The Chaplet of St. Michael

Since Sept. 29th is the feast of the Archangels, I wanted to pass along a powerful prayer: the St. Michael Chaplet.  This is a prayer similar to the Rosary with certain repeated prayers over and over, divided into 9 groupings: one for each group of angels in heaven!  You can even find beads like a Rosary set up specifically for this prayer!  I hope that it is a fruitful prayer for you and your families as we celebrate the great angels of heaven.

Concluding prayers:

4 Our Fathers, one each for St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, and our Guardian Angel

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael Prince of Your Church, make us worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into Your Presence. This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
