OPENING PRAYERS

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense 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,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael 

  (in Latin)

Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde nos in proélio,
cóntra nequítiam et insídias diáboli ésto præsídium.
Ímperet ílli Déus, súpplices deprecámur:
tuque, prínceps milítiæ cæléstis,
Sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos,
qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in múndo,
divína virtúte, in inférnum detrúde. Ámen.

Lord Jesus Christ, in your love and mercy, pour Thy

Precious Blood over N. so that no demon or disembodied

spirit may retaliate against him (her). Mary, surround

him (her) with thy mantle, blocking any retaliating spirits

from having any authority over him (her). St. Michael,

surround him (her) with thy shield, so that no evil spirit

may take revenge on him (her). Queen of Heaven and St.

Michael, send down the legions of angels under your

command to fight off any spirits that would seek to harm

him (her). All you saints of heaven, impede any

retaliating spirit from influencing him (her). Lord, Thou

art the Just Judge, the avenger of the wicked, the

Advocate of the Just, we beg in Thy mercy, that all we ask

of Mary, the angels and the saints of heaven be also

granted to all our loved ones, those who prayer for us and

their loved ones, that for Thy Glory’s sake, we may enjoy

Thy perfect protection. Amen.

I; (Name), a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy

hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan,

his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus

Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after

Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to

Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all

the heavenly court, I choose thee, O Mary, this day for my

Mother and Mistress. Knowing that I have received rights

over all my exterior goods by the promulgation of the

Natural Law by the Divine Author, I deliver and

consecrate to thee, as thy slave, all of my exterior goods,

past, present and future; I relinquish into thy hands, my

Heavenly Mother, all rights over my exterior goods,

including my health, finances, relationships, possessions,

property, my job and my earthly success (add the 

Mission: St. Michael apostolate, and any exterior

good being oppressed) and I retain for myself no right of

disposing of the goods that come to me, but leave to thee the

entire and full right of disposing of all that belongs to me,

without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the

greater glory of God in time and in eternity. As I now

interiorly relinquish what belongs to me exteriorly into

thy hands, I entrust to thee the protection of those

exterior goods against the evil one, so that, knowing that

they now belong to thee, he cannot touch them. Receive,

O good and pious Virgin, this little offering of what little

is, in honor of, and in union with, that subjection which

the Eternal Wisdom deigned to have to thy maternity; in

homage to the power which both of you have over this

poor sinner, and in thanksgiving for the privileges with

which the Holy Trinity has favored thee. Trusting in the

providential care of God the Father and thy maternal

care, I have full confidence that thou wilst take care of

me as to the necessities of this life and will not leave me

forsaken. God the Father, increase my trust in Thy Son’s

Mother; Our Lady of Fair Love, give me perfect

confidence in the providence of Thy Son. Amen.
