The Chaplet was given to the devout, Antonia D'astonac,
in an apparition by St. Michael.
For those who pray the Chaplet in his honor, he promised
an escort of one angel from each of the choirs when
approaching Holy Communion.
For those who pray the Chaplet daily, he promised
his enduring assistance and that of all the holy angels
during their life, and after death, deliverance from Purgatory
for themselves and their relations.
