Nine Choirs Of Angels

Nine Choirs of Angels is a simple, beautiful guide to the Chaplet of St. Michael the Archangel, the devotion that honours the nine choirs of angels one by one and asks St. Michael for his protection.

The chaplet has a lovely shape. It opens with a prayer for God’s help, then moves through nine salutations, one for each choir, from the Seraphim and Cherubim down to the Archangels and Angels. Each salutation asks for a particular grace, like the fire of charity, humility or perseverance, and is followed by an Our Father and three Hail Marys. It closes with the prayer to St. Michael as prince of the heavenly host. The app walks you through all of it on screen, so you don’t need beads or a prayer card to follow along.

It also explains the nine choirs themselves, grouped into their three spheres. That’s a nice touch for anyone who has prayed the St. Michael prayer after Mass for years without ever learning the rest of the angelic hierarchy, and it makes a gentle way to teach children about the angels.

It’s free, clean and focused, and it does one devotion well. If you want to add a weekly chaplet to your prayer life, or you have a special devotion to St. Michael, this is a lovely app to keep on your phone.
