Oh most Noble Prince of the Angelic Hierarchies

\nand love and delight of all the just ones,
\nmy beloved Archangel Saint Michael,
\ndesiring to be numbered among your devoted servants,
\nI, today offer and consecrate myself to you,
\nand place myself, my family,
\nand all I possess under your most powerful protection.<\/p>\n

I entreat you not to look at how little, I,
\nas your servant have to offer,
\nbeing only a wretched sinner,
\nbut to gaze, rather,
\nwith favorable evy at the heartfelt affection
\nwith which this offering is made,
\nand remember that if from this day onward
\nI am under your patronage,
\nyou must during all my life assist me,
\nand procure for me the pardon of my many grievous offenses, and sins,
\nthe grace to love with all my heart my God,
\nmy dear Saviour Jesus and my Sweet Mother Mary,
\nand obtain for me all the help necessary to arrive to my crown of glory.<\/p>\n

Defend me always from my spiritual enemies,
\nparticularly in the last moments of my life.<\/p>\n

Come then oh Glorious Prince and succour me in my last struggle,
\nand with your powerful weapon
\ncast far from me and into the infernal abysses that prevaricator and proud angel
\nthat one day you prostrated in the celestial battle.<\/p>\n

Saint Michael, defend us in our daily battle
\nso that we may not perish in the last Judgement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

St. Michael<\/strong> the Archangel, defend us in battle lest we perish in the judgment supreme. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
