Today is the Feast of St Michael the Archangel.
The New Liturgical Movement has an article on their website from 2018 about the observance of the day, and which can be seen at Liturgical Notes on the Feast of St Michael and All Angels
For the May feast which commemorates the Archangel’s Apparition at Monte Gargano they had an article earlier this year which is to be found at The Apparition of St Michael
The blog of A Clerk of Oxford has a beautifully illustrated article from 2013 about medieval devotional texts for both clerical and lay audiences addressing St Michael which can be seen at Four Medieval Texts for Michaelmas

Holy Michael Archangel
Defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil,
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
By the power of God
Thrust down into Hell Satan and all who wander through the world to the ruin of souls
