    Powerful prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel (traditional)

    Saint Michael the Archangel,
    defend us in battle,
    Be our refuge from evil.
    and the snares of the devil.

    We beseech you, God, to command him.
    and you, Prince of the Heavenly Host,
    by divine virtue, cast Satan into hell
    and to other evil spirits
    who go through the world to destroy souls. Amen.
