The Evening prayer
This
is a powerful prayer that should be recited before you retire. It
protects the person from nightmare and possible spiritual, astral or
psychic attacks. Before you recite the prayer place a glass of water
near your bed.
Perform the Cabalistic cross: Touch your
forehead and say; "ATEH", Touch you lower abdomen and say; "MALKUTH",
Touch your left shoulder say; "VEGEBURAH", Touch your left shoulder then
say; "VEGEDULAH", Lastly, imagine a blue cross shining in front of your
chest say; "LEO LAHM".
Bring your hands together and intone: "AMEN".
Recite the following prayer:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
ELOI-MAI
( The God of my protection ) I give thee thanks. Oh God who hast kept
me through the day, Thine is the night, forgive me all my sins of the
day past, in Thine Divine mercy protect me against men of evil thoughts
through the silent hours of this night, defend me from all perils and
dangers of the night. Before I go to rest, I would commit myself to Thy
care, keep alive Thy grace in my heart when I sleep.
Be
my guardian of peace, save me and my dear relatives, friends and
neighbors from terror of the night, comfort and support all that are to
spend this night in sorrow, in affliction or in fear. Strengthen and
confirm thy faithful people convert the wicked, relieve the sick, give
peace to the dying and remove all hindrances to the advancement of the
truth, keep me in safety to the morning of another day, that Thy NAME
may be glorified in Jesus Christ Thy Son our Saviour Amen.
Perform
the Cabalistic cross to conclude the prayer. Dispose the content of the
glass in the morning and replace it in the evening.
