Too often we ignore the powerful resource of St. Michael and our own guardian angels. Sometimes we have to be touched like this and like doubting Thomas before we fully grasp.

After the Mass: Pardon any typos

The wording in the vernacular varies a bit depending on the source.

St. 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 cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The wording in Latin is constant: Pardon the lack of Latin accent marks.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur; tuque, Princeps militiae coelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionenm animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.
