Entrustment of Oneself to the Protection of Saint Michael

O'Most noble prince of the angelic heirarchies,

valorous warrior of Almighty God,

and zealous lover of His glory,

terror of the rebellious angels,

and love and delight of all the just ones,

my beloved Archangel Saint Michael,

desiring to be numbered among your devoted servants,

I, today, offer and consecrate myself to you,

and place myself under your most powerful protection.

I entreat you not to look at how little L, your servant have to offer,

being only a wretched sinner, but to gaze, rather,

with favorable eye at the heartfelt affection

with which this offering is made,

and remember that if from this day onward

I am under your patronage, 

you must during all my life assist me,

and procure for me the pardon of my grievious offenses and sins,

the grace to love with all my heart my God, my dear Savior Jesus,

and my sweet mother Mary,

and obtain for me my petition that I now bring to you

(pause and mention your intention).

I also ask all the help necessary to arrive at my crown of glory.

Defend me always from spiritual enemies,

particularly in the last moments of my life.

Come then O'Glorious Prince and succour me in my last struggle,

and with your powerful weapon cast far from me

into the infernal abyss that prevaricator and proud angel

that you had once prostrated in the celestial battle.

Amen.
