Do it yourself
This was forwarded by a reader,
it's Exorcism for humans, but feel free to adjust the prayer so you
can use it for your PC. You might email me your experience, but I
can't make any promises if this actually works!
There are two kinds of "exorcisms":
1) The first kind is called a "Solemn Exorcism":
A Solemn Exorcism can only be performed by a priest appointed by the
local bishop and tehn only with the bishop's specific permission.
Canon Law sets this requirement.
2) The second kind is called a "Simple
Exorcism":
There are some simple exorcisms that can only be done by a priest
or deacon, for example in the blessing of sacramentals.
Other forms of simple exorcisms can be done by laity.
For example, the famous St. Michael Prayer that used to be said after
Mass is a simple exorcism.
Everytime we say, "Father, cast this demon from
my presence" and other such prayers we are doing a "simple
exorcism."
Some people are called to an apostolate of helping people who may
have spiritual/demonological problems and harassments but are not
so severely demonized as to need a solemn exorcism from the Church.
In these lesser cases of demonization, prayerful people,
usually called "Deliverance Counselors" (so as not to confuse
people with the solemn/simple exorcism distinction), may be laity
or clergy and essentially help the demonized person to get rid of
any "hooks" in their lives that demons may be hanging onto,
teach the person how to pray spiritual warfare prayers and to remain
close to God and His Church, and offer intercessory prayer for them.
Under current Church law, a Deliverance Counselor MAY
NOT talk directly to the demons nor directly command them. Thus, instead
of something like, "I rebuke you demon of anger" we must
say, rather, something like, "Father in Heaven, please rebuke
this demon of anger." We must AVOID the "I" language.
When people go to help a demonized person and pray for
them it is common and efficacious to fast. This is a spiritual practice
that is always prudent when dealing with evil.
Prayers:
EXORCISM OF SALT:
2. The exorcism of salt follows: God's creature, salt,
I cast out
the demon from you by the living + God, by the true + God, by the
holy + God, by God who ordered you to be thrown into the water-spring
by Eliseus to heal it of its barrenness.
May you be a purified salt, a means of health for those
who believe, a medicine for body and soul for all who make use of
you. May all evil fancies of the foul fiend, his malice and cunning,
be driven afar from the place where you are sprinkled. And let every
unclean spirit be repulsed by Him who is coming to judge both the
living and the dead and the world by fire. R: Amen.
Let us pray.
Almighty everlasting God, we humbly appeal to your mercy and
goodness to graciously bless + this creature, salt, which you
have given for mankind's use. May all who use it find in it a
remedy for body and mind. And may everything that it touches or sprinkles
be freed from uncleanness and any influence of the evil spirit; through
Christ our Lord. R: Amen.
Exorcism of the water:
God's creature, water, I cast out the demon from you
in the name of God + the Father almighty, in the name of Jesus + Christ,
His Son, our Lord, and in the power of the Holy + Spirit. May you
be a purified water, empowered to drive afar all power of the enemy,
in fact, to root out and banish the enemy himself, along with his
fallen angels. We ask this through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who is coming to judge both the living and the dead and the world
by fire. R: Amen.
Let us pray.
O God, who for man's welfare established the most wonderful
mysteries in the substance of water, hearken to our prayer, and
pour forth your blessing + on this element now being prepared
with various purifying rites. May this creature of yours, when
used in your mysteries and endowed with your grace, serve to cast
out demons and to banish disease. May everything that this water sprinkles
in the homes and gatherings of the faithful be delivered from all
that is unclean and hurtful; let no breath of contagion hover there,
no taint of corruption; let all the wiles
of the lurking enemy come to nothing. By the sprinkling of this
water may everything opposed to the safety and peace of the
occupants of these homes be banished, so that in calling on your holy
name they may know the well-being they desire, and be protected from
every peril; through Christ our Lord. R: Amen.
3. Now the priest pours the salt into the water in the
form of a
cross, saying: May this salt and water be mixed together; in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, + and of the Holy Spirit. R: Amen.
V: The Lord be with you.
R: May He also be with you.
Let us pray.
God, source of irresistible might and king of an invincible
realm, the ever-glorious conqueror; who restrain the force of the
adversary, silencing the uproar of his rage, and valiantly
subduing his wickedness; in awe and humility we beg you, Lord, to
regard with favor this creature thing of salt and water, to let
the light of your kindness shine upon it, and to hallow it with
the dew of your mercy; so that wherever it is sprinkled and your
holy name is invoked, every assault of the unclean spirit may be baffled,
and all dread of the serpent's venom be cast out. To us who entreat
your mercy grant that the Holy Spirit may be with us wherever we may
be; through Christ our Lord. R: Amen.
4. On Sundays after the water is blessed and before
Mass begins the celebrant sprinkles the altar, himself, the ministers,
and the people as prescribed in the Missal and in the ceremony of
the Ritual given below.
5. Christ's faithful are permitted to take holy water
home with
them to sprinkle the sick, their homes, fields, vineyards, and
the like. It is recommended too that they put it in fonts in the
various rooms, so that they may use it to bless themselves daily and
frequently.

8. BLESSING OF OIL EXORCISM OF OIL
V: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R: Who made heaven and earth.
Exorcism
God's creature, oil, I cast out the demon from you by God the
Father + almighty, who made heaven and earth and sea, and all that
they contain. Let the adversary's power, the devil's
legions, and all Satan's attacks and machinations be dispelled
and driven afar from this creature, oil. Let it bring health in
body and mind to all who use it, in the name of God + the Father almighty,
and of our Lord Jesus + Christ, His Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the
Advocate, as well as in the love of the same
Jesus Christ our Lord, who is coming to judge both the living and
the dead and the world by fire. R: Amen.
V: Lord, heed my prayer.
R: And let my cry be heard by you.
V: The Lord be with you.
R: May He also be with you.
Let us pray.
Lord God almighty, before whom the hosts of angels stand in awe, and
whose heavenly service we acknowledge; may it please you to regard
favorably and to bless + and hallow + this creature, oil, which by
your power has been pressed from the juice of olives.
You have ordained it for anointing the sick, so that,
when they are made well, they may give thanks to you, the living and
true
God. Grant, we pray, that those who will use this oil, which we are
blessing + in your name, may be delivered from all suffering, all
infirmity, and all wiles of the enemy. Let it be a means of averting
any kind of adversity from man, made in your image and redeemed by
the precious blood of your Son, so that he may never again suffer
the sting of the ancient serpent; through Christ our
Lord. R: Amen.
It is sprinkled with holy water.
