Patron Saints for the Oppressed

The following Saints are recommended to those who experience spiritual afflictions, oppressions, obsessions, or other harassments from the Enemy, or any other spiritual warfare issue.

...with the intercessions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Blessed Michael the Archangel, Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, Gordius, Dymphna, Benedict of Nursia, Bruno, Rita of Cascia, Lucian, Marcian, Margaret of Fontana, Quirinus of Sescia, Ubaldo Baldassini, Lucy Bufalari, Teresa of Avila, Bernadette of Lourdes, Agrippina of Rome, Amabilis of Auvergne, Andrew of Segni, Columba of Rieti, Cyriacus the Martyr, Demetrius of Sermium, Denis of Paris, Dionysius the Aeropagite, Margaret of Antioch, Peter the Exorcist, and Vincent de Paul, of my Patron Saint and my Guardian Angel, all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and powerful in the holy authority of the blessed Name of our Lord Jesus Christ...
