Recently, I went onto the Tradition in Action website, to become familiar with more traditional prayer, along with the Latin Translation.
 While searching through the site. I came across an Exorcism prayer, issued by Pope Leo XIII, and can be said by either priest, or Lay Person.
 I just wondered if anybody else on the Forum, was familiar with this prayer.
Nemo me inpune lacessit.

A direct link would be helpful.  If it's the Saint Michael "excorcism" prayer, there's a short version for the laity (a paragraph length), and a much longer formal exorcism prayer exclusively for the clergy.
"O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, granting to Thy people victory over all their enemies, and by the power of Thy Cross preserving Thy commonwealth."

"Through the prayers of the Theotokos O Savior save us"

Antonius,I have to caution you regarding TIA, which appears to be a Catholic website, but is not. Their leader Atila G., says on his own website that God is less important to him than Plinio:
This link is written by Atila and posted on his website. An excerpt is below.

 p. 36
 Even the contemplation of God's plans in History . .  did not bring me the broadness of panoramas and the sense of the divine that my relationship with Dr. Plinio provided. . .
 . . .
 "This relationship . . . is sacred to me. The great Moses with his burning bush on the top of Sinai does not make me jealous. For if he were there with God for 40 days, I have been with Dr. Plinio for 33 years. And in this relationship I see, perhaps, more of the divine presence than he before the sacred bush. And I guard the hope that I still may win the dispute with this Prophet when I shall pass from this exile to the Fatherland."
To have courage for whatever comes in life - everything lies in that.
Saint Teresa of Avila

Many thanks for the word of caution. I had only recently found this website, and felt a little uncomfortable with just the basic part of what I came across. Rest assured, there will be a distance between myself and this website.
Nemo me inpune lacessit.

A layman should not attempt an exorcism, the devils are very powerful masters of deception, it can end very poorly.

Traditionally, after every low mass, the following Leonine prayer to st. Michael is said against Satan and other evil spirits:

Sancte Míchaël Archángele, defénde nos in proélio, contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli esto præsídium. Ímperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur: tuque, princeps milítiæ cæléstis, Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos, qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in mundo, divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Amen.

You can safely pray this one, as many times per day as you deem necessary. It is a very effective prayer, suitable for everyone. It is also very short, so you can say it whenever you feel tempted to sin or for some other reason think you might be in the presence of a devil. Or just to keep you and other souls safe during day and night.

Tomorrow is the feast of st. Michael. You could also pray, just before the mass, the chaplet of st. Michael, it is a most beautiful prayer consisting of nine angelic salutations, one for each choir of angels. It takes about half an hour to say it slowly, so plan ahead (it consists of 13 ourfathers and 27 hailmarys, in addition to 9 angelic salutations, and a concluding prayer).

When I went on to the website and came across what I did. I found it different from what I had been taught at an early age. This is why I searched for clarification on the matter. The chaplet of St Michael is one that I will start using, thanks for the link.
