The Chaplet of St. Michael The Archangel

Opening Prayer to Our Lady
Oh, Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root
in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down
upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!
From famine and war, deliver us.
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us.
From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us.
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us.
From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver
us.
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us.
From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us.
From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human
beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.
Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world your infinite power of
merciful Love. May it put a stop to evil. May it transform consciences. May your
Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope.

Saint Michael the Archangel - Act of Consecration
Saint Michael the Archangel, invincible prince of the angelic hosts and glorious protector
of the universal Church, I greet you and praise you for that splendor with which God has
adorned you so richly. I thank God for the great graces he has bestowed upon you,
especially to remain faithful when Lucifer and his followers rebelled, and to battle
victoriously for the honor of God and the divinity of the Son of Man.
Saint Michael, I consecrate to you my soul and body. I choose you as my patron and
protector and entrust the salvation of my soul to your care. Be the guardian of my
obligation as a child of God and of the Catholic Church as again I renounce Satan, his
works and pomps. Assist me by your powerful intercession in the fulfillment of these
sacred promises, so that imitating your courage and loyalty to God, and trusting in your
kind help and protection, I may be victorious over the enemies of my soul and be united
with God in heaven forever. Amen.

PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
O glorious Prince of the heavenly host, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the
battle and in the fearful warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers,
against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come thou to the
assistance of men, whom Almighty God created immortal, making them in His own
image and likeness and redeeming them at a great price from the tyranny of Satan. Fight
this day the battle of the Lord with the legions of holy Angels, even as of old thou didst
fight against Lucifer, the leader of the proud spirits and all his rebel angels, who were
powerless to stand against thee, neither was their place found any more in heaven. And
that apostate angel, transformed into an angel of darkness who still creeps about the earth
to encompass our ruin, was cast headlong into the abyss together with his followers. But
behold, that first enemy of mankind, and a murderer from the beginning, has regained his
confidence. Changing himself into an angel of light, he goes about with the whole
multitude of the wicked spirits to invade the earth and blot out the Name of God and of
His Christ, to plunder, to slay and to consign to eternal damnation the souls that have
been destined for a crown of everlasting life. This wicked serpent, like an unclean torrent,
pours into men of depraved minds and corrupt hearts the poison of his malice, the spirit
of lying, impiety and blasphemy, and the deadly breath of impurity and every form of
vice and iniquity. These crafty enemies of mankind have filled to overflowing with gall
and wormwood the Church, which is the Bride of the Lamb without spot; they have laid
profane hands upon her most sacred treasures. Make haste, therefore, O invincible Prince,
to help the people of God against the inroads of the lost spirits and grant us the victory.
Amen. (indulg. By Leo XIII, 25 Sep. 1888]
