Prayer
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
Glorious Saint Michael, guardian and
defender of the Church of Jesus Christ,
come to the assistance of His followers,
against whom the powers of hell are
unchained. Guard with special care our
Holy Father, the Pope, and our bishops,
priests, all our religious and lay people,
and especially the children.
Saint Michael, watch over us during life,
defend us against the assaults of the
demon, and assist us especially at the
hour of death. Help us achieve the
happiness of beholding God face to face
for all eternity.
Saint Michael, intercede for me with God
in all my necessities, especially (mention
a special petition). Obtain for me a
favorable outcome in the matter I
recommend to you. Mighty prince of the
heavenly host, and victor over rebellious
spirits, remember me for I am weak and
sinful and also prone to pride and
ambition. Be for me, I ask, my
powerful aid in temptation and cruelty,
and above all do not forsake me in my
time of struggle with the powers of evil.
Amen.
