The benefits associated with praying the Chaplet of St. Michael are primarily spiritual and include:

• Protection from Evil: A central theme of the Chaplet is seeking St. Michael's intercession for protection against the "snares and temptations of the devil" and from evil spirits. This is a common petition in prayers to St. Michael, who is known as the vanquisher of rebel spirits.

• Spiritual Growth and Virtues: The nine salutations within the Chaplet are structured to invoke specific graces through the intercession of St. Michael and the different choirs of angels. These graces include burning with perfect charity (Seraphim), leaving sin and pursuing Christian perfection (Cherubim), cultivating humility (Thrones), governing senses and overcoming unruly passions (Dominions), and protection against temptation (Powers). Other virtues sought include preservation from evil (Virtues), a spirit of obedience (Principalities), perseverance in faith and good works (Archangels), and protection in life and guidance to Heaven (Angels).

• Guidance and Support: The Chaplet also seeks the protection and guidance of angels in mortal life and their assistance in reaching Heaven in the afterlife.

• Comfort and Peace: Many devotees report finding peace, harmony, and comfort in reciting the Chaplet, experiencing it as a source of spiritual strength.

• Intercession for Specific Intentions: While the Chaplet has general intentions, individuals often pray it for personal needs, family members, the Church, and the world, believing in the powerful intercession of St. Michael and the angels.

The Chaplet is often prayed on specific days, such as Thursdays, and is considered a powerful devotion for spiritual warfare and personal sanctification.
