the Archangel, defend us in the day of Battle; Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl though the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

prayer of exorcism was composed by Pope Leo XIII; in a vision, he had been shown to fearful battle to be waged between
Satan and St. Michael, over the Church of the future. Now, as never before, the Church needs the intercession of St.
