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 Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
'"May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle we are told about in the Letter to the Ephesians: 'Draw
strength from the Lord and from His mighty power' (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to
this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (Revelation 12:7). Pope
Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid recollection of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he
introduced a special prayer to St. Michael throughout the Church. Although this prayer is no longer
recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle
against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world."'
