Ad S. Michaëlem
Archangelum Precatio |
Prayer to St. Michael
the Archangel |
| Princeps gloriossime cælestis militiæ, sancte Michaël Archangele, defende nos in prœlio adversus principes et potestates, adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum, contra spiritualia nequitiæ, in cælestibus. |
O Glorious Archangel St. Michaël, Prince of the heavenly host, be our defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, spirits of evil. |
| ¡Veni in auxilium hominum!, quos Deus creavit inexterminabiles, et ad imaginem similitudinis suæ fecit, et a tyrannide diaboli emit pretio magno. |
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. |
| ¡Prœliare hodie cum beatorum Angelorum exercitu prœlia Domini!, sicut pugnasti contra ducem superbiæ Luciferum, et angelos ejus apostaticos : et non valuerunt, neque locus inventus est eorum amplius in cælo. |
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. |
| Sed projectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur diabolus et satanas, qui seducit universum orbem ; et projectus est in terram, et angeli ejus cum illo missi sunt. |
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. |
| En antiquus inimicus et homicida vehementer erectus est. Transfiguratus in angelum lucis, cum tota malignorum spirituum caterva late circuit et invadit terram, ut in ea deleat nomen Dei et Christi ejus, animasque ad æternæ gloriæ coronam destinatas furetur, mactet ac perdat in sempiternum interitum. |
Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders 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. |
| Virus nequitiæ suæ, tanquam flumen immundissimum, draco maleficus transfundit in homines depravatos mente et corruptos corde, spiritum mendacii, impietatis et blasphemiæ, halitumque mortiferum luxuriæ, vitiorum omnium et iniquitatum. |
This 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. |
| Ecclesiam, Agni immaculati sponsam, vaferrrimi hostes repleverunt amaritudinibus ; inebriarunt absinthio ; ad omnia desiderabilia ejus, impias miserunt manus. |
These 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. |
|
Ubi sedes beatissimi Petri et Cathedra veritatis ad lucem gentium constituta est, ibi thronum posuerunt abominationis et impietatis suæ, ut, percusso Pastore, et gregem disperdere valeant. |
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. |
| ¡Adesto itaque, Dux invictissime, populo Dei contra irrumpentes spirituales nequitias, et fac victoriam! Te custodem et patronum sancta veneratur Ecclesia ; te gloriatur defensore adversus terrestrium et infernorum nefarias potestates ; tibi tradidit Dominus animas redemptorum in superna felicitate locandas. |
Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits 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. |
|
|
| ¡Deprecare Deum pacis, ut conterat satanam sub pedibus nostris!, ne ultra valeat captivos tenere homines, et Ecclesiæ nocere. Offer nostras preces in conspectu Altissimi, ut cito anticipent nos misericordiæ Domini, et apprehendas draconem, serpentem antiquum, qui est diabolus et satanas, ac ligatum mittas in abyssum, ut non seducat amplius gentes. |
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, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. |
| Hinc, tuo confisi præsidio ac tutela, sacri ministerii nostri auctoritate [si fuerit laicus, vel clericus qui ordinem exorcistatus nondum suscepit, dicat: sacra sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ auctoritate], ad infestationes diabolicæ fraudis repellendas in nomine Jesu Christi Dei et Domini nostri fidentes et securi aggredimur. |
Therefore trusting in thy protection and guardianship, with the authority of our sacred ministry {if a layman, or a cleric who has not yet received the order of exorcist: with the sacred authority of holy Mother Church}, in the name of Jesus Christ our God and Lord we confidently and securely undertake to repel the assaults of diabolic deceit. |
| V) Ecce Crucem Domini, ¡fugite!, partes adversæ. |
V) Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered, ye hostile powers. |
| R) Vicit Leo de tribu Juda, radix David. |
R) The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David. |
| V) Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos. |
V) Let thy mercies be upon us, O Lord. |
| R) Quemadmodum speravimus in te. |
R) As we have hoped in thee. |
| V) Domine, exaudi orationem meam. |
