Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)

Guido Reni, circa 1636
Santa Maria della Concezione, Rome
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Saint Michael Archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection against
the wickedness and snares of the devil;
may God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, cast into hell
Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl through the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
__________
+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit – one God forever. Amen.
