Concluding prayer
O glorious prince Saint Michael, leader of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, conqueror of rebel spirits, servant in the house of God our King and our admirable guide, you who shine with the excellence of superhuman virtues: deliver from every evil us who turn to you with confidence, and by your protection enable us to serve God more faithfully every day.
Pray for us, O glorious Saint Michael, prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of his promises.
Almighty and eternal God, who in a marvel of goodness and in your merciful desire for the salvation of all people appointed the glorious archangel Saint Michael prince and leader of your Church, make us worthy, we pray, to be delivered from all our enemies, so that none of them may torment us at the hour of our death, but that this great saint may lead us into your presence. We ask this through the merits of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
