Chaplet of Saint Michael
The Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel is a Chaplet resulting from revelation by the Archangel to a Carmelite nun. A Chaplet is a form of Roman Catholic prayer which use prayer beads but is not necessarily related to the Rosary. This Chaplet was approved by Pope Pius IX in 1851 and was granted indulgences. There are many approved Chaplets, but we are just focusing on the ones with protective benefits.
Praying the chaplet is said to provide great benefits for those who pray it often, among which are the continuous assistance from St. Michel and the company of one angel of each of the nine celestial choirs when approaching communion. In addition, for those who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life. Praying the chaplet is also believed gradually to defeat demons and grant a Pure thus delivering one from Purgatory. These blessings extend to the direct family.
The Chaplet formula as well as the “our Father” and Hail Mary are written out below. The Blue text is the prayer, the orange text is directions.
