O most glorious St. Michael the Archangel, prince and leader of the heavenly armies, guardian and defender of souls, guardian of the Church, conqueror, terror and terror of the rebellious infernal spirits. We humbly beseech thee, deign to deliver from all evil those of us who have recourse to thee with confidence; may thy favor protect us, may thy strength defend us, and by thy incomparable protection may we advance more and more in the service of the Lord; may thy virtue strive us all the days of our life, especially in the trance of death, so that, defended by thy power from the infernal dragon and all his snares, when we depart from this world we may be presented by thee, free from all guilt, before the Divine Majesty. Amen.
