Michaelmas

 


It's the Feast of St. Michael and all Angels today, so here's a prayer:


Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in 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 hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

 

Those who feel they can go against angelic power with impunity might want to think again.

Defende nos,

LSP

Thanks for this, reminded me of Jude 1:9 when Michael was contending with the devil, said "The Lord rebuke you."...employing the power of God instead of himself.

Yes indeed, Paul. And I'm reminded of, "I saw Satan fall from the sky like lightning."
