The Original Prayer was taken from The Raccolta, 1930, Benzinger Bros., pp. 314-315.
The Prayer:
O Glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, be our defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against principalities and Powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, spirits of evil. Come to the aid of man, whom God created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil.
Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven.
That cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels, Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he moves about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of his Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. That wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.
Those most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.
Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits. Bring help to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and Patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen
Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.
The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David.
Let thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.
As we have hoped in thee.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon thy holy name, and as suppliants we implore thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious Archangel St. Michael, thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all other unclean spirits, who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls.
Amen.
教皇レオ13世 「大天使聖ミカエルに向かう祈り」
ああ栄えある大天使聖ミカエル、天軍の総帥、権勢と能力にしてこの闇の世の支配者なる悪霊との恐るべき戦いにおいてわれらを護り給え。天主がその似姿に創り給い、悪魔の暴虐より大いなる代価もて贖い給いし人類を助けに来たり給え。
今日、聖なる天使らとともに、主の戦（いくさ）を戦い給え。御身に抗する力なく最早天国の場所なき傲慢の天使らの首謀者ルシファーと反逆の輩（やから）に対して、かつて御身が戦い給いしごとく戦い給え。
悪魔もしくはサタンと呼ばれ、全世界を誘惑せし、この陰惨なる古（いにしえ）の蛇は、その天使らとともに深淵に投げ込まれたり。この古の敵にして人類の殺害者が力を持ちたるを見よ。そは光の天使に変容し、おびただしき全ての邪悪な霊と共に徘徊し、天主とキリストの御名を抹消するために地を侵略し、永久（とわ）の栄えの冠に定められし霊魂を捉えて襲い、永遠の滅びへと投げ入れんとするものなり。この邪悪なる竜は、腐敗せし精神と堕落せし心、虚偽と有毒と冒涜の霊、不潔の有害なる口臭、すべての悪と非道もて、その悪意の毒液をいとも不浄なる洪水のごとく人類に注ぎ出すものなり。
このいと狡猾な敵供は、罪の汚れなき子羊の浄配なる教会を憎悪と怨恨で満たして泥酔させ、教会のいと聖なる財産に不敬な手をかけん。牧者が打たれ羊が散らされるとき、聖なるペトロの聖座にして世の光のための真理の座が据えられし、まさにその聖なる場そのものより、彼らは邪悪な策略もて忌むべき不遜な王座を起こさん。
ああ無敵の総帥、立ち上がり給え。滅びの霊による天主の民への攻撃に助けを垂れ、勝利をもたらし給え。民は御身を守護者にして保護者と尊し奉る。御身の内に、聖なる教会は地獄の邪悪なる力から護られ栄えん。御身に天主は天国の至福の内に打ち立てられる者の霊魂を委ねん。ああ平和の天主に祈り給え。天主がサタンをわれらの足下に置き、サタンが最早、人を捕虜とし教会を傷つけることあたわざらんことを。われらの祈りを至高なる御者の御目の内に供し、その祈りが速やかに主の御憐れみを得んことを。しかして、悪魔にしてサタンにして竜なる古の蛇を打ち倒し、御身がそを再び深淵に拘束し、決して国々を誘惑せざらんことを。アーメン。
主の十字架を見よ。汝らの敵の力は散らされん。
ユダ族の獅子、ダビドの根は征服せり。
ああ主よ、御身の御憐れみをわれらに垂れ給え。
御身に希望せんとき、
主よ、わが祈りを聞き給え。
わが嘆きが御身に至らんことを。
祈願 ああ、われらの主イエズス・キリストの御父なる天主、われら御身の聖なる御名を呼び、哀願者なるわれらは御身の寛大さを願い奉る。終世童貞にして無原罪なる御母マリアと、栄えある大天使聖ミカエルの御取次ぎによりて、この世を徘徊し人間を傷つけ霊魂を損なわんとするサタン及びすべての不浄なる霊より、かたじけなくも御身がわれらを助け給わんことを。アーメン。
