Novena
[Say for nine (9) consecutive days]
Prayer to Our Lady, Queen of Angels
August Queen of Heaven, Sovereign Mistress of the Angels, Thou Who from the beginning
has received from God the power and mission to crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech
Thee to send Thy Holy Legions that, under Thy command and Thy power, they may pursue the
evil spirits, encounter them on every side, resist their bold attacks and drive them hence
into the abyss of eternal woe.
Amen
Who Is Like Unto God! O good and tender Mother! Thou shalt ever be our love and our
hope.
Holy Angels and Archangels, keep us and defend us.
Amen
Prayers to Saint Michael
 Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against
the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do you, O
Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and the other
evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen
Glorious Saint Michael, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, who standest always ready to
give assistance to the faithful, who didst fight with the dragon, the old serpent and
didst cast him out of Heaven, and now valiantly defendest the Church of God that the gates
of hell shall not prevail against her, I earnestly entreat thee to assist us also against
the painful and dangerous conflict which we have to sustain against the same formidable
foe. Be with us, O mighty Prince, that we may courageously fight and wholly vanquish that
proud spirit whom thou hast by the Divine Power so gloriously overthrown and whom our
powerful King, Jesus Christ, has, in our nature, so completely overcome; so that having
triumphed over the enemy of our salvation, we may with thee and the Holy Angels praise God
Who has granted the possibility of repentance and forgiveness to fallen man.
Amen
