Let Us Pray. -

O God!

our refuge and our strength,

look down with favour on Thy people who cry to Thee;

and through the intercession of the glorious

and Immaculate Virgin Mary,

Mother of God,

of Saint Joseph her Spouse,

of Thy blessed Apostles Peter and Paul,

and of all the Saints,

in mercy and goodness

hear our prayers for the conversion of sinners,

and for the liberty and exaltation

of our holy Mother the Church.

Through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Holy Michael Archangel,

defend us in the hour of conflict;

be our safeguard against the wickedness

and snares of the devil. -

May God restrain him,

we humbly pray;

and do thou,

O Prince of the heavenly host,

by the power of God thrust Satan down to helel,

and with him the other wicked spirits,

who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

* Indulgence of 3 years. Plenary, on the usual conditions, if recited devoutly every day for a month. -
