Prayer to St. Michael
The Latin:
Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto presÌdium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecemur:
tuque, princeps militiae celestis,
Satanam aliusque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animorum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, In infernum detrude. Amen.
The English:
Saint Michael, 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 the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
[In the spirit of the day. The source of this and other prayers to the holy Archangels Raphael and Gabriel is here.]
