# Severing Ties, Bonds and Attachments *For severing the ties, bonds and attachments of deeply rooted spirits in the heart (including traumas, deep hurts and wounds), mind or any physical ailment:* With the sword of St. Michael, the sword of Our Lady and the sword of Our Lord's Cross, I sever and break any and all ties, bonds and attachments you have to N.'s heart (mind) or that N. has to you in his (her) heart (mind). Making a plunging movement with the cross toward the heart, the top of the head or the general area of the physical ailment, trace a cross on the area of contact, using any or all of these or other suitable words: With the sword of St. Michael: Quis ut Deus (Who is like unto God). (Thrice) With the sword of our Lady: Ecce ancilla Domini. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum (Behold the Handmaiden of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to thy word). (Thrice) Magnificat anima mea Dominum (My soul magnifies the Lord). (Thrice) Quodcumque dixerit vobis, facite! (Do whatever He tells you). (Thrice) With the sword of our Lord's Cross: Vade Satana (Be gone Satan). (Thrice) Exi de homine (Come out of the man). (Thrice) Crux sacra sit mihi lux, non draco sit mihi dux (May the Holy Cross be my light, the dragon will never be my guide). (Thrice) --- Source: Ripperger, Chad. *Deliverance Prayers for Use by the Laity*. Sensus Traditionis Press, 2018.
