I exorcise you so that you may become a means of salvation for believers, that you may bring health of soul and body to all who make use of you, and that you may put to flight and drive away from the places where you are sprinkled; every apparition, villainy, turn of devilish deceit, and every unclean spirit; adjured by him who will come to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire.

P: Let us pray. O God, for the salvation of mankind, you built your greatest mysteries on this substance, water. In your kindness, hear our prayers and pour down the power of your blessing (+) into this element, made ready for many kinds of purifications. May this, your creature, become an agent of divine grace in the service of your mysteries, to drive away evil spirits and dispel sickness, so that everything in the homes and other buildings of the faithful that is sprinkled with this water, may be rid of all uncleanness and freed from every harm. Let no breath of infection and no disease-bearing air remain in these places. May the wiles of the lurking enemy prove of no avail. Let whatever might menace the safety and peace of those who live here be put to flight by the sprinkling of this water, so that the health obtained by calling upon your holy name, may be made secure against all attack. Through Christ our Lord.

P: Let us pray. O God, Creator unconquerable, invincible King, Victor ever-glorious, you hold in check the forces bent on dominating us. You overcome the cruelty of the raging enemy, and in your power you beat down the wicked foe. Humbly and fearfully do we pray to you, O Lord, and we ask you to look with favor on this salt and water which you created. Shine on it with the light of your kindness. Sanctify it by the dew of your love, so that, through the invocation of your holy name, wherever this water and salt is sprinkled, it may turn aside every attack of the unclean spirit, and dispel the terrors of the poisonous serpent. And wherever we may be, make the Holy Spirit present to us, who now implore your mercy. Through Christ our Lord.

Following the Lord’s Will in Ministry
Dec 13th
The great disparity between our wills and God’s will has caused turmoil for man since original sin. It sounds so easy to follow the Lord, but when the first crossroad appears before us we often turn away in despair.
On the road to Heaven what are the signs turning us away?
Just give in a little bit…It’s good for you to try.
God’s way isn’t really the best way.
Laziness and fear.
Distractions, idols, and gimmicks
When planning a campaign, parish program, youth group evening, etc begin first with the Lord. Don’t allow the onslaught of deception from the world drive you off course. Worldly values are like a stereo that must be turned off.
Look to the Lord’s Signs
The Sacraments, Adoration, Scripture, and the Rosary
The Lives of the Saints
Examples of holy men and women in your diocese
The Writings of the Pope
The Fruits of the Holy Spirit
It is through the Lord that we are feed, nourished, and prepared for ministry. If what we do is not in the Lord’s name, who are we accomplishing it for?
The most success in parish ministry will come from prayer. Faith combined with our reason will produce the results that are needed.
Stop worrying, getting distracted, ministering half-heartily, and giving up. Turn off and Turn God ON!
