The Prayer to Saint Michael is a prayer , used mainly by Catholics , which is addressed toMichael the archangel .

Pope Leo XIII added it in 1886 [1] to the Leonine Prayers , which he had directed to be saidafter Low Mass two years earlier [2]. The practice of reciting these prayers after Mass wassuppressed in 1964. However, Pope John Paul II referred to the St Michael prayer in his

Regina Coeli address of 24 April 1994 as follows:

"May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle that the Letter to the Ephesians speaks of:'Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might' ( Ephesians 6:10 ). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St Michael the

Archangel (cf. Revelation 12:7 ). Pope Leo XIII certainly had this picture in mind when, at theend of the last century, he brought in, throughout the Church, a special prayer to St Michael :'Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickednessand snares of the devil...' Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against the forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world." [3]

This prayer, whose opening words are similar to the Alleluia verse for Saint Michael s feastson 8 May and 29 September in the Roman Missal of the time (which ran, "Sancte Michael,defende nos in proelio ut non pereamus in tremendo iudicio"), was added in 1886 to theLeonine Prayers that in 1884 Pope Leo XIII ordered to be said after Low Mass, for theintention of obtaining a satisfactory solution to the problem that the loss of the Pope's

temporal sovereignty caused in depriving him of the evident independence required for effective use of his spiritual authority. [2]

This problem was resolved in 1929 by the creation of the State of Vatican City , and in thefollowing year, Pope Pius XI ordered that the intention for which these prayers should fromthen on be offered was "to permit tranquillity and freedom to profess the faith to be restoredto the afflicted people of Russia". [6]

The Leonine Prayers were officially suppressed by the 26 September 1964 Instruction Inter Oecumenici, 48 j which came into effect on 7 March 1965. [7]

The opening words of the prayer ("St. Michael, defend us in battle") are often prayedindependently. This is not a fragmented version, but rather an example of the short prayer form known as an aspiration or invocation. [citation needed ]

On 18 May 1890, twenty years after the Capture of Rome had deprived the Pope of the lastvestige of his temporal sovereignty, and the papal residence at the Quirinal Palace had beenconverted into that of the King of Italy , a much longer prayer to St. Michael, quite distinctfrom that in the Leonine Prayers, was approved for use:

O glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, defend us in battle, and in the struggle which is ours against the principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world

of darkness, against spirits of evil in high places ( Eph 6:12 ). Come to the aid of men, whomGod created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price

from the tyranny of the devil ( Wis 2:23-24 , 1 Cor 6:20 ).

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast

fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless toresist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. But that cruel, that ancient

serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into theabyss with all his angels ( Rev 12:7-9 ).

Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of man has taken courage, Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of his Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal

perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as amost impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the

spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every viceand iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the Immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions.

In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, withthe iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.

Arise then, O invincible prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the peopleof God, and bring them the victory.

The Church venerates thee as protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious powers of this world and of hell; to thee has God entrusted the

souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude.

Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that hemay no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the

sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make

him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations.

This prayer was replaced in 1902, a year and a half before the death of Pope Leo XIII, by amuch shortened prayer:

O glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, defend us in battle, and in the struggle which is ours against the principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against spirits of evil in high places ( Eph 6:12 ). Come to the aid of men, whomGod created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price

from the tyranny of the devil ( Wis 2:23-24 , 1 Cor 6:20 ).

The Church venerates thee as protector and patron; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude.

In 1890, the longer form of this prayer was included as a sort of preface to a series of prayersof exorcism that was included in the Roman Ritual. [8]

[edit ] Speculation about the origin of the prayers

Statue of Archangel Michael slaying Satan represented as a dragon. Quis ut Deus? isinscribed on his shield.

An article in the Roman journal Ephemerides Liturgicae (V. LXIX, pages 5460) in 1955gave an account in Latin and Italian of how the St. Michael prayer developed. Footnote nine

of this account quotes an article in another Italian journal called La Settimana del Clero in1947 by Fr. Domenico Pechenino who worked at the Vatican during the time of Leo XIII, inwhich he stated:

"I do not remember the exact year. One morning the great Pope Leo XIII hadcelebrated a Mass and, as usual, was attending a Mass of thanksgiving. Suddenly, wesaw him raise his head and stare at something above the celebrant's head. He wasstaring motionlessly, without batting an eye. His expression was one of horror andawe; the colour and look on his face changing rapidly. Something unusual and gravewas happening in him."Finally, as though coming to his senses, he lightly but firmly tapped his hand and

rose to his feet. He headed for his private office. His retinue followed anxiously andsolicitously, whispering: 'Holy Father, are you not feeling well? Do you need

anything?' He answered: 'Nothing, nothing.' About half an hour later, he called for theSecretary of the Congregation of Rites and, handing him a sheet of paper, requestedthat it be printed and sent to all the ordinaries around the world. What was that paper?It was the prayer that we recite with the people at the end of every Mass. It is the pleato Mary and the passionate request to the Prince of the heavenly host , (St. Michael:

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle) beseeching God to send Satan back to hell ."

According to the same article in Ephemerides Liturgicae ,[9] Cardinal Giovanni Nasalli Roccadi Corneliano wrote in his Litteris Pastoralibus pro Quadragesima (Pastoral Letters for Lent)that "the sentence 'The evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls' has ahistorical explanation that was many times repeated by his private secretary, Monsignor Rinaldo Angeli. Leo XIII truly saw, in a vision, demonic spirits who were congregating on theEternal City (Rome). The prayer that he asked all the Church to recite was the fruit of thatexperience. He would recite that prayer with strong, powerful voice: we heard it many a timein the Vatican Basilica. Leo XIII also personally wrote an exorcism that is included in theRoman Ritual. He recommended that bishops and priests read these exorcisms often in their dioceses and parishes . He himself would recite them often throughout the day." [10]

In the late twentieth century, more vivid stories circulated among traditionalist Catholics ,according to which in that century Satan would be particularly powerful. They recounted thatPope Leo XIII was climbing the steps to the altar when he suddenly stopped, stared fixedly atsomething in the air and with a terrible look on his face, collapsed to the floor (some accountssay he fell shrieking). The Pope was carried off by those around him to another room wherehe came around. As one rendition of the story tells it:

"When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of thealtar, he suddenly heard voices - two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh.They seemed to come from near the tabernacle . As he listened, he heard the followingconversation:

The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride , boasted to Our Lord: "I can destroyyour Church."The gentle voice of Our Lord: "You can? Then go ahead and do so."Satan: "To do so, I need more time and more power."Our Lord: "How much time? How much power?"Satan: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over

to my service."Our Lord: "You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what youwill." [11] [12][ 13]

A variant of the story of the vision of Leo XIII was given by Father William Saunders in the Arlington Catholic Herald of 2 October 2003: "Pope Leo XIII (d. 1903) had a propheticvision of the coming century of sorrow and war. After celebrating Mass, the Holy Father wasconferring with his cardinals. Suddenly, he fell to the floor. The cardinals immediately calledfor a doctor. No pulse was detected, and the Holy Father was feared dead. Just as suddenly,Pope Leo awoke and said, 'What a horrible picture I was permitted to see!' In this vision, Godgave Satan the choice of one century in which to do his worst work against the Church. The

devil chose the 20th century. So moved was the Holy Father from this vision that hecomposed the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. [14]

The first variant of the story to appear in print was that in a 1933 German Sunday newspaper article, which stated that, as a result of the vision, Leo XIII, shortly after 1880, ordered the

prayer to Saint Michael to be recited. In reality, it was only in 1884 that the Pope institutedthe Leonine Prayers, still at that time without the prayer to Saint Michael. [15]

In 1934, a year after the appearance of the earliest printed version of the story, a Germanwriter, Father Bers, tried to trace the origin of the story and declared that, though the storywas widespread, nowhere could he find a trace of proof. Sources close to the institution of the

prayer in 1886, including an account of a conversation with Pope Leo XIII about his decision,say nothing of the alleged vision. Father Bers concluded that the story was a later inventionthat was spreading like a virus .[16]

The story is also found in Carl Vogl's 1935 Begone Satan: A Soul-Stirring Account of Diabolical Possession in Iowa [17]

In a later version the vision is said to have occurred on 13 October 1884, [18] the year in whichthe Leonine Prayers were instituted without the prayer to Saint Michael. And yet another date,25 September 1888, two years after Pope Leo XIII had added the prayer to the LeoninePrayers, was given in a 1991 version. [19]

[edit ] In film

In the 2010 movie "Brooklyn's Finest" Ethan Hawke recites the prayer whilst ascending anelevator in the dubious pursuit of robbing drug lords of their loot.
