O glorious St Michael the Archangel,
Prince of the heavenly hosts, mighty defender of God's children,
We come to you this day, full of faith and trust, to ask for your protection.
You who have been chosen by God to be the guardian and protector against the forces of evil,
We humbly implore you to defend us in the spiritual battle we wage every day.
Saint Michael, you who defeated the infernal dragon,
You who, by your light and your sword, sent the evil spirits back into the abyss,
We ask you to protect us from the temptations, doubts and fears that seek to draw us away from the divine light.
Be our shield against all the wiles of the Evil One, and grant us the strength to stand firm in faith, even in the face of trials.
O holy Michael, chief of the heavenly legions,
Watch over our souls and bodies, keep from us the evil spirits that seek to harm us.
By the power God has given you, enchain Satan and his demons, and cast them from us,
May their schemes be brought to naught, and may your presence be for us a refuge of peace and safety.
We entrust to you, O Archangel of Light,
Our families, friends, loved ones and all who suffer, that they may be protected under your wings.
Be a bulwark against physical and spiritual dangers,
And grant us the wisdom to recognise temptations and the strength to repel them through prayer and faith.
O holy Michael, you who watch over the Church and the people of God,
We ask you to protect our communities, our homes and our hearts.
May your light shine in the darkness and may your sword of justice be a constant reminder of God's victory over evil.
Guide us in our decisions, help us always to walk in truth and never to turn from the path of righteousness.
Saint Michael, glorious Archangel,
You who intercede before the throne of God,
ask the Lord to grant us His mercy and to envelop us in His love.
Pray for us, that we may always be faithful to our mission on this earth, and that one day we may join the great army of heaven, to praise God forever.
We thank you, Saint Michael, for your constant protection,
For your strength, your light, and your courage that you share with us.
Always be at our side, now and at the hour of our passage into eternity.
O Archangel of God,
Protect us in our sleep, guard us in our travels, and be our guide throughout our lives.
Through your prayer, may we be strengthened in our faith, filled with the peace of the Lord,
And saved from the snares of the enemy.
We pray to you with confidence, O St Michael the Archangel,
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.
This prayer invokes St Michael the Archangel as defender against the forces of evil, protector of souls and spiritual guide. It is designed to ask Saint Michael to watch over those who pray, as well as their loved ones, in order to obtain the strength to remain firm in the faith and to repel temptations and spiritual dangers.
