Opening Prayer St. 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 divine power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits, who roam about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
