Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

This prayer was composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1884. Saint Pope John Paul II even recommended its use to help in the battle against the forces of darkness as the Letter to the Ephesians speaks of “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.”

For the protection of the Universal Church and our own Parish, we continue to pray the prayer until the day of the groundbreaking ceremony of our new building and we pray this prayer at the conclusion of all Masses.

English

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense 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, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

 Spanish

San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestro amparo contra las perversidades y asechanzas del demonio. Reprímele Dios, pedimos suplicantes, y Tú príncipe de la milicia celestial arroja al infierno con el divino poder a Satanás y a los otros espíritus malignos que andan dispersos por el mundo para la perdición de las almas. Amén.

 Vietnamese

Lạy ơn Tổng Lãnh Thiên Thần Micae, xin giúp chúng con trong cơn giao chiến, đánh phá sự hiểm ác mưu sâu quỷ dữ. Chúng con sấp mình nguyện xin Chúa chế trị nó, cùng xin Nguyên soái cơ binh trên trời lấy quyền phép Chúa mà hạ Satan cùng các quỷ dữ, đang rong ruổi khắp thế gian làm hại các linh hồn, bắt chúng giam cầm trong hỏa ngục. Amen.
