The prayer of St. Michael the Archangel is a prayer that has been used by Catholics for centuries. The prayer is said to be effective in protecting against evil, and is often used by people who are facing difficult times or experiencing spiritual difficulties.

Saint Michael prayer in French
Archange Saint Michel,
défendez-nous dans le combat.
Soyez notre protection contre la méchanceté et les pièges du diable.
Que Dieu le censure, nous prions humblement
et que Toi, Prince de l’Armée céleste,
par la puissance divine de Dieu,
pousse en enfer Satan et tous les mauvais esprits
qui errent à travers le monde à la recherche de la ruine des âmes.
“Dieu choisit la France de préférence à toutes les nations de la terre pour la protection de la Foi Catholique; pour ce motif la France est le Royaume de Dieu même.Les ennemis de la France sont les ennemis du Christ… La tribu de Juda est la figure anticipée du Royaume de France… Le Rédempteur a choisi le béni Royaume de France comme l’ exécuteur spécial de ses divines volontés.” Lettre de Grégoire IX à Saint Louis, Roi et confessuer
La Prière des Francs
“Dieu Tout-Puissant et éternel,
Qui avez établi l’empire des Francs pour être dans le monde
L’instrument de votre divine volonté,
Le glaive et le bouclier de votre sainte Eglise,
Nous vous en prions, prévenez toujours et partout de votre céleste lumière,
Les fils suppliants des Francs,
Afin qu’ils voient ce qu’il faut faire pour réaliser votre règne en ce monde,
Et que pour accomplir ce qu’ils ont vu,Ils soient remplis de charité, de force et de persévérance.
Par Jésus-Christ Notre-Seigneur, Amen”

Salve Regina
Salut, Ô Reine, Mère de miséricorde, notre vie, notre consolation, notre espoir, salut!Enfants d’Eve, de cette terre d’exil nous crions vers vous; vers vous nous soupirons, gémissant et pleurant dans cette vallée de larmes. O vous, notre Avocate, tournez vers nous vos regards compatissants. Et après cet exil, obtenez-nous de contempler Jésus, le fruit de vos entrailles, Ô clémente, Ô miséricordieuse, Ô douce Vierge Marie
Nicene Creed
I believe in God, the Father, the Almighty,maker of heaven and earth,and all that is seen and unseen.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary,and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose againin fulfilment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,and the life of the world to come.
Amen
Prayer of Saint Richard
Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,
For all the benefits Thou hast won for me,
For all the pains and insults Thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer, Friend, and Brother,
May I know Thee more clearly,
Love Thee more dearly,
And follow Thee more nearly:
For ever and ever.

Saint Michel Archange, Saint Michael the Archangel.
The Sacred Scriptures have revealed the proper names of only three Angels, all of whom belong to the Choir of the Archangels. The names are well known to all, namely: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael. Ancient apocryphal literature of the Old Testament contains several other names of Archangels in addition to the three just mentioned. Like the sources themselves, these other names are spurious. Names like Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and Jeremiel are not found in the canonical books of Sacred Scripture, but in the apocryphal book of Enoch, fourth book of Esdras, and in rabbinical literature. The Church does not permit proper names of Angels that are not found in the canonical books of the Bible.
Today is the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel, and my oldest daughter, Michelle-Renee’s patron. Here is his prayer, first in French, then Latin and finally in English.
In the liturgy of the Mass, Saint Michael is regarded as the Angel who leads the souls of the faithful departed to heaven: “Deliver them from the lion’s mouth, that hell engulf them not, that they fall not into darkness; but let Michael, the holy standard-bearer, bring them into the holy light.” (The Mass for the Dead, Offertory. )
Saint Michael is invoked in a particular manner in the prayers recited at the foot of the altar after Mass: “Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, etc.” This particular prayer is a condensed form of the general exorcism against Satan and all the evil spirits, published by Pope Leo XIII.
Saint Michel Archange, défendez-nous dans le combat: soyez notre soutien contre la perfidie et les embûches du démon-
Que Dieu réprime son audace ! telle est notre humble prière.
Et vous, Prince de la milice céleste, par la vertu divine, refoulez en enfer Satan et les autres esprits mauvais, qui sont répandus dans le monde pour perdre les âmes.
Ainsi soit-il.
Sancte Michaël Archangele, defénde nos in praelio, contra nequitam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.-
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelistis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in inférnum detrude.
Amen.
Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And you, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.
About the above prayer to St Michael…
Composed over 100 years ago, and then suppressed due to its startling content, Pope Leo XIII’s original Prayer to St. Michael is one of the most interesting and controversial prayers relating to the present situation in which the true Catholic Church finds itself. On September 25, 1888, following his morning Mass, Pope Leo XIII became traumatized to the point that he collapsed. Those in attendance thought that he was dead. After coming to consciousness, the Pope described a frightful conversation that he had heard coming from near the tabernacle. The conversation consisted of two voices – voices which Pope Leo XIII clearly understood to be the voices of Jesus Christ and the devil. The devil boasted that he could destroy the Church, if he were granted 75 years to carry out his plan (or 100 years, according to some accounts). The devil also asked permission for “a greater influence over those who will give themselves to my service.” To the devil’s requests, Our Lord reportedly replied: “you will be given the time and the power.”
Shaken deeply by what he had heard, Pope Leo XIII composed the original Prayer to St. Michael (which is also a prophecy) and ordered it to be recited after all Low Masses as a protection for the Church against the attacks from Hel
