"Saint Michael the Archangel and our Guardian Angels come defend me and my family in battle against all the evil ones that roam the earth.  Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our hour of need.  Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snare of the devil.  May God restrain him, we humbly pray.  And to thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, cast Satan down to hell and with him all the wicked spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls."
