Short and powerful prayer for protection against evil

 

Seven Marks of Holy Cross of Christ

I BEG of you, oh Holy Cross of Christ, protect:

 my MIND from thinking evil As you’re begging for this, trace out (mark) with your thumb the shape of a Holy Cross on your forehead.

my EYES from seeing evil (mark a Holy Cross over each eye)

my EARS from hearing evil (mark a Holy Cross over each ear)

my MOUTH from speaking evil (mark a Holy Cross over your lips)

 my HEART from all evil (mark a Holy Cross above your heart)

(Finally, seal your body with the big sign of the Cross by invoking the Holy Trinity)

IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN!
