“My Lord of Bonfim, I find myself in your presence, humiliating myself with all my heart, to receive from you all the graces that you want to give me.
Forgive me, Lord, all the faults that I may have committed in thoughts, words and works and make me strong to overcome all the temptations of the enemies of my soul.

My Lord of Bonfim! You, who are the Consoling Angel of our souls, I ask and beseech you to help me on difficult days and sustain me in your strong and powerful arms, so that I may walk in peace with you and with God.

Therefore, my Lord of Bonfim, who are the saint with the greatest power on earth, deliver my house and the people who inhabit it, from all evil.
You, Lord, are my Good Shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures and guides me through still waters. So be it.”

“My Lord of Bonfim, who walked on water, today you are between the chalice and the consecrated host. The earth trembles but the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ on the altar does not tremble – the hearts of my enemies tremble. When they look at me I bless them on the cross and they don’t bless me.

Between the Sun and the Moon and the stars and the persons of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. On the crossing I see my enemies, my God, what do I do with them? With the mantle of the Virgin Mary Most Holy I am covered, with the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ I am valid.

If they want to shoot me, water will flow through the barrel of the gun, just as the milk from the breast of Mary Most Holy flowed into the mouth of her beloved son. And other weapons that they raise for me will be suspended in the air and will not reach me.

Just like Mary Most Holy at the foot of the cross, waiting for her blessed son. Rope that I put on my feet will fall, door that locks me will open. Just as the tomb of our Lord Jesus Christ was opened for him to ascend into heaven. Saved I was, saved I am and saved I will be, with the key of the Most Holy Tabernacle I will close myself. (3x).”

“My Lord of Bonfim, I humbly find myself in Your presence to receive from You all the graces You wish to bestow on me. Forgive me, Lord, for all the faults I may have committed by work or thought. Make me strong to overcome all the enemy’s temptations and evil deeds.

May the sacred Orisha Ogum cut with his sword all the evils that approach me. May Yemanja, Queen of the Sea, with your protection, take all the envy that falls on me in shackles to the bottom of the sea; May Oxum take with him all the tears I have to cry, so that despair or misfortune never reach me.

May Ossanha keep away from me all the storms for the winds of bonanza to bring me prosperity; that all the fortune in the world can reach my feet, with the protection of the great orixá Oxum-Maré; May Xangô from the top of his Holy Quarry solidify all the goods that I achieve. Save the Lord of Bonfim, save all the orixás, may they protect me in life, so that I lack nothing.”

“Lord God in the name of Jesus, I ask that at this very moment (say the name of the loved one) miss me very much (say your name). That you can’t get me out of your head and your thoughts, everything you look and see remembers me.

May whatever opposes our union end now, in the name of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit of God, may (say the name of the loved one) feel a deep need to see me, to talk to me, that he reevaluate our situation and decide to stay with me, that the nine choirs of Angels blow my name (say your name) in the ears of (say the name of the loved one) and that (say the name of the loved one) do not feel calm until you say who cannot live without me (say your name) even today.

May my image and my feeling of love enter the heart of (say the name of the loved one), may this desire to see me and talk to me, to kiss me, hug me, to love me, become irresistible at this very moment and always.

Praised be Jesus Christ, praised be our almighty God, King of the entire universe, earth, sky and sea, praised be the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. May this desire of mine be strengthened in the light of Master Jesus and may it come true right now. Today.

By the Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit of God, break the pride, selfishness, indifference and fear that have settled in the heart of (say the name of the loved one). I ask Our Lord Jesus Christ, to (say the name of the loved one) to love me.

That (say the name of the loved one) is not diverted by bad influences and not by feelings for another woman. Who (say the name of the loved one) wants to be by my side at all times and always put me first. I ask the three Archangels Miguel, Gabriel and Raphael to keep away from (say the name of the loved one) people who can keep him away from me (say his name), especially the women he looks for or look for him.

That (say the name of the loved one) be protected and not feel attracted or desire for anyone or any woman other than me (say your name) and stop looking for women other than me (say your name) and not feel desire for any of them. Oh Master, I beg that at this moment (say the name of the loved one) you feel an irresistible desire to call me (say your name), that everything will be fulfilled as soon as I post this prayer.

I (say your name) am the fulfillment of that desire, I am the pure attraction of (say the name of the loved one). I am the immediate longing for (say the name of the loved one). I (say your name) am the perfect love of (say your loved one’s name). I am the fulfillment of (say the name of the loved one). I (say your name) am the heart of (say the name of the loved one).

I (say your name) am the true love of (say your loved one’s) life. Amen, in the name of Jesus, my God, I beg you and I already thank you, because I know that by your mercy, you will grant me this wish fulfilled, my three archangels Miguel, Rafael and Gabriel intercede for me before God. Amen.”
