Saint Michael the Archangel, whose mission it is to gather our
prayers, direct our battles and weigh our souls, I pay tribute to
your beauty.
It is so similar to that of God, that after His eternal Word, no other
celestial Spirit can compare to you.
Your will is harmoniously united with that of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary, for the good of man.
Defend me against the enemies of my soul and body. Make me
feel the comfort of your invisible assistance and the effects of your
vigilant tenderness.
Saint Michael the Archangel, whose prayer leads to good, see our
prayer as human and understandable when a loved one is taken
from our affection. You are our intercessor before God, pray
intensely for the repose of the souls of our dear departed and for
the consolation of those who mourn them. May the God of Mercy
receive them into the happiness of eternal life. 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.
