<poem>St. Michael the Archangel, 
defend us in battle; 
be our defense against the wickedness 
and snares of the devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; 
and do thou, 
O prince of the heavenly host, 
by the power of God, 
cast into hell Satan 
and all the evil spirits 
who prowl about the world, 
seeking the ruin of souls. 
Amen.

''Princeps militiae caelestis, 
''in virtute Dei, 
''in infernum detrude satanam 
''aliosque spiritus malignos, 
''qui ad perditionem animarum

* The prayer was composed by Pople Leo XIII in 1880 or 1884 after experiencing at the end of Mass a vision of demonic spirits descending upon Rome.
* the prayer is traditionally recited after Mass up to 1964, when Inter oecumenici removed it as an obligation.
