The St. Michael the Archangel Chaplet is a devotional prayer consisting of a specific set of prayers and beads dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel. It is a way for Catholics and other Christians to seek the intercession and protection of St. Michael in their spiritual battles against evil.

The chaplet typically consists of nine groups of prayers, each focused on a specific choir of angels and their corresponding virtues. The prayers include the recitation of the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. The chaplet begins with an introductory prayer invoking God's assistance and continues with specific intentions and requests for the virtues associated with each choir of angels. The prayers are usually said on a set of beads, similar to a rosary.

The St. Michael the Archangel Chaplet concludes with a closing prayer that acknowledges St. Michael's role as the chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, asking for his protection and deliverance from evil. It also recognizes God's appointment of St. Michael as the prince of the Church and seeks his intercession for a holy death and guidance into God's presence.

The chaplet serves as a powerful means of invoking the protection, assistance, and guidance of St. Michael the Archangel, who is revered as a powerful defender against the forces of evil. It is a devotion that encourages believers to turn to St. Michael for strength and spiritual assistance in their daily lives and spiritual battles.
