Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel

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,
cast into hell Satan
and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.


Often recited at the end of the rosary, the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel is an invocation of protection against evil. At Lourdes, a place of spiritual combat and conversion, it takes on its full meaning.
