Daily Prayer: Jesus Christ, you are the vanquisher

Optional Memorial of the First Martyrs of the Holy Roman Church
Blessed Virgin Mary

Jesus Christ, you are the vanquisher of demons and the bane of the evil one. By your command, we are your servants, eager to go into the world to combat the forces of evil residing therein. By your sign, Lord, we shall overcome the demons who seek our souls’ destruction. We need only have faith in you, redeemer of mankind. Amen.
