You who killed my brothers and all who take your side.
This be your last hour, let your strength be tried.
Now turn to face me upon this lifeless planet.
Drink the wine of my anger.
Kill me…if you can!
(Joey de Maio)

Holy Mary, Queen of the Angels, pray for us.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Most glorious attendant of the Triune Divinity,
*Pray for us is repeated after each invocation
Standing at the right of the Altar of Incense,
Ambassador of Paradise,
Glorious Prince of the heavenly armies,
Leader of the angelic hosts,
Warrior who thrust Satan into Hell,
Defender against the wickedness and snares of the devil,
Standard-bearer of God’s armies,
Defender of divine glory,
First defender of the Kingship of Christ,
Strength of God,
Invincible prince and warrior,
Angel of peace,
Guardian of the Christian Faith,
Guardian of the Legion of Saint Michael,
Champion of God’s people,
Champion of the Legion of Saint Michael,
Guardian angel of the Eucharist,
Defender of the Church,
Defender of the Legion of Saint Michael,
Protector of the Sovereign Pontiff,
Protector of the Legion of Saint Michael,
Angel of Catholic Action,
Powerful intercessor of Christians,
Bravest defender of those who hope in God,
Guardian of our souls and bodies,
Healer of the sick,
Help of those in their agony,
Consoler of the souls in Purgatory,
God’s messenger for the souls of the just,
Terror of the evil spirits,
Victorious in battle against evil,
Guardian and Patron of the Universal Church
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world,
Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world,
Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world,
Have mercy on us.
Pray for us, O glorious Saint Michael,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let Us Pray
Sanctify us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, with Thy holy blessing, and grant us, by the
intercession of St. Michael, that wisdom which teaches us to lay up treasures in Heaven by
exchanging the goods of this world for those of eternity, Thou Who lives and reigns, world
without end. Amen.
Relying, O Lord, upon the intercession of Thy blessed Archangel Michael, we humbly beg of
Thee, that the Holy Eucharist in whose presence we kneel, may make our soul holy and pleasing to
Thee. Through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
