Prayer: God, almighty and eternal, who, by a prodigy of goodness and mercy for the salvation of men, chose the most glorious Archangel Saint Michael to be the prince of Your Church, make us worthy, we ask You, to be preserved from all our enemies, so that at the hour of our death none of them may disturb us, but that it may be given to us to be introduced by him into the presence of Your powerful and august Majesty, through the merits of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Consecration: O most noble Prince of Angels, valiant warrior of the Most High, zealous defender of the glory of the Lord, terror of rebellious spirits, love and delight of all righteous Angels, my dearest Archangel Saint Michael, desiring that I be part of the number of your devotees and servants, to you today I consecrate myself, I give and offer myself and place myself, my family and everything that belongs to me, under your most powerful protection. The offer of my service is small, being as I am a miserable sinner, but you will increase the affection of my heart; remember that from now on I am under your support and you must assist me throughout my life and obtain for me the forgiveness of my many and serious sins, the grace to love God with all my heart, my dear Savior Jesus Christ and my Mother Mary Most Holy, obtain for me those aids that are necessary for me to obtain the crown of eternal glory. Defend myself from the enemies of the soul, especially at the time of death. Come, O glorious Prince, to assist me in the last fight and with your powerful weapon cast far away, precipitating into the abysses of hell, that proud and promise-breaking angel that one day you prostrated in the fight in Heaven.
Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in the fight so that we do not perish in the supreme judgment.
Amen
