St. Michael Prayer

Saint Michael the 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 hosts,

by the power of God,

cast into hell Satan,

and all the evil spirits,

who prowl about the world

seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly Armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our battle against prin­ci­pal­i­ties and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.

Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil.

Holy Church venerates you as her guardian and protector; to you, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into heaven. Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church.

Offer our prayers to the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us; take hold of the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit so that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.

O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Your holy Name, and humbly implore Your clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious Archangel Saint Michael, You would deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.
