Prayer to Saint Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel,defend us in battle.Be our protection against the wickednessand 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 Satanand all the evil spiritswho prowl about the worldseeking the ruin of souls.Amen.

Composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1886. See Saint Michael the Archangel.

In Latin

Sancte Michael Archangele,defende nos in proelio,contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis,Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,divina virtute, in infernum detrude.Amen.
