Chaplet of St. Michael, Archangel - variations

Prayer on the Guardian Angel medal:
Our Father
St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil.  We humbly beseech God to command him, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the divine power thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen

Variation #2 (Also known as the Chaplet of the Holy Angels):

On the medal:
O my Jesus, I offer you this chaplet to Your Divine Heart, that You may render it perfect, thus giving joy to Your holy Angles and so they may keep me under their holy protection, above all at the hour of my death to which I invite them with all my heart.  Strengthened by their presence, I will await death with joy and be preserved from the assaults of hell.
I beseech you also, dear Angels, to visit immediately the souls in Purgatory, especially my parents, my friends, my benefactors; help them so that they will soon be delivered.  Do not forget me either after my death.  This I beg you with all my heart, through the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Amen.

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.
