The Queen of Prayer: The Holy Rosary

The Most Holy Rosary and various other rosary chaplets transmitted by Heaven

Chaplet to St. Michael the Archangel

And the nine Choirs of Angels

Antónia d Astónaco was a Portuguese Carmelite nun who received a revelation from St. Michael the Archangel in 1751.

In an apparition, St. Michael the Archangel informed her that by praying new special invocations, he would be pleased to be honored and glorify God. The nine invocations correspond to the nine choirs of angels and origins of the Rosary to St. Michael the Archangel.

St. Michael promises: "Whoever would practice this devotion in his honor would have, when approaching the Holy Table, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for the daily recital of these nine salutations, he promised his continual assistance and that all the holy angels during life, and after death deliverance from Purgatory for themselves and all their relations."
