Chaplet of Saint Michael

[1] Antónia d'Astónaco was a Portuguese Carmelite nun who reported a private revelation by Saint Michael the Archangel in 1750.

[2] Sometime in the 1750s, d'Astónaco said that the Archangel Michael had indicated in an apparition that he would like to be honored, and God glorified, by the praying of nine special invocations.

For those who would recite the Chaplet daily, Saint Michael reportedly promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life.

Praying the chaplet is also believed gradually to defeat demons and gain a pure heart, thus delivering the petitioner from Purgatory.

(Say one Our Father and three Hail Marys after each of the following nine salutations in honor of the nine Choirs of Angels) Saint Michael purportedly promised to those who recite these nine salutations, every day: The indulgences granted by Pope Pius IX were superseded by the 1968 Enchiridion Indulgentiarum.
