In deep humility we pray O Lord for the strength to imitate Saint Justin in his constant efforts to make known the riches of the Faith to his fellowmen. Grant us the grace to be ever mindful of the many blessings we have received from You. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to Your protection, implored Your help, or sought Your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto You, O virgin of virgins, my Mother. To You I come, before You I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
St. Michael, the Archangel! Glorious Prince, chief and champion of the heavenly hosts; guardian of the souls of men; conqueror of the rebel angels! How beautiful art thou, in thy heaven-made armor. We love thee, dear Prince of Heaven!
We, thy happy clients, yearn to enjoy thy special protection. Obtain for us from God a share of thy sturdy courage; pray that we may have a strong and tender love for our Redeemer and, in every danger or temptation, be invincible against the enemy of our souls. O standard-bearer of our salvation! Be with us in our last moments and when our souls quit this earthly exile, carry them safely to the judgement seat of Christ, and may Our Lord and Master bid thee bear us speedily to the kingdom of eternal bliss. Teach us ever to repeat the sublime cry: "Who is like unto God?" Amen.

I - Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And you, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
II - Dear Saint Michael, your name means, "Who is like God?" and it indicates that you remained faithful when others rebelled against God. Help police officers in our day who strive to stem the rebellion and evil that are rampant on all sides. Keep them faithful to their God as well as to their country and their fellow human beings.Amen.
III - Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirit of wickedness in the high places. Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. The Holy Church venerates thee as her guardian and protector; to thee the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into Heaven. Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church. Offer our prayers to the most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us. Take hold of the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, bind him, and cast him into the bottomless pit so that he should no more seduce the nations. Amen.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant From this day all generations shall call me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm, He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever. Amen.
Powerful Prayer to St. Michael and all the Angels
O Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me. Today, I give You my soul, body and will. Humbly, I ask You to live in me and direct me
in ways pleasing to You. For help and assistance to please You, I call upon Your Holy Angels.
O Heavenly Angels of God, you serve God at all times, you are protectors of God's people and enemies of the devils. I bow before you, blessed Angels, and rejoice in your greatness. You stand, never sleeping; with faith you watch and with swiftness serve the will of God. Tireless, you fight and always triumph, having no other care but to chase away the enemies of God and of His creation. O blessed guardians of God's people, I respect you and thank you for the help, guidance and protection you give us every day. Above all, I bless you for your care of me, an unworthy sinner.
O Holy Angel, guardian of my soul, and St. Michael the Archangel, be my helpers. Do not be offended at me, a sinner, do not leave me alone; guard me day and night until with true repentance I give my soul into the hands of God my Maker. Save me from all enemies, seen and unseen, that I may not keep repeating my sins. I pray that upon my death I may be found worthy of seeing you, and that you will be standing around me to bring my soul to heaven, so I may worship before the face of God. Amen.

Office of Supplication to the Most Pure Mother of God
Third Ode
O Lord, Creator of the dwellers of the highest heavens and Builder of the Church, strengthen my love for You. O Supreme Goal of all desire, Uplifter of the faithful, You alone are the Lover of Mankind.
O Most Holy Mother of God, save us.
O Virgin, Mother of God, I choose you to be my protection and the shelter of my life. Direct me towards your haven, For you are the channel of all good things and the support of the faithful, O you who alone are worthy of all praise!
O Most Holy Mother of God, save us.
I beseech you, O Virgin: dispel the troubles of my soul, quiet the surge of my despair; for you, O bride of God, have carried Christ, The Prince of Peace, and you alone are perfectly pure.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
O you who gave birth to the Doer of Good, to the Cause of all Delights, Let the wealth of His generosity abound within all souls, for since you have borne the almighty Christ, you have power to act according to your will, O you who are blessed of God!
Now and always and unto ages of ages. Amen.
O Virgin, help me who am pressed by incurable ills and distressing passions, for I know that you, all-blameless one, are a perfect and abundant treasury of healings.
Deliver your servants from all dangers, O Mother of God, for next to God, you are our stronghold, our indestructible fortress.
O you who are worthy of all praise, O Mother of God, look down upon the ills of my afflicted body, and heal the infirmities of my soul.

Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty Father, We give thanks for all you have given us. In your goodness you have favored this, your family of St. Justin, Martyr, with a faith rooted in the Love of Jesus, your Son.

Through his intercession grant that we may never fall into error but remain firm in the Faith.
O Glorious Patron, St. Justin, grant us a share of that courage which strengthened you to defend the truth of Christ, and thus attain the Crown of Martyrdom. Amen.
