Archangel Michael Chaplet



Act of Contrition

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven, and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend you, my God, who is all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.

Amen.

The prayer starts

O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me.  

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

Concluding prayer:

O glorious prince Archangel Michael, chief and commander of the Heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King, and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue, deliver us from all evil.  We turn to you with confidence.  Enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious Archangel Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of his promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God, who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel Michael Prince of your church, make us worthy, we ask you, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into your presence. This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.   

Amen.
