Saint Michael the Archangel, it is you whom the holy Church venerates as her guardian and protector. It is also to you that the Lord has entrusted the mission of introducing into heavenly bliss, the redeemed souls. Therefore, pray to the God of Peace to crush Satan under our feet so that he can no longer hold men in his chains and harm the Church. Present our prayers to the Most High, so that the Lord may have mercy on us without delay. Take hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and cast him in chains into the abyss, that he may no longer deceive the nations. Saint Michael the Archangel, benefactor of the peoples who honor you, be always at my side. Teach me to live in unceasing communion of heart and mind with the Lord, in peace with my brothers. Present to God my humble prayers and supplications. Pray with me, pray for me, support me. Amen. Entrusting myself to the intercession of Your blessed Saint Michael the Archangel, I beseech You, Lord, to grant me the grace to love You above all things and to serve You with grace and truth. Saint Michael the Archangel, With your light enlighten us. With your wings protect us. With your sword defend us.
