The powerful novena of nine thanks to San Michele Arcangelo
(To be recited whole for nine consecutive days
every time you want to express your devotion to St. Michael the Archangel or want to ask for a grace).
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O God, come save me.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory to the Father
Credo
I believe in God, Almighty Father,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son,
our Lord, who was conceived
of the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
he died and was buried; the underworld descended;
on the third day he rose from the dead;
he went up to heaven, sits at the right hand of God
Almighty Father:
thence he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Church
Cattolica, the communion of saints,
the remission of sins, the resurrection
of the flesh, eternal life.
Amen.
