Morning Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

God be praised for the freshness of the morning and the dawning of this new day. Blessed Michael, we call upon your special custody over us. Please shield us from all bodily and spiritual peril. Help us to be truly Christian in today’s activities and leisure moments. Inspire us to do good, to shun evil, and to remember how precious we are to the Giver of this new day. Amen.
