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
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.
