Begin by meditation on the Medal:
Incline unto my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL
FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE CHURCH
Composed by Pope Leo XIII
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our safeguard 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 through the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
In earlier days, this prayer was said at the end of Mass.
Considering the somewhat disheveled state of our Church,
and the sorrier, seemingly hopeless state of the USA,
it would perhaps behoove us to go back to remembering
St. Michael the Archangel in our prayers at the end of every Mass.
The ruin of souls seems to be rampant!
Let's PRAY the Chaplet of St. Michael!
