Blessed are those engaged in spiritual combats with the vile demon,
For mighty is your God to save!
The same God who spoke all things into existence by His all-powerful Word upholds you now and through our God, we shall do valiantly!
The same God Who promised that the Seed of the Woman would crush the seed of the serpent now crushes his head in your battle through the intercession of the Holy Virgin Mother of God!
The same God who opened the Red Sea for Israel to escape Pharaoh and his armies will fight for you and grant you also a supernatural deliverance!
The same God Who gave the head of fierce Goliath in battle to little David will strengthen you against the giant evils Satan confronts you with!
The same God who gave us His only begotten Son as the priestly sacrifice to deliver us from the guilt of our sins now gives us forgiveness, healing, justification and benediction through the same sacrifice on our altars around the world!
The same God that raised Jesus Christ from the dead will raise us up with Him at the last Day, and by His resurrection power will smash all the power that death holds over us!
O death where is thy sting?
O grave where is thy victory?
Blessed be Jesus Christ Who causes us to triumph in Him!
Although wicked demons are more powerful than we are, and their lies penetrate and menace our minds, and their bitter condemnations and accusations pierce our souls, yet Christ in us is all-powerful to destroy the works of the devil. Though their merciless temptations lure and oppress us, Christ within us is the hope of glory and the strength we need to resist temptation and live in chastity, purity, and holiness.
O holy blood of Christ, cover us!
O Holy Ghost, divine breath, defend us from within!
O mighty angels, ministers of the heirs of salvation, fight for us!
O Mother of Jesus Christ, Destroyer of Heresies, crush the head of the devil!
Blessed are those engaged in spiritual combats with the vile demon, for mighty is your God to save!
