11 of 33 Day Consecration to St. Michael

Day 11
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 11
SAINT MICHAEL HELPS US TO GET OUT OF SIN
Let us consider the great trust that the Holy Church has 
in Saint Michael, and therefore, she frequently begs him 
to always remember us and to pray for us to the Son of God. 
In the august sacrifice of our altars, at Holy Mass, and in the 
Divine Office, she reverently invokes him and asks for 
his help. The Church also teaches us that, to obtain 
the forgiveness of sins, we must first declare ourselves 
guilty before God, then before the Blessed and ever-Virgin 
Mary, and then before Saint Michael the Archangel. 
Then the same Church commands us to add: "Therefore, 
I pray to the ever-Virgin Mary, to the blessed Saint Michael 
the Archangel..." With these words, the Holy Archangel 
is especially prayed to help us regain the grace of God. 
We can have sweet confidence that he will do so, 
since he is ready to assist those who, having fallen, 
come to him imploring his help, teaching them the true path
they had abandoned. He, as Saint Sophronius, 
Patriarch of Jerusalem, says, is a guide to those who stray, 
and an encouragement to those who have fallen into sin 
to rise again, encouraging and moving them with healthy
inspirations to escape from the pitiful state in which they 
find themselves. He ardently loves our souls, as 
Saint Pantaleon the Deacon says, and when he sees them 
fallen into the abyss of sin and exposed to being cast into hell, 
he seeks by various means to lead them to penitence, 
which is the only way to return to the state of grace. 
Far, then, from continuing to be mired in sin, let us respond 
to the divine inspirations and the loving concern of 
Saint Michael, repenting of our sins and doing penance 
for them, thereby attaining grace and, later, glory.
Example
In The Little Flowers of Saint Francis, 
we read about the following story of 
Friar Peter of Monticello. 
Fasting with great devotion, 
this holy religious during the Lent of Saint Michael, 
on the last day of the same, the most glorious 
Archangel appeared to him and said: 
Friar Peter, you have faithfully tormented yourself for me, 
and in many ways you have afflicted your body; here I am.  
I have come to console you. Ask me for some grace, 
for I desire to obtain it for you from God.  
Friar Peter replied: Most Holy Prince of the Heavenly Host,  
I ask you to obtain for me the forgiveness of my sins. 
"Ask me for another grace," replied the Archangel, 
"for that will be very easy for me to obtain."  
Friar Peter did not dare to ask for more than the forgiveness
 of his sins. Then Saint Michael concluded: 
"Through the faith and devotion you have for me, 
I have obtained for you the grace you asked of me 
and many others."  Having said this, the Archangel 
disappeared, leaving Brother Pedro very comforted.

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.
