Prayers to Saint Bartholomew for Protection

About this book

Since the earliest centuries of the Church, saints who suffered particularly brutal martyrdoms have been regarded as possessing a special spiritual power against evil. In his lifetime, Eastern tradition tells that Saint Bartholomew entered cities dominated by demonic cults, tore down idols, and converted pagan kings and priests, until Christ Himself proclaimed: "Behold, a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit." For these reasons, Saint Bartholomew is invoked as a shield against the attacks of the devil, temptations, deception, and all manner of evil. "Prayers to Saint Bartholomew for Protection" is inspired by this ancient devotion, offering the reader both traditional and contemporary prayers under the patronage of the martyred apostle. You will find a selection of supplications dedicated to asking for protection for your home, your family, your body, and your soul against illness, physical dangers, witchcraft, curses, and spiritual confusion. The book also contains a special novena beneath the protective mantle of Saint Bartholomew, ancient illustrations, meditations, and spaces to write personal intentions. Ideal for those seeking strength in the face of difficult trials, light and truth amidst deception or despair, or wishing to protect themselves and their loved ones in times of vulnerability.
