Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
Composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1886. Prayed after Low Mass in the Latin liturgy until 1964 and widely restored today.
Saint 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 host, 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.
