Chaplet of St Michael
from Hail Immaculate Heart Hosted by Ana Pantoja
The Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel is tied to three main spiritual promises revealed to the Portuguese Carmelite nun Antónia d'Astónaco in 1751 and approved by Pope Pius IX in 1851: [1, 2] The Three Promises Escort to Holy Communion: Those who practice the devotion are promised an escort of nine angels—one chosen from each of the nine choirs of angels—when approaching the Holy Table. [1, 2] Continual Assistance in Life: For the daily recitation of the nine salutations, Saint Michael promises his continual assistance and the help of all the holy angels throughout the person's life. [1, 2] Deliverance from Purgatory: For those who pray it daily, the promise includes deliverance from Purgatory after death for themselves and all their relatives. [1, 2] Origin and Approval Vision: The devotion originated from a private revelation to Sister Antónia d'Astónaco, where St. Michael requested honor through nine salutations corresponding to the nine celestial choirs. [1, 2] Church Recognition: Pope Pius IX formally approved the devotion and attached indulgences to it by a decree on August 8, 1851. You can read more about the devotion's background on EWTN.
