Holy Michael Archangel,
Defend us in the Day of Battle;
Be our safeguard against the wickedness
and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him,
We humbly Pray,
And do thou,
Prince of the Heavenly host,
By the power of God,
Thrust down to Hell,
Satan and all wicked spirits,
Who wander through the world
for the ruin of Souls.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Amen.

defende nos in proelio;
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae Caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Cor Jesu sacratissimum. Miserere nobis.
Cor Jesu sacratissimum. Miserere nobis.
Cor Jesu sacratissimum. Miserere nobis.

Saint Michel Archange,
Défendez-nous dans le combat;
Soyez notre secours contre la perfidie
et les embûches du démon.
Que Dieu exerce sur lui Son empire,
nous le demandons en suppliant;
Et vous, prince de la milice céleste,
Refoulez en enfer, par la Vertu divine,
Satan et les autres esprits malins,
Qui errent dans le monde pour la perte des âmes.
Sacré-Cœur de Jésus. Aie pitié de nous.
Sacré-Cœur de Jésus. Aie pitié de nous.
Sacré-Cœur de Jésus. Aie pitié de nous.
Amen.

The Abbot of Le Barroux, Abbé F. Louis-Marie, O.S.B., states in the latest Newsletter, reference the Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel:
"Cet appel est toujours bien actuel, c'est pourquoi je vous propose de réciter souvent la prière à saint Michel Archange".
""This plea is always relevant, it is for that reason that I propose to you to recite often the Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel."
The Prayer to Saint Michael The Archangel is part of The Leonine Prayers.
The Leonine Prayers are a set of Prayers, prescribed by Pope Leo XIII (hence, "Leonine Prayers"), that, from 1884 to early-1965, were recited after Low Mass. They are still sometimes used at celebrations of the Tridentine Mass, today.
The Prayers did not form part of the Mass, itself, but were prescribed for specific intentions. The original intention was the defence of the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See. After this problem was settled with the Lateran Treaty of 1929, Pope Pius XI ordered that the Prayers should be said for the restoration to the people of Russia of tranquillity and freedom to profess the Catholic Faith. This gave rise to the unofficial and inaccurate use of the name, "Prayers for the Conversion of Russia" for the Prayers, which were also known, less inaccurately, as "Prayers after Mass".
The final form of The Leonine Prayers consisted of three Ave Marias, a Salve Regina, followed by a Versicle and Response, a Prayer for the conversion of sinners and the liberty and exaltation of the Catholic Church, and a Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel.

Pope Saint Pius X permitted the addition of the Invocation, "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us", repeated three times.
