Act of Consecration to Archangel St. Michael
Oh, most noble prince of the angelic hierarchies valorous warrior of Almighty God,
and zealous lover of His glory, terror of the rebellious angels, and love and delight
of all the just ones, my beloved Archangel Saint Michael, desiring to be numbered
among your devoted servants, I, today offer and consecrate myself to you, and place
myself, my family, and all I possess under your most powerful protection.
I entreat you not to look at how little, I, as your servant have to offer, being only
a wretched sinner, but to gaze, rather, with favorable eye at the heartfelt affection
with which this offering is made, and remember that if from this day onward
I am under your patronage, you must during all my life assist me, and procure
for me the pardon of my many grievous offenses, and sins, the grace to love
with all my heart my God, my dear Savior Jesus and my Sweet Mother Mary,
and obtain for me all the help necessary to arrive to my crown of glory.
Defend me always from my spiritual enemies, particularly in the last moments of my life.
Come then oh glorious prince and succor me in my last struggle, and with your
powerful weapon cast far from me into the infernal abysses that prevaricator
and proud angel that one day you prostrated in the celestial battle.
Saint Michael, defend us in our daily battle so that we may not perish in the last Judgment.
