Saint Michael Prayer for Protection
Pope Leo XIII composed this prayer in 1886 and asked that it be recited after every Low Mass. It remains the most widely prayed prayer of protection in the Catholic tradition, invoked by name against spiritual attack.
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 the heavenly host, 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.
