Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
Prince of the heavenly hosts,
conqueror of the infernal dragon,
you received from
God the strength and power
to destroy through humility
the pride of the powers of darkness.
We implore you help us to true humility
of heart,
to unshakable fidelity,
to fulfill the Will of God, and to
fortitude in sufferings and trials.
Help us to stand before the
judgment seat of God.
Amen.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection against
the wickedness
and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into
hell Satan and all evil spirits
who prowl through the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
