19 of 33 Day Consecration to St. Michael

Day 19
Begginers Prayer
Having made the Sign of the Cross and 
kneeling preferably before the 
Blessed Sacrament or the image of 
Saint Michael the Archangel, 
raising your heart to God, who is present, 
and bowing deeply in spirit, 
you will say every day:
Act of Contrition
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, 
I am heartily sorry for having 
offended You; I firmly resolve never to sin again, 
to abstain from all occasions 
of sin, to go to confession and do penance. 
I offer You, Lord, my life, works, 
and labors in satisfaction for all my sins. 
Amen.
Daily Prayer:
Lord God of heaven and earth, God of Angels, 
Archangels, and Principalities; God of Powers, 
Virtues, and Dominions; God of Thrones, 
Cherubim, and Seraphim; 
who ceaselessly praise and bless 
Your Holy Name and fulfill the commands of
Your sovereign Majesty, surrounding 
Your exalted Throne, and offering You, 
as a sweet-smelling aroma, 
the incense of our prayers, 
which we now address to You, 
we humbly beg You to accept.
We beseech You, 
through the glory and intercession 
of the glorious Saint Michael, 
that You deign to grant us Your assistance, 
and keep us safe from the snares, 
deceits, and power of Satan and 
all infernal spirits.
May God arise, and may His enemies
be destroyed through Jesus Christ, 
Our Lord. Amen.
Day 19
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL SUPPORTS
THE SOULS IN PURGATORY
Let us consider it a dogma of our Holy Religion 
that there is a place where those who die in grace, 
without having fully satisfied their sins, must purify 
themselves and pay every last cent of their debts, 
and cannot enter Paradise until they have purged 
all their sins.
The torments of that place are unspeakable, for 
according to Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas,
the smallest torment of Purgatory surpasses and
surpasses all that can be suffered in this world.
Therefore, the desire to experience some relief, 
some consolation, in the midst of so many torments 
must be very keen. For this relief and consolation will 
be provided by Saint Michael the Archangel, for this 
loving protector will not forget his devotees, but will 
be eager to present to God the suffrages offered for 
them, and will console them, since he is charged with
performing this task for the souls in Purgatory. In his 
Office, we read that God has entrusted all the souls 
who are saved to him to lead them to Paradise.
At the Mass for the Dead, the Church prays to the
Holy Archangel to present to God in the place of 
holy light the souls of those who have died. Filled 
with tender concern for the good souls entrusted 
and recommended to him, he does not fail to assist
and help them, providing them with much relief from
the pains of Purgatory. If in this world he comforts 
those who are afflicted and devoted to him, he will
comfort those poor souls, tormented beyond measure.
It must be extremely pleasing to the Holy Archangel 
that his devotees dedicate themselves to prayers, 
suffrages, and good works for the souls in Purgatory,
so that he may present them to the Lord and lead 
them as quickly as possible to the holy light that 
God promised to Abraham and his descendants.
Example
Jaime Massi tells us that one day a priest was 
recommending some souls, pronouncing the words 
of the Mass: "May the Prince of Angels, Saint Michael, 
lead them into the place of holy light," and at that very 
moment he saw the glorious Archangel descend from 
Heaven to Purgatory to free them. The same author 
adds that a monk from Cîteaux, after his death, 
appeared to a friend of his, a priest, and told
him that he was still in Purgatory, but that he 
would be released from there if he commended him
to Saint Michael during Mass. The priest did as he 
wished, and he saw, and others saw, the soul of his 
friend taken to Heaven by the Holy Archangel, 
the heavenly consoler of Purgatory.
Final Prayer for Every Day
O God, our refuge and strength! 
We supplicantly implore your mercy, 
so that through the intercession of the ever-
Immaculate Virgin and our Mother, Mary, 
and of the glorious Saint Michael the Archangel, 
you may deign to help us against Satan and all other 
unclean spirits who infest the world for the 
harm of mankind and the ruin of souls.
Cast them into the abyss and remove them 
from us forever. Amen.
