    As the supposed "Pope" runs around the world proclaiming all religions are good, and with the obsessive daily heresy spewed officially or off-the-cuff by Mr. Jorge Bergoglio, we continue the Chair of Church Unity Octave Week. It is eight consecutive days from the Feast of the Chair of Peter through Friday's Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul in which we pray each day that all may be one, but not in the ecuMANIACal way of Vatican II and unFrancis and his CONciLIAR predecessors who try to foist on the faithful that the True Church of Christ merely "subsists in" the Church with other churches on a live and let live level, but rather in praying and wanting all to realize the errors of their way and convert to the True Faith practiced from Peter through Pius XII. Pray for the collapse of the CONciLIAR church and the restoration of the true Roman Catholic Church. What Jorge urges is the antithesis of Our Lord's ultimatum in Mark 16: 15-16.

    "Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.

   Jesus also reminds us in St. Luke 18: 8:

    But yet the Son of man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?

    It's not likely He will if the CONciLIAR church of Vatican 2 continues its course of deceiving and consigning souls to hell. Oh, satan is having a field day thanks to the greatest proof that the Chair is vacant: 'Pope' Francis. Remember Our Lady's words at Fatima, "In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph." I guarantee you it will not be through the current occupants of Rome, but through her divine Son's remnant Church now relegated to the catacombs all in God's time through divine intervention. While we need to wait that time out, we can't just go into a cocoon. No, we need to preach the true Faith to every creature we can, the man calling himself 'pope' be damned, we must shout the good news from the rooftops while reminding souls of the Last Four Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven or Hell. Below is the daily prayer during this week for true unity.

PRAYER  FOR   THE   CHURCH   UNITY   OCTAVE
(Official Octave Prayer)

ANTIPHON (from St. John 17: 21)
    "That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in Me and I in Thee; that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou has sent Me."

      V. I say unto thee that thou art Peter
      R. And upon this Rock I will build My Church.

    Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Who saidst unto Thine Apostles: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; regard not our sins, but the faith of Thy Church, and vouchsafe to grant unto Her that peace and unity which are agreeable to Thy Will. Who livest and reignest God forever and ever. Amen.

      An indulgence of 300 days during the octave of prayers for the unity of the Church, from the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter in Rome to the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. A Plenary Indulgence on the usual conditions at the end of the devout exercise.

    As the Church breaks out the green for the Second Sunday after Epiphany, this week is bookended by two great feasts of martyrs, Pope St. Fabian and St. Sebastian on Sunday and St. Polycarp, Bishop on Saturday. With the exception of St. Raymond of Penafort, where we commemorate the martyr St. Emerentiana, we have seven straight days of commemorating holy martyrs. So much blood has been spilt for the Faith we are calling all towards in this Church Unity Octave Week as it is the ONLY one worth laying life down for.

    This week when we commisserate the 46th anniversary of the abominable Roe vs. Wade decision that has claimed over 61 million souls in the United States (1.5 billion world-wide, it time to reinvigorate and reinforce what we must do: Speak out for the truth no matter the consequences because abortion is one of the four sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance. The hell with being politically correct, we need to be CC, Christ-correct. That means standing up for the sanctity of life and doing all we can physically and spiritually do to overturn Roe vs. Wade. We urge you to continue to pray the Rosary at home, if you cannot pray outside an abortuary, and trend on twitter with the hashtag #PrayToEndAbortion. Trend this on Tuesday on the anniversary, from 1 p.m. EST, noon in the Central Time Zone, 11 a.m. MST, and 10 in the morning for the Pacific Standard Time. What will it prove or result in? Who knows, but God will and that's all that counts.

UPDATE: There are reports that more than 100,000 (some say over 500,000) attended the March for Life! Praised be Jesus and Mary!

    We know from Sacred Scripture, the writings of the Fathers, Doctors, Saints, and Popes of what God says, but when we hear His voice again through the words of the Church-approved Revelations and Prophesies of St. Bridget of Sweden, we get a better perspective of why lukewarmness or just getting by won't help us at Judgement time. It's a reminder that we all had better toe the line and realize how Americanism and Modernism permeate our every waking hour and how much God despises these heresies. He tells the bride just how much, and reveals to her what He expects. Are we living up to His expectations? We better be. That's why we've resumed providing the chapters below from Book Three. They may be short, but they pack a powerful punch. So do the sermons we provide for each day, courtesy of Gerry Keveaney of Traditional Catholic Sermons.

   No, we have not gone loco and become climatic ecuMANIACs. Rather, in this one week of Time after Epiphany when the Sunday vestments are green before we begin the Time of Septuagesima in 2 weeks and purple/violet rules until Easter Sunday, we say go green for that reason and one more important reason that segues so perfectly into the purpose of this Church Unity Octave Week when we pray for the conversion of those outside the true Church. By the way, that includes praying for conciliar Catholics who have bought into the Apostate Vatican II church. What few realize is that Our Lady has given us the means to expedite conversions, yes, even the most unexpected and difficult ones by passing out blessed Green Scapulars and praying "Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us (or mention the person by name if you'd like), now and at the hour of our death" for each person you've given a Green Scapular to either knowingly or slipped into their possession unknowingly. That last part can be tricky but if you're really committed to bringing more souls into the fold of the only true Church founded by Jesus Christ, you'll find ways. You know, where there's a will, there's a way! Then leave it to the Mother of God to do the rest. It's been proven to work. Why not try it? You'll like it and so will God, His Angels and His Saints. After all, it's not about converting everyone at once, but rather one soul at a time. For more on the history, effectiveness and importance of this powerful emerald cloth, see The Green Scapular and Conversions

    The two videos below illustrate the best arguments for sedevacantism in proving the Chair of Peter remains vacant. This may, of course, contradict what you've heard from those who trip over themselves to Recognize and Resist the current occupant in Rome - the very one who relishes his reputation as the "humble one". Don't believe it. The devil deceives and he's done a good job of getting a vast majority to "believe lying" (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:10). To better understand why the Chair of Peter has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII of happy memory, we again provide these two videos below, one from Fr. Anthony Cekada titled "Why Do Traditionalists Fear Sedevacantism?" and the other from NovusOrdoWatch.org with "True or False Popes" Have the Gates of Hell Prevailed? that will hopefully remove the veil of doubt and help those who fear such a situation to connect the dots and realize the only reconciliation to the Great Apostasy today is that the gates of hell have prevailed against the CONciLIAR church but can never prevail against the true Church instituted by Jesus Christ upon the Rock of Peter. (cf. St. Matthew 16: 18)

    Finally, we continue to tread water by barely making payments for the DailyCatholic, especially this time of the year when many annual contracts come due. If grace has touched you in realizing where the true Church truly is today, we ask you to help us reach others through your donations. Anything you can contribute will be greatly appreciated. May God bless you during this very short Time after Epiphany as we prepare next week for the Time of Septuagesima.

PRAYER  FOR   THE   CHURCH   UNITY   OCTAVE
(Official Octave Prayer)

ANTIPHON (from St. John 17: 21)
"That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, in Me and I in Thee; that they also may be one in Us; that the world may believe that Thou has sent Me."

V. I say unto thee that thou art Peter
R. And upon this Rock I will build My Church.

Let us pray. O Lord Jesus Christ, Who saidst unto Thine Apostles: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; regard not our sins, but the faith of Thy Church, and vouchsafe to grant unto Her that peace and unity which are agreeable to Thy Will. Who livest and reignest God forever and ever. Amen.

An indulgence of 300 days during the octave of prayers for the unity of the Church, from the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter in Rome to the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. A Plenary Indulgence on the usual conditions at the end of the devout exercise.

    No matter the month, that Heart and Blood took life within the living tabernacle that is God's chosen vessel, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who as Co-Redemptrix, has promised at Fatima in fulfillment of Sacred Scripture that her Immaculate Heart would triumph. That could be God's way of inserting divine intervention to offset this Great Apostasy we remain in. Her holy Rosary is the link of hope between Traditional Catholics and CONciLIAR Catholics, and we remind you of your opportunity to pray each evening with others by calling into the Rosary Conference Call with moderator Tom Gillbrough at 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 9 p.m. Central, 8 p.m. Mountain, and 7 p.m. in the Pacific Daylight time zone. You are encouraged to call in ten minutes before the hour so that the Rosary can start on time with no latecomers to upset the reverence and continuity of the Blessed Virgin Mary's holy Psalter. For those who want to stay on after the five decades, they may join in praying the other two sets of mysteries not covered for that day. Monday and Thursday are the Joyful mysteries, Tuesday and Friday are the Sorrowful mysteries, and Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday are the Glorious mysteries.

On Saturday mornings you are invited to call 319-527-2928 (code 393-323#) and join Dave Fuire and possibly a priest in praying the five Mysteries of the holy Rosary at 1 p.m. EDT, noon CDT, 11 a.m. MDT, and 10 a.m. PDT in reparation for the offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is what Our Lady asked for at Fatima.

You'll note that Traditional Catholics never acknowledge the heretical luminous mysteries. Why? Because Heaven bestowed the holy Rosary to St. Dominic to fight the heresy of Albigensianism in 1214. Mary stipulated that the three sets of mysteries made up Christ's life through her and they represented the 150 Psalms which, when divided by the Trinitarian number 3 equals 50 Aves. Victorious over the Albgensians, it remained the same with miraculous results for nearly 800 years until unsaint JP2 decided he'd add the Masonic luminous mysteries. With that unprecedented move in which man thought he knew better than God, the number jumped to four sets of mysteries equalling 200 Aves. To show how demonic this is, when you divide 200 by the Trinitarian number 3 you get 66.6! That should tell you all you need to know about Vatican 2 and it's false 'popes'. That is why it is paramount to the welfare of your eternal soul to pray for the restoration of the true Roman Catholic Church so the true sacramental grace will flow freely again to save sinners trapped in mortal sin.

    Persevering in these times is not easy without the graces afforded only in the Traditional Latin Mass where only true priests can confect the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ through the transubstantion that takes place at the Consecration. Other than traditional priests and bishops ordained in the true Sacrament of Holy Orders, all those "ordained" or "consecrated" since 1968 with the man-made rite of Giovanni Montini have no more authority or power than a protestant minister, who, as Pope Leo XIII perfectly put it, "are completely null and utterly void." in his decree Apostolicae Curae regarding Anglican Orders, which were much more in tune than any Novus Ordo rite, yet are invalid. All other ways are counterfeit. Chief among the counterfeiters is the Argentine apostate imposter posing as 'pope' in Rome, who, like his predecessors since 1958, are so taken with pleasing man that, through their words and actions have shown their true colors even though many are colorblind when it comes to black and white absolutes. There are so many heresies the Argentinian Marxist has spewed from Laudato Si to Amoris Laetitia to "allowing" the SSPX priests to hear confessions in what he termed a few years back as the 'Year of Mercy'. God have mercy on those who are so duped by this man who is one of many antichrists (cf. 1 John 2: 18) who seeks to relax all doctrines. For proof of all this, we refer you to the excellent documentation by Novus Ordo Watch on Francis. Note this was all foretold by Our Lady at La Salette that "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist."

    Thus we must go against the grain, swim against the stream of comfort zones catering to the world, the flesh and the devil. That is why we have a duty - a Catholic responsibility before God - to instruct the ignorant and, believe us, the majority are truly ignorant of what the Catholic Faith teaches. That is why, with so few true priests, it falls on the laity to counsel the doubtful while leaving the true sacraments to the true priests who are spread so thin. The same goes for comforting the sorrowful and there is plenty to be sorrowful for, not only if you read the daily headlines or hear the sound bites, but the void of grace in countless souls since the Holy Ghost long ago lifted protection of the church in Rome today due to the Modernists' infiltration and the Great Apostasy resulting from the Second Vatican Council. Because we march to a different drum and choose the narrow path over the wide path to destruction strewn with wilting roses. That's why we get a lot of rejection. That's why we could tear our hair out in frustration at the lack of conversions except we know that "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible". Therefore, as true Catholics, we must bear wrongs patiently and forgive all injuries. Finally, or should we say, first of all, we cannot sustain this path unless we do as St. Paul says in his letter to the Corinthians, "Such confidence we have through Christ towards God. Not that we are sufficient to think of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God". That is why we are strongly encouraged to pray for the living and the dead in fulfilling our part of the Communion of Saints, something lost in today's pick-and-choose politically correct CONciLIAR church where the devil has ensconsed himself as is only too evident.

    In fact, It would seem the gates have shackled what to the world appears as the Catholic Church today, but in essence, is nothing but an evil imposter posing as Catholic while stripping her of all semblance of Catholicity. Yet so many remain blind, deaf and dumb to it all, going along to get along without realizing how wrong they are and how they will have to account for their actions or inactions at their Particular Judgment when it will be too late to make excuses or say 'I didn't know'. That is why we have continued to publish the DailyCatholic and link you to reliable, trusted sites so you can't say you didn't know. Yes, it means leaving the comfort zone you've erroneously grown accustomed to, but it's time all realized that we owe our allegiance not to men who violate the Faith, but to God and all that His holy Catholic Church passed down from Peter through the last true Pope - His Holiness Pope Pius XII of happy memory. Since then the wolves have invaded and engulfed souls in their wicked jaws. The six imposters you see below on the heresies of the false/antipopes of Vatican 2 could never be true popes as previous true popes have decreed as we document below in What the True Church really teaches.

    In restoring the sacred and returning to the truths and traditions, DailyCatholic continues to bring you the full liturgy for the Propers of for each day of the legitimate true Mass of all ages which His Holiness Pope St. Pius V infallibly decreed in Quo Primum cannot be altered and must be said in perpetuity. Then we link reliable sources that will not compromise with the Great Apostasy that has been thrust on the faithful over the past fifty-plus years. Out of all reliable sources verifying the above, NovusOrdoWatch provides the best play-by-play of the implosion of the counterfeit CONciLIAR church and the schemes toward a One World Order which is intent on erasing all true spirituality from this planet. Also he provides excellent commentary on the Tradcasts and Tradcast Express at the same site. Others worth checking on daily are Christorchaos.com for articles and links, as well as True Restoration and the following blogs that we heartily recommend Introibo Ad Altare Dei, Fr. Anthony Cekada's Quidlibet, Bishop Donald Sanborn's In Veritate, and the satirical, but on-point Call Me Jorge. We also point you to Traditio which, although the Father Moderators will not admit the term "sedevacantism", 95% of what they provide reinforces this position. Note, we provide here those sites that carry almost daily coverage and in no way demean other sites that update more infreqently. For those sites, please see Traditional Catholic Resource Port.

    The only obstacle to total domination as a totalitarian society is the Roman Catholic Church. Always has been. Since the death of the last true Sovereign Pontiff Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958 that wall of resistance has been steadily crumbling thanks to those with a worldly Marxist bent to accept the world and please man rather than God as is so evident today. Oh, the devil is laughing, but he seems to forget Genesis 3:15 where the Blessed Virgin Mary will crush his head with her heel. Oh, we can't wait! Until then, it's important to expose the wolves just as the holy Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales advises for the sake of informing souls of the dangers these charlatans pose. The sad fact is that since Vatican 2, the counterfeit church that eclipsed the true Church has put all their marbles in the corporal side of things while ignoring the spiritual. This is so obvious today with Marxist-bred Bergoglio's humanistic globalism for a One World Relgion that totally ignores Divine Law by focusing favor on the world, the flesh, and, yes, definitely the devil.

    While we see the edifications of the saints, we also must be aware of their adversaries who work tirelessly to dissuade souls from pursuing holiness, which we will cover further down for it is not something that has just happened, but was percolating for centuries and only came to the surface over the past 50 plus years with the cabal that corrals Catholics today with the notion that doctrine evolves and that everyone goes to Heaven. To alert souls to this deception, what we all must do is...

KNOW the FAITH to KEEP the FAITH

    To affirm this in more depth and assist you in this truth, we heartily recommend Griff Ruby's two-volume books titled Sede Vacante. In addition we present here a thorough talk by His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn, Rector of Most Holy Trinity Seminary. We encourage you to set aside an hour and a half to truly help your soul and clarify what is really happening by listening to his magnificent and eye-opening complete overview of the Great Apostasy in: The Novus Ordo Church, Vatican II, and Sedevacantism. It's a good idea to listen to the Questions and Answers after his talk that provides rock-solid reasons why Sedevacantists have been right all along and we pray more will receive the grace to see why and flee the Novus Ordo.

       As much as we hate to beg, we have no choice. If you have benefited in anyway from what we have published, we humbly ask your help to keep this publication on line. We know that so many of our readers are unable to assist at a true traditional Latin Mass because of where they live and use the daily liturgy we publish to gain the efficacious graces possible through their prayers at home. We remain the only publication in the world to provide such and are grateful to God that we can provide such nourishment for souls. If you have not donated before, isn't it only right and proper to donate now? Whatever you can afford will be greatly appreciated. Just click the button below or send a check/money order to the address below. We are a bonafide non-profit 501c(3) religious association and all donations are tax-deductible. Whatever you would have contributed toward any bloated political campaigns or thrown away in the conciliar collection plates that only goes to covering up the sins of its presbyters and false primates while destroying all semblence of Catholicism, why not earmark it for SANCTUS/DailyCatholic? After all, shouldn't we all take St. Paul's strong counsel in 2 Thessalonians 2: 14 to heart and "stand firm, and hold the traditions which you have learned"?

An excellent book to decipher the difference between the True Church and the CONciLIAR church of Vatican 2 is provided by Fathers Dominic and Francisco Radecki, CMRI. See Tumultuous Times

by Mario Derksen

Griff Ruby, author of The Resurrection of the Roman Catholic Church, has just published two volumes on the existence of Sedevacantism in our times. (click on each book to where you can procure them) that quite readily refute anything the anti-sedevacantists can muster.

   

To fortify why the CONciLIAR church is the false church, see key Papal Decrees that preceded it in pre-Vatican Two times by true Popes who solidly condemned the V2 false 'popes' who have spit in Heaven's Face. God will not be mocked. See for yourself what the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church has decreed:

If the above Papal Decrees have not convinced you, then for more evidence that the Chair is VACANT and that Vatican Two and all that has followed is Anathema sit as St. Paul asserts in Galatians 1: 8-9, see these on-line books and sources:

When One Cannot physically Assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

For those who cannot be present for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we provide additional prayers that can be supplemented with the ORDINARY OF THE HOLY MASS and the PROPER OF THE DAY to enable you to better prepare yourself at home. Of course, this never replaces actually being there, but it is much better than attending the Novus Ordo services. Therefore we have gleaned from The Key of Heaven prayers to say at home. It is very comforting to know that the Holy Mass is offered for us even when we are not actually present. But to enjoy the benefits which it procures, we must by a SPIRITUAL COMMUNION become partakers of the altar from which we are temporarily banished. Here we provide prayers in preparation for fulfilling assistance in absentia in addition to the ORDINARY OF THE HOLY MASS and PROPER OF THE DAY. PRAYERS IN ABSENTIA

Live Mass Webcasts at Saint Gertrude the Great on Sundays at 7:30, 9:00, 11:30 AM and 5:45 PM, as well as on school days at 11:20AM. Other Masses and services are webcast as noted in the Bulletin.

Prayer Before the Crucifix

Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst fix deep within my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds; having before my eyes the words which David in prophesy spoke concerning Thee, O Good Jesus: "They have pierced My hands and My feet; they have numbered all My bones."

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

  Grant unto us, Thy servants, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, at all times to enjoy health of soul and body; and by the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary, ever virgin, when freed from the sorrows of this present life, to enter into that joy which hath no end. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.

Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.


Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Thy word.

Hail Mary...

And the Word was made flesh. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.




Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae. Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructis ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.



Ecce ancilla Domini. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.

Ave Maria...


Et Verbum caro factum est. Et habitavit in nobis.
Ave Maria...



Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.


Oremus.


Gratiam tuam, quaesumus Domine, mentibus nostris infunde: ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus, per passionem ejus et crucem ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

MEMORARE

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.



Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum. Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen.


The Fatima Prayers

My God, I believe, I adore, I trust and I love Thee; and I beg pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee.

(repeat the above 3 times then bow your head in reciting the following:)

    O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in tabernacles throughout the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in unison with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners.

    O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament!

    O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for the conversion of poor sinners.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.
