“The weapons we fight with are
not weapons of the world…”
~ 2 Corinthians 10:4
This prayer is unique to the Cohort of St. Michael the Archangel and is for private use only. Composed with the intent of focusing our collective prayers towards important segments of our world attacked by evil, it has the support of our priest-advisors.
The Cohort Chaplet is prayed using the standard Rosary beads (optional) and may be recited in addition to, or in substitute of, our prescribed Daily Prayers.
When praying this chaplet, Cohort Members take turns reading each Battle narrative aloud then recite the accompanying prayers (the quotes included below are only intended for personal reflection purposes and are not read aloud). Scroll down to the very bottom of this page to listen to and view a video presentation of the Cohort Chaplet.
+ Sign of the Cross
R) Who is enthroned on high
+ St. Michael Prayer
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and, do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
+ The FIRST BATTLE – We pray to combat and defeat the forces of evil attacking the Catholic Church:
"... through some crack, the smoke of
Satan has entered the Church of God."
~ Pope St. Paul VI (d. 1978)
St. Michael the Archangel, we beseech your aid, along with the other holy angels, against the wicked spirits fiercely assaulting the Church, even infiltrating it to corrupt its members, especially our clergy and other consecrated men and women - demons spawning irreverence, sacrilege, heresy, dissension, and falling away from the True Faith. Repel their attacks against the Church and cast them back into the pits of hell from whence they came. Amen.
[after each of the five “Battles” add an
Our Father, a Hail Mary, and a Glory Be]
+ The SECOND BATTLE – We pray to combat and defeat the forces of evil infiltrating and influencing different levels of world governments, especially within our own country:
"But mark this: There will be terrible
times in the last days. People will be lovers
of themselves, lovers of money..."
~ 2 Timothy 3:1-2
St. Michael the Archangel, we beseech your aid, along with the other holy angels, against the wicked spirits working within domestic and foreign governments to corrupt their leaders and citizens; inciting immorality, injustice, unrest, wars, and the passing of laws directly opposed to the Will of God. Break their influence on governing officials and cast them back into the pits of hell from whence they came. Amen.
+ The THIRD BATTLE – We pray to combat and defeat the forces of evil working through various satanic, occult, and new age beliefs and practices:
"Moreover, many more people are
practicing witchcraft, Wicca, ouija boards
and other occult practices, which open
the door to the demonic."
- Monsignor Stephen Rossetti,
American Priest & Exorcist
St. Michael the Archangel, we beseech your aid, along with the other holy angels, against the wicked spirits operating through satanic churches, occult and new age sects, and diabolic secret societies. Break the power exercised by their followers and render their collective rituals, spells, and curses ineffective. Bind the demons behind their malefices and cast them back into the pits of hell from whence they came. Amen.
+ The FOURTH BATTLE – We pray to combat and defeat the forces of evil diabolically infecting and corrupting our general society:
"The world is rebellious against
God; it commits too many sins. It has
neither love nor peace."
~ Message of Our Lady at Kibeho
St. Michael the Archangel, we beseech your aid, along with the other holy angels, against the wicked spirits working to mislead, ruin, and destroy all mankind; fueling hate, anger, addictions, murder, self-worship, false ideologies, rebellion against God, and the persecution of Christians. Guide all sinners to conversion and cast these demons back into the pits of hell from whence they came. Amen.
+ The FIFTH BATTLE – We pray to combat and defeat the forces of evil attacking us, personally, and our families:
"The final battle between the
Lord and the kingdom of Satan will be
about Marriage and the Family."
~ Sr. Lucia of Fatima (d. 2005)
St. Michael the Archangel, we beseech your aid, along with the other holy angels, against the wicked spirits who seek to harm us and our family members. Dismantle any footholds they have in our lives and, through the omnipotent power of God, break generational sins and curses that bind us to evil; causing afflictions of every sort. Instill in us deeper faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord, and safeguard us against every attack of the devil and his infernal army - cast them back into the pits of hell from whence they came. Amen.
