To ward off rival or enemy

powerful prayers of Our Lady of Desterro

“Mighty Our Lady of Exile, in the name of God I ask, banish (name of the undesirable person) forever from my path, where the rooster crows and the ox ruminate. Nossa Senhora do Desterro, (name of the undesirable person) is not stronger than the wind, than the sun, than steel; it has no more power than the blood of Jesus crucified, nor the consecrated host. It is with faith that I ask our Lady of Desterro for this miracle. Drive away and desert (name of the undesirable) forever from my path, to the high waves of the holy sea. So be it!"
