Saint Michael the Archangel – Shield us in battle; protect us against the wickedness and snares of the Evil Enemy

Saint Michael the Archangel from my grandfather's prayer book (Men in prayer).

Holy Archangel Michael, protect us in battle so that we do not perish in terrible judgment! Holy Archangel Michael, shield us in battle; protect us against the wickedness and snares of the Evil Enemy. May God command him, we beg. But you, prince of the heavenly hosts, want to cast down Satan and all other evil spirits, which go about the world destroying souls, into hell with the power of God. Amen.

Saint Michael, prince of the heavenly host; you invincible hero and faithful guardian of the church of God and all believers! You won a glorious victory over Satan. You have become the defender of the glory of God, the protector of all who honor God. Protect and defend our Holy Catholic Church! Preserve them from the persecution of their enemies, especially hate and all slander.

But also our poor soul come to the help! We are always surrounded by great dangers. Fight for us too against Satan, who fears you because you fight with divine weapons. Help us to brave our way through and stand by us when in our last hour the enemy fights for our souls. Amen.
