. Michael prayer, and sacramentals — to rebuke evil and remain safe.

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

— Ephesians 6:11
