St. Michael the Archangel Prayer Protecting Us from Evil: A Real Blessing
A lot of Catholics say the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel! It is considered a very powerful prayer to protect us from the devil and all evil of this world. My spouse says we need to pray to ask that we are made invisible to the devil and all evil and be protected by St. Michael and his prayer and our God! I like to read about saints and good people. The story of St. Paul is amazing! The fact that God sent us angels to protect us is also a blessing and miracle. That is why I always love the show, Touched By an Angel. St. Michael is our angel from God that we can implore daily for protection. Say his prayer.
According to catholic.org they say: "Saint Michael the Archangel isn't a saint, but rather he is an angel, and the leader of all angels and of the army of God. This is what the title "Archangel" means, that he is above all the others in rank.
St. Michael has four main responsibilities or offices, as we know from scripture and Christian tradition.
The first is to combat Satan.
The second is to escort the faithful to heaven at their hour of death.
The third is to be a champion of all Christians, and the Church itself.
And the fourth is to call men from life on Earth to their heavenly judgment.
Very little is known about St Michael other than what we know from scriptures, which themselves are sparse.
In Daniel, St. Michael is mentioned twice. The first time as one who helped Daniel, and the second time he is mentioned with regard to the end times of the world when he will stand for the "children of thy people."
His next mention comes in the Epistle of St. Jude, where St. Michael is said to guard the tombs of Moses and Eve and has contended with Satan over the body of Moses.
The final mention is in Revelation, where St. Michael and his angels, do battle with the dragon."
St. Michael the Archangel's special day is September 29th; it is the Feast of St. Michael and also St. Gabriel and St. Raphael, and of All Angels, since of all the Angels who helped him win the Battle with Lucifer the Devil. St. Michael pray for us! Say his prayer daily!
