Aleteia - published on 05/01/18

Rise up, O God ...

Rise up, O God the Father, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Rise up, O God the Son, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Rise up, O God the Holy Spirit, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Rise up, O Blessed Virgin, rise up all God’s angels and saints (St. Michael and [include other patrons here]), and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

This prayer is based on a prayer by Father Joseph Kentenich, and is a prayerful rendering of a verse from the Book of Numbers, 10:35.
