Holy Michael Archangel,
defend us in the day of battle,
be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God
thrust down to hell Satan and all wicked spirits,
who wander through the world
for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Latin – Oratio ad S. Michael Archangelum

Sancte Míchael Archángele,
defénde nos in proélio,
contra nequítiam et insídias diáboli
esto præsídium.
Imperet illi Deus, súpplices deprecámur:
tuque, princeps milítiæ cæléstis,
sátanam aliósque spíritus malígnos,
qui ad perditiónem animárum pervagántur in
mundo, divína virtúte,
in inférnum detrúde. Amen.
