The Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel was given to us by a Servant of God, Antonia d'Astonac. She had a vision of St. Michael who asked her to honor him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. St. Michael promised that whoever practices this devotion would have an angelic escort whenever receiving the Eucharist and whoever daily practices this devotion would have continual assistance from the angels through their entire life.
