O Saint Michael, thrice–holy Prince of the Sacred Militia, God has
charged you with the organization and leadership of the angelic
guards, most worthy of all worship, praise and honor.
Enlighten my inner senses, strengthen my poor heart, agitated by
the storms of this life; raise my mind, inclined towards the things
of the earth, to the heights of celestial wisdom; establish my steps
on the path that leads to Heaven; heal the wounds of my soul;
remove from my soul the trace of so many sins that engender in
me misery and misfortune.
Saint Michael the Archangel, guardian and patron of the Holy
Church, see today the Church of Christ, sometimes challenged,
criticized by the forces of evil. Saint Michael, support the Vicar of
Jesus Christ and all the faithful in communion with him.
Enlighten those who doubt and falter. Be today and always the
defender and protector of the Holy Church of Christ. 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.
