By "the Prayer to Saint Michael" is usually meant one particular prayer among the various ones that are addressed to Michael the archangel. This is the Prayer to Saint Michael that was directed to be said after Low Mass in the Catholic Church since 1886. Other prayers to Saint Michael have also been officially approved. == In the Leonine Prayers == In 1886, Pope Leo XIII added a Prayer to Saint Michael〔''Irish Ecclesiastical Review'' 7 (1886), (1050 )〕 to the Leonine Prayers, which he had directed to be said after Low Mass two years earlier.〔Decree ''Iam inde ab anno'' of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 6 January 1884.(''Acta Sanctae Sedis'' 16 (1884) ), pages 249–250〕 Latin text 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.〔(Leonine prayers after Low Mass )〕 English translation used in America St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. The English translation that was used in Ireland is quoted in ''Ulysses'' of James Joyce.〔(Frederick K. Lang, ''Ulysses and the Irish God'' (Bucknell University Press 1993 ISBN 978-0-83875150-3), p. 112 )〕 Variant English translations have "Holy Michael", "Saint Michael", "defend us in battle", "malice and snares", "may God rebuke him", "all evil spirits", "prowl through the world seeking the ruin", and other differences.〔(Prayer for the Church # 3 )〕〔(Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel )〕〔(Catholic Online, "Prayer for the Church # 3" )〕〔(Alfred Boeddeker, "Our Guardian Angels" )〕 The prayer's opening words are similar to the Alleluia verse for Saint Michael’s feasts on 8 May and 29 September in the Roman Missal of the time, which ran, "Sancte Michael, defende nos in proelio ut non pereamus in tremendo iudicio". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prayer to Saint Michael」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
