Book of Needs of the Holy Orthodox Church : $b with an appendix containing offices for the laying on of hands
Russkaia pravoslavnaia tserkov
Orthodox Eastern Church -- Liturgy -- Texts
The Lord forbiddeth thee, O devil, he that came into the world and made
his dwelling among men, that he might cast down thy tyranny, and deliver
men; he that upon the tree triumphed over the opposing powers, when the
sun was darkened, and the earth was shaken, and the tombs were opened,
and the bodies of the saints arose; he that by death destroyed death,
and overcame him that held the might of death, that is, even thee, O
devil. I forbid thee by God, who showeth forth the tree of life, and
rangeth the cherubim, and the flaming sword that turneth about to guard
this. Be thou forbidden! for I forbid thee by him that walketh upon the
waves of the sea as upon dry land, who forbiddeth the storm of winds,
whose glance drieth up the depths, and whose threatenings melt the
mountains; for it is he himself that now forbiddeth thee through us.
Be thou afraid, and depart, and absent thyself from this creature, and
come thou not back, neither hide thyself in him, nor encounter him, nor
influence him, either in the night, or in the day, or in the morning, or
at noon; but get thee away to thine own tartarus, until the appointed
great day of judgment. Fear God, who sitteth upon the cherubim, and
looketh upon the depths, before whom tremble angels, archangels, thrones,
dominations, principalities, virtues, powers, the many-eyed cherubim, and
the six-winged seraphim; whom heaven and earth fear, the sea, and all
that in them is. Get thee away and depart from the sealed newly-elected
soldier of Christ our God; for I forbid thee by him that rideth upon the
wings of the winds, that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a
flame of fire; get thee away and depart from this creature with all thy
might and angels.
_Exclamation._
For glorified is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
_Second exorcism._
Let us pray to the Lord.
