WE FLY TO THY PROTECTION
We
fly to Thy protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our petitions in
our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O
Glorious and Blessed Virgin.
PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the
devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of
God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world
for the ruin of souls. Amen.
