On 29 September 2018, the Feast of St. Michael the Arch-angel, Pope Francis asked Catholics everywhere to pray the Rosary each day during the month of October and to con-clude it with the ancient prayer Sub tuum praesidium and the Leonine Prayer to Saint Michael “so that evil may not prevail”. The prayers appear below in their complete Latin text with line-by-line translation, and then in the way we usually offer the prayer in English.

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus,
Sancta Dei Genetrix
Nostras deprecationes
ne despicias
in necessitatibus nostris,
sed a periculis cunctis
libera nos semper,
Virgo gloriosa et benedicta.

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

Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God; In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.

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.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
against the wickedness
and snares of the devil
be our protection.
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray;
And do thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
Satan and all evil spirits
who for the ruin of souls
wander through the world,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell.
Amen.

Saint Michael the 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 about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
