Hacienda chapel, cupola pendentive, St. Michael Archangel

Hacienda chapel, cupola pendentive, St. Michael Archangel - Santiago Tetlapayac, Hidalgo
"Blessed Michael, archangel,
defend us in the hour of conflict.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil
(may God restrain him, we humbly pray):
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God thrust Satan down to hell
and with him those other wicked spirits
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen."
[Leonine Prayer to St. Michael; introduced by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 to be said
after Low Mass; English translation from James Joyce's Ulysses, 1922.]
