In the 1750s, Saint Michael the Archangel appeared to Servant of God Antonia d’Astonac, a Portuguese Carmelite nun. In one of these visions, he taught her this chaplet of nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels.

St Michael the Archangel defeating demonsSaint Michael promised that those who faithfully recite this chaplet will receive his constant spiritual assistance as well as that of angels from all nine choirs. It will defeat any demonic influence throughout the family. It will gradually increase in us a pure heart, and when said before Holy Mass, we’ll have an escort of nine angels at the time of communion — one from each of the nine Choirs of Angels .

This chaplet was approved by Pope Pius IX in 1851.

The Chaplet of St. Michael

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

O God, come to my assistance.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father ….

Say one Our Father and three Hail Marys after each of the following nine salutations in honor of the nine Choirs of Angels:

Concluding prayers:

O glorious prince St. Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Pray for us, O glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises.

Almighty and Everlasting God, Who, by a prodigy of goodness and a merciful desire for the salvation of all men, has appointed the most glorious Archangel St. Michael Prince of Your Church, make us worthy, we ask You, to be delivered from all our enemies, that none of them may harass us at the hour of death, but that we may be conducted by him into Your Presence. This we ask through the merits of Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Amen.
