REFUGE OF SINNERS - PRAY FOR US

The Pope asked Catholics to pray the rosary every day during the month of October for protection of the Church from the devil.

A Vatican statement says: “ the Pope is asking the faithful of the whole world to pray so that the Mother of God puts the Church under her protective mantle to preserve her from the attacks of the evil one, the great accuser, and to make [the Church] all the more conscious of the faults, the mistakes, the abuses made in the present and in the past, and more committed to fighting without any hesitation for evil not to prevail.”

The Pope has also asked us to say the prayer to Michael the Archangel for the same purpose.

The two prayers:

(1) Invocation: Sub Tuum Praessidium (Under Your Protection)

We fly to thy protection, O Holy Mother of God; do not despise our petitions in our necessities but deliver us always from all dangers, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. Amen.

(2) St. Michael the Archangel

Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection 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, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
