Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
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, thrust
into hell
Satan and all evil spirits
Who wander through the
world
For the ruin of souls.
Amen.

About the Saint
Who Is St. Michael? — The Warrior of Heaven
St. Michael is one of the angels named in Scripture. His name is commonly translated as “Who is like God?” In the Book of Revelation, Michael leads the heavenly angels against the dragon, and Catholics often look to him as a powerful symbol of spiritual courage and protection.
Scripture also presents Michael in the Book of Daniel and the Letter of Jude. Because of these biblical passages, devotion to St. Michael has remained strong for centuries, especially during times of fear, temptation, danger, and spiritual struggle.
The familiar short Prayer to St. Michael is associated with Pope Leo XIII and dates to the late 19th century. Today, many Catholics pray it at church, at home, while traveling, or whenever they seek spiritual protection.
A Personal Note
From Shawn Kilgarlin
I'm Shawn Kilgarlin — wife, mother of four, mental health clinician, and Life Coach. My grandmother Irene Forte Pollert taught me the Prayer to St. Michael when I was a little girl. I remember pulling monkey grass in her yard for 25 cents a day while she taught me the words.
For MawMaw Irene, prayer was one of the most important gifts she could pass down. Later, my son Cody chose St. Michael as his favorite saint. I think she would have loved that connection.
Every ShopCatholic card is also part of my mission of giving. I help provide Christmas gifts to people in need through Holy Angels, and I also serve people in addiction recovery. Thank you for being part of that mission. 🙏⚔️
