Cathoic 101 for defense/protection

[carn]

against demonic influence, when an unavoidable duty potentially might get noticed and sabotaged by demonic forces.

Presume that you are given a duty, cannot under any circumstances not pursue to fulfill your duty, but due to the nature of the duty consider it likely or at least possible, that the adversary would be very unhappy for you to suceed and therefore potentially might musters his forces against you personally, so that as a result some sort of demonic forces might try to foil yout attempt to fulfill your duty.

Please list, if possible, how to prepare, what to do, what not to do, what precautions are possible, what help one might/should seek from Church or her earthly servants, saints to ask for assistance, etc. (meaning the full programm, you realy might be into the worst)

Some more cues to understand what i am asking for: specific prayers, mass, confession, help from excocists, blessings, etc.

1. Go to this website: sentrad.org/multimedia/
2. Do a CTRL-F search for “class eight”
3. Listen to the MP3 file, bearing in mind Fr. Ripperger’s “PenanceWare” concept, explained at the top of the linked-to page.

Fr. Ripperger is an exorcist and a former member of the FSSP, which he left in order to found his own order specifically geared toward exorcism. As far as I am aware, he did this will full permission of his superiors, and there is nothing controversial to speak of. He is “traditional” in leaning, but he’s also spoken in no uncertain terms against the SSPX and other “independent” chapels, along with those who frequent them. IMO, his conferences on the demonic are thoroughly Catholic, Thomistic, and are saturated with his experience. I would recommend his talks very highly, and you’ll find all the answers you’re looking for there.

Frequent reception of the sacraments will help. Wearing a crucifix-especially a blessed St. Benedict crucifix or medal. Pray for your enemies, bless youself with Holy Water daily if possible.

Here is a link for a hedge prayer asking the Blood of Jesus to protect you found on the Maryppages website.

Spiritual warfare is outlined in Eph 6:10-17

Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.

Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.

In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all [the] flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Also have you ever checked out the Litany of Humility? I like the first part most, that goes:

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved…
From the desire of being extolled …
From the desire of being honored …
From the desire of being praised …
From the desire of being preferred to others…
From the desire of being consulted …
From the desire of being approved …
From the fear of being humiliated …
From the fear of being despised…
From the fear of suffering rebukes …
From the fear of being calumniated …
From the fear of being forgotten …
From the fear of being ridiculed …
From the fear of being wronged …
From the fear of being suspected …
