At this moment I summon all the forces of greater power, which are between myself and these evils against the incantations of the false prophets, against all those black laws of paganism, against all those false laws of the so-called heretics, against all cunning of idolatry itself, against the spells cast by witches, wizards and warlocks.

Against all curiosity that comes to damage both the body and the soul of people. So I invoke the holy name of Jesus Christ that protects me today against poison, drowning, wounds, fire, so that we can achieve the prize in abundance.

Jesus Christ is with me, Jesus Christ is in front of me, Jesus Christ is behind me, Jesus Christ is to my right, Jesus Christ is to my left, Jesus Christ in width, Jesus Christ in length, Jesus Christ in height, Jesus Christ within the heart of every man who think of me, Jesus Christ is in the mouth of all those who speak of me, Jesus Christ is present in every eye that sees me, Jesus Christ in every ear that listens to me.

From the Lord is salvation, from the Lord Jesus Christ is salvation, Your salvation, oh Lord, be always with us. Amen.
