The Feast of St. Michael the Archangel



Take note, you heathen, it's the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel today. So here's a prayer:

Holy Michael, Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. 
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, 
O Prince of the heavenly host, 
by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits 
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. 
Amen.

God bless,

LSP

There he is, killing a flying monkey. I didn't get a good view, but it looks like Lester Holt's face on the statue of the vanquished. I'm sure that if Hillary walked by the statue, she'd hiss at it.

Hunh, you're right! That is Lester's face. Spotted.

May Michael and his angels prevail.

Amen! Wonderful post, Parson! Wish I'd remembered! Honor to the kick-ass commander of the heavenly warriors!

The Catholic version of the Prayer to St Michael was my favorite prayer growing up. It probably still is. Short. To the point. And badass (if a prayer can be badass).

LSP said...

Thanks, Linda. You too!

LSP said...

Amen to that, Euripides.

LSP said...

Thanks, Grunt. Patron saint of paratroopers, interestingly.

A powerful prayer for sure, Theodore. Defende nos...
