Every year, from the Assumption on August 15 to Michaelmas on September 29, a growing number of Catholics quietly keep a forty-day devotion almost no one talks about: St. Michael's Lent.
You already know the feeling — ordinary prayer isn't cutting through, and you need something sturdier for the season you're in. Most prayer books hand you a single prayer to St. Michael and leave you to figure out the rest on your own.
40 Days with St. Michael doesn't. This Catholic prayer journal walks you through all forty-six days of the fast St. Francis of Assisi kept in 1224 on Mount La Verna — one guided daily meditation at a time, drawn from Scripture and the real teaching of the Doctors of the Church, never invented, always sourced.
Inside, you'll find the complete, unabridged text of four prayers most Catholics have never prayed in full: the traditional Prayer to St. Michael of Pope Leo XIII, the historic Litany of St. Michael, the Act of Consecration tied to the ancient shrine of Monte Gargano, and the Chaplet of St. Michael approved by Pope Pius IX, prayed choir by choir through all nine ranks of angels across the final nine days.
Six guided parts carry you from consecration through fasting, spiritual warfare, everyday companionship with your guardian angel, the turning of the season, and a closing novena ending on Michaelmas itself — the shared feast of Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Each day closes with one concrete resolution, written in your own hand, so this becomes a daily habit, not just a read.
Whether this is your first St. Michael's Lent or one you renew every year, this journal gives you a documented, unhurried companion for the whole forty-six days — not a summary of the devotion, but the devotion itself, ready to pray.
