40 Days with St. Michael: A St. Michael's Lent Prayer Companion — August 15 to Michaelmas: the Traditional Prayer, Litany, Consecration and Chaplet, ... (Better Catholic — Prayer Companions)

Every year, from the Assumption of Our Lady (August 15) to Michaelmas (September 29), Catholics keep the forty-day fast that St. Francis of Assisi kept on Mount La Verna in 1224 — the fast during which he received the stigmata. It is called St. Michael's Lent, and it is quietly becoming one of the most powerful devotions in the Church today: millions now pray it together every year.

This companion gives you everything you need to keep it, one day at a time:

the traditional Prayer to St. Michael of Pope Leo XIII; the complete Litany of St. Michael ; the Act of Consecration associated with the ancient shrine of Gargano; in the final nine days, the Chaplet of St. Michael approved by Pius IX in 1851; each day, a short meditation drawn from the Doctors of the Church and one concrete resolution for your notebook. Every prayer's origin is documented. Nothing invented, nothing diluted — the real devotion, with its real sources, ready to pray.
