Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel with Saint Padre Pio
O Glorious Saint Michael, guardian and defender of the Church of Jesus Christ, come to the assistance of His followers, against whom the powers of hell are unchained.
Guard with special care our Holy Father, the Pope, our bishops, priests, all our religious and lay people, and especially our children.
Saint Michael, watch over us during life, defend us against the assaults of the evil spirits and assist us especially at the hour of death.
Help us achieve the happiness of beholding God face to face for all eternity.
Amen.
(Prince of Angels - Handbook of Devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel, p.50)
