St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our safeguard
against the wiles and wickedness
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 about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
O Holy Virgin,
in the midst of all your glory,
we ask you not to forget
the sorrows of this world.
Cast a look of pity upon all
who struggle against life’s difficulties,
and who cease not to feel all its bitterness.
Have pity on all who have been
separated from those they love.
Have pity on the lonely and friendless.
Pardon the weakness of our faith.
have pity on those whom we love.
O Holy Mother,
show a mother’s compassion toward the sorrowful and those
who tremble under life’s afflictions.
Give them hope and peace.
Amen.
