A powerful prayer of protection against enemies of the physical and spiritual worlds
I rise on this day that dawns,
By a great force, by the invocation of the Trinity,
by faith in the Triad,
by the affirmation of the unity
of the Creator of Creation.
I rise on this day that dawns,
by the force of Christ’s birth in His baptism,
by the force of crucifixion and burial,
by the force of resurrection and ascension,
by the force of descent to the Last Judgment.
I rise on this day that dawns,
For the love of the strength of the Cherubim,
In obedience to the Angels,
the service of the Archangels,
For the hope of resurrection and reward,
From the prayers of the Patriarchs
By predictions of prophets, In
the preaching of the Apostles
By faith of the Confessors,
by the innocence of the holy virgins,
by the acts of the Blessed.
I rise on this day that dawns,
By the force of the sky:
Sunlight,
Moonlight,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning, Speed of
the wind,
Depth of the seas,
Firmness of the earth,
Rock solidity.
I rise on this day that dawns,
By the power of God to push me,
For the strength of God to support me,
For the wisdom of God to guide me,
For the look of God watching my way,
For the ear of God to hear me,
For word of God in me talking,
by the hand of God to save me,
the way of God before me,
for the shield of God to protect me,
for the host of God who saves me,
of the devil’s traps,
Das temptations of vice,
de all who wish me evil,
Far and near me,
Acting alone or in a group.
Today I call upon such forces to protect me against evil,
Against any cruel force that threatens my body and my soul,
Against the incantation of false prophets,
Against the black laws of paganism,
Against the false laws of heretics,
Against the art of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and magicians,
Against knowledge that corrupts body and soul.
Christ guard me today,
Against poison, against fire,
Against drowning, against injury,
That I may receive and enjoy the reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ to lie down,
Christ when I sit,
Christ the get up,
Christ in hearts of all those who think of me,
Christ in the mouth of all who speak with me,
Christ in every eye that see me,
Christ in every ear that hear me.
I rise, on this day that dawn,
By a great force, by invocation of the Trinity,
by faith in the Triad,
by the affirmation of Unity,
by the Creator of Creation.
