Yes…safeguard. And prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
 
This version.Actually I didn’t know there was another version
 
We say it before Father gives the final blessing at the end of Mass.Started it a year or so ago.Maybe at the discretion of the Archbishops as all Denver area parishes have adopted this practice.
 
At my parish we say:
Saint 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, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
 
It used to be said at all churches but was removed/made optional in recent years. It was introduced by Pope Leo if I remember correctly after he heard a conversation between Jesus and the Devil. I think it was in 1884.
 
We don’t say it at our parish but the version we pray at home during family prayer is:

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and may 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.
