Only last week, we were introduced to the Chaplet of Holy Michael the Archangel. We have prayed it twice now and highly recommend it as a powerful spiritual work.Â
We were given this special set of beads to pray it on. Ordinary rosary beads can of course be used, but as each portion of the chaplet consists of an Our Father and three Hail Mary's, it is perhaps easier to get a set of dedicated beads. I noticed today that wooden sets are available from www.cenacle.co.uk for less than £6. If you wish to begin on your rosary beads, the prayers of the chaplet, which invoke the nine choirs of angels at each section, can be downloaded from EWTN's prayer page atÂ

With our times being so perilous, both spiritually and temporally, this is a good day to increase our use of the Holy Michael prayer of Pope Leo XIII; perhaps as a part of our period of thanksgiving after Holy Mass and when commencing the day, journeys, jobs, meetings, etc. Let us also renew our efforts by making fresh acts of the will to cooperate with God's Grace, avoid the occasions of sin, and open our hearts more to sincere prayer.
It is a great truth of our faith that we have the protection of God's good angels under the powerful leadership of Holy Michael and the Archangels. Let us invoke their help often,
Holy Michael the Archangel
defend us in this the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray
and do thou o' prince of the heavenly host,
thrust down to Hell, Satan and all the wicked spirits
who prowl through this world seeking the ruin of souls. AmenÂ
