Exorcism Prayer: Greek Edition

Exorcism Prayer: Greek Edition

Kyrie Eleison:

Our Lord God,

Oh! Supreme Ruler of the heavens.

Oh! Sovereign of the ages, omnipotent and all powerful;

You, that made everything

Your will be done;

You, whom in Babylon, turned the cauldron fire

Into water, seven times;

You, that protected

And saved three saintly youths;

You are the doctor

And healer of our soul,

You, who are the savoir of those that walks toward you,

We ask you, we invoke you:

Weaken, expulse and make flee all the diabolical potencies,

Expulse all presence and satanic machinations,

All malignant influence, all curses or evil eye

Sent by maleficent and wicked people

Who have cursed your servant…

Remove the envy and the curse

That has befallen him,

In exchange give him

Abundances of gifts, strength

Success and charity;

You Lord, who love all humanity,

Extend your powerful hands

And with your powerful

And most highest and potent arms

And come to our aid.

Please visit this divine image of yourself,

Send over him your angel of peace.

He is the strong, protector of our souls and our body.

Keep at bay and expulse every evil force,

Every deadly poison

And wicked witchcraft of a corrupt and envious person.

Hear our plea, so that your protected, your supplicant

May sing with gratitude:

“The Lord is my savior

And I have nothing to fear.

No man may harm me.

I will not fear evil

Because you are with me.

You are my God,

My strength,

My Powerful Lord.

Lord of peace, Father of the Future.”

Yes, My Lord God!

Take pity on your image

And save your servant…

Keep him from harm

Or powerful, maleficent threat.

Protect him by helping him rise above all evil;

Via the interception the most sacred

And holy lady: The mother of God

And forever Virgin Mary.

Help him, via the interception

Of your divine archangels

And all your Saints. Amen!

Commentaries on this Exorcism Prayer

This prayer is pretty old. It was said during the early history of the Catholic Church. Originally, it was written in Greek because the early church fathers spoke Greek. They spoke that language because it was the universal tongue in the Roman Empire. It is a bummer how they later switched to Latin. Anyhow, since the early days exorcism was a common service provided by the Church. Even in his days, Jesus used to expel demons. He was so efficient at exorcism that many people thought he was akin to the demons.

As for this prayer in specific, it was part of a long list of prayers used by a powerful, modern day exorcist named Father Gabriele Amorth. He used to say this prayer during his exorcisms. It was very effective. Like most anti demon prayers, it starts by invoking the name of God. It seeks to call him to our presence, so that his divine light may expel the demon. For added strength, around the end of the prayer it calls the angels, the Virgin and all the Saints. The Kyrie Eleison part means, Lord Have Mercy, in Latin. It is featured in many Catholic songs or prayers. I think that is everything worth mentioning about this prayer. It is proven to be very effective when fighting demons.
