What is the Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel?
The Chaplet of Saint Michael is a devotional prayer honoring Saint Michael and the nine choirs of angels (Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels). Approved by Pope Blessed Pius IX, the chaplet asks for angelic assistance in resisting temptations, living with purity, and persevering in grace. St. Michael promised that anyone who recites this chaplet with devotion will receive an escort of nine angels chosen from each choir when approaching Holy Communion.
