Prayer to Saint Archangel Michael

Glorious Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, holy Archangel Michael! By the mighty power and grace given to you by the Almighty, defend us in our battle “against the principalities, against the powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of malice in the heavenly realms”. Come to the aid of those whom God created in His image, and whom He redeemed at an incomparably great price from the slavery of the devil.

The Holy Church of Christ honors you as its divine guardian and protector. The Lord has entrusted to you the souls that have been redeemed, that you may lead them to Heaven. Therefore I pray that the God of Peace may crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer be able to hold people in captivity or harm the Church. We offer our prayers to the Highest, that they may without delay bring His mercy upon us. Seize the dragon, “the ancient serpent, who is also the devil and Satan”, bind him and cast him into the bottomless abyss, “that he may no longer lead nations astray”. Amen.
