首先，祓魔师向着魔的人洒圣水，这通常会引起恶魔的狂乱的发作和抽搐；接着，祓魔师念诵一长段的祈祷文，《圣经》中的话会被大声地朗读；其次，祓魔师吟唱圣徒的连祷文；最后，教士大声对恶魔说：“以上帝的名义，和你所有邪恶的工作和企图一起离开这个上帝的仆人，不要再伤害他和他的财产。”

First, the exorcists sprinkled holy water on the demon-possessed person, which would usually elicit frantic fits and convulsions from the demons. Then, the exorcists recited lengthy prayers, and words from the Bible were read aloud. Next, the exorcists chanted a litany of saints. Finally, the priests shouted at the demons, saying, "In the name of God, depart with all thy noxious and accursed works and attempts from this servant of God, nor presume longer to injure him and his property."
