One day, Saint Michael, Prince of Angels, appeared to a devout
servant of God named Antonia d' Astonac. The Arch-angel Michael said
to her, "I wish to be honored by nine salutations corresponding to the
nine Choirs of Angels, consisting of one Our Father and three Hail
Marys for each of the angelic choirs." Saint Michael went on to
promise that anyone who prayed this devotion in his honor would have,
when approaching the Holy Altar to receive the Eucharist, an escort of
nine angels chosen by himself from each of the nine choirs of angels.
In addition, he promised that anyone who recited this devotion daily
would be given during his life Prince Michael's own protection as well
as the continual assistance of all of God's holy angels. Furthermore,
after death, such a one will obtain for himself and his relations
deliverance from purgatory.
O God, come to my assistance.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be, etc.
