Saint Michael the Archangel
Chaplet
One day, Saint Michael the Archangel
appeared to Antonia d'Astonac, a
most devout Servant of God and told
her that he wished to be honored by
nine salutations corresponding to
the nine Choirs of Angels, which
should consist of one Our Father and
three Hail Mary’s in honor of each
of the Angelic Choirs.
Feast Day - September 29th
Promises of St. Michael
"Whoever would practice this
devotion in his honor would have,
when approaching the Holy Table, an
escort of nine angels chosen from
each of the nine Choirs. In
addition, for the daily recital of
these nine salutations, he promised
his continual assistance and that
all the holy angels during life, and
after death deliverance from
Purgatory for themselves and all
their relations."
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the
Holy Spirit, Amen.
