Chaplet of St. Michael

History of the Chaplet The history of this Chaplet goes back to a devout Servant of God, Antonia d’Astonac, a Carmelite Nun, who had a vision of St. Michael. He told Antonia to honor him by nine salutations to the nine Choirs of Angels. St. Michael promised that whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for those who would recite the Chaplet daily, he promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life.
