Exit Cross: 
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.’ But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’ The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.’ Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her.
-- Luke 1:26-38

Chaplet of St. Michael, Archangel

History:

One day, St. Michael, Prince of Angels, appeared to a devout servant of God named Antonia d'Astonac.  The Archangel Michael said to her, "I wish to be honoured by 9 salutations corresponding to the 9 Choirs of Angels, consisting of 1 Our Father and 3 Hail Marys for each of the angelic choirs.".  St. Michael went on to promise that anyone who prayed this devotion in his honour would have, when approaching the Holy Altar to receive the Eucharist, an escort of 9 angels chosen by himself from each of the 9 choirs of angels.  In addition, he promised that anyone who recited this devotion daily would be given during his life, Prince Michael's won 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.
