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 Heavenly Host, by the Power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
