Personal Consecration to Saint Michael

Glorious Saint Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, to whom God has given the power to vanquish the infernal enemies of our souls, and to rout the powers of darkness in every place where they conspire against us, thou art the invincible warrior of the Thrice-Holy God and the defender of His glory. Receive me now into thy care; take me under thy protection; deliver me from the snares of Satan. Open the path of repentance before my feet. Dispel the darkness that enshrouds my mind. Extinguish the flaming darts of temptation that fly at me from every side. By thy prayers, soften thou the hardness of my heart and obtain for me the gift of tears, that I may weep over the sins by which I have offended God and be restored to the joy of salvation. Saint Michael the Archangel, thou who shinest with heaven’s purest light, let something of thy brightness reach my soul even now, that shielded and guarded by thee in this valley of tears, I may join my voice to thine in the resounding cry of thy triumph over the Enemy of our souls-Who is like God!- and so give glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
