AMERICA Prayer Vigil, October 31, 2019 [prayer]

We come to You with willing hearts to pray for America’s salvation through Christian revival. May the spiritual harvest be abundant, Lord! Prosper us with the time to study your Word, the opportunities to speak Your Word in love, and the discernment to recognize those appointments, whether to plant a seed or simply to work the field; for You are the One Who gathers souls to You.

Amen, Albion Wilde, and AMEN to all the wonderful spirit-led prayers here today. Father, prepare the laborers for the harvest is ready!

Former Satanist Warns Christians about Celebrating Halloween

Excellent post; thank you and amen!

Almighty Father,
Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear no evil, for Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, has conquered evil and death, illuminating even the darkest valley.
Therefore, we beg you:
Protect us from the enemy. Defend us from all evil, and give us the grace to walk in the Light of your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.

—David Bennett

Prayers for All Hallows Eve

Deliverance from Evil

Sanctify, O Lord, our souls, minds, and bodies.
Touch our minds and search out our consciences.
Cast out from us every evil thought, every impure idea, every base desire and memory, every unseemly word, all envy, pride and hypocrisy, every lie, every deceit, every worldly temptation, all greed, all vainglory, all wickedness, all wrath, all anger, all malice, all blasphemy, and all sloth—every movement of flesh and spirit that is alien to the will of your holiness.
Enable us to turn to You, Master, Lord Who loves humankind, to call upon You with boldness and without condemnation, with a pure heart, a contrite soul, a face unashamed, and with lips that are sanctified.

—from the ancient Liturgy of Saint James

From the Lorica (Breastplate) of Saint Patrick

I bind to myself today
God’s Shield to shelter me, God’s Host to secure me,
Against the snares of demons, against the seductions of vices,
against the lusts of nature, against everyone who meditates injury to me,
whether far or near, whether few or with many.
I invoke today all these virtues against every hostile merciless power
which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets, against the black laws of heathenism,
against the false laws of heresy, against the deceits of idolatry,
against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
Christ, protect me today against poison, against burning,
against drowning, against death-wound, that I may receive abundant reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me, at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me.
I bind to myself today
the strong virtue of the Invocation of the trinity,
I believe in the trinity in Unity, the Creator of the Universe.

—St Patrick, ca 432

Prayer to Christ Against Evil
Christ Our Lord,
You suffered and were tempted. You are powerful to come to the aid of those who are assailed by the devil, for you are the support of Christian people.
O Lord, protect with Your Right Hand those who trust in Your Name. Deliver them from the Evil One, and grant them everlasting joy.
Amen

—Gregory of Khandzta (759-861)

Amen.

Father, we pray that our citizens would turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in Jesus.‭‭(Acts‬ ‭26:18‬). We pray that they would turn away from idols to serve the living and true God. (‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:9‬) ‭By Your grace, show them the Truth that will set them free.

We pray especially for the saints that are unknowingly participating in this celebration of darkness today. Hear our groanings for them to have understanding.

For those who are distributing treats today for opportunities to bless their neighbors, open doors of utterance and show them how to give in Jesus’ name and grow Your Kingdom in cooperation with Your Spirit.

This is the message we have heard from him
and declare to you:
God is light;
in him there is no darkness at all.

Amen, Albion Wilde

Joining in prayer this eve of All Saint’s Day for our beloved America:

* For a turning to God as evil rears its ugly head

* For God’s Word to be ingested into our mind and spirit

* For remembrance of the witnesses for Christ that have come before us

* For protection of President Trump, his family, advisors, all godly in leadership from the Deep State and the spiritual forces of darkness

* For protection of the innocence from the evils in this world

* For protection of all those (human and canine) who go into harm’s way to serve and keep us safe, home and abroad

In Jesus Name
Amen

Join us today to pray for our nation on this All Hallows' Eve.

DONE!

Every morning before Mass we all say a rosary together. The intentions for those prayers are announced BEFORE the rosary.

We ALWAYS pray for:
those who protect us, military and law enforcement,
our leaders, Church, nation, etc.
an end to abortion,
healing to those parishioners who are ill and we pray or their caregivers,
those in our parish who passed away...and for their eternal rest with the Lord.

I pray or my beloved family and two best friends who were taken up so early.
I pray for my enemies. It's TOO easy, I once heard, to pray for our friends.

The rosary is a POWERFUL prayer. It takes us all about twenty minutes to complete it.

We KNOW that our God is a good and merciful God...and we all pray for His mercy.
