Closing prayers
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. Amen.
The Chaplet of St. Michael honors St. Michael the Archangel and the nine Choirs of Angels. It is made up of nine salutations, each followed by one Our Father and three Hail Marys.
In all, the chaplet has 13 Our Fathers and 27 Hail Marys.
God has created various choirs of angels; Sacred Scripture distinguishes nine: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Powers, Virtues, Principalities, Archangels and Angels (cf. Is. 6:2; Gen. 3:24; Col. 1:16; Eph. 1:21; Rom. 8:38).
St. Michael appeared to Antonia d’Astonac, a Portuguese Carmelite nun, and asked to be honored with nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. Blessed Pope Pius IX approved the chaplet in 1851. According to the account of her vision, St. Michael promised that those who practice this devotion would have an escort of an angel from each of the nine choirs when they approach Holy Communion. He also promised that those who pray it daily would have his continual help and that of the holy angels throughout life, and after death deliverance from Purgatory for themselves and their relatives.
Many people pray the chaplet daily. It is especially fitting on September 29, the Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels. See also our St. Michael the Archangel Prayer and Prayer to St. Raphael.
