St. Michael the Archangel
O St. Michael,
You who saw the fear in my eyes when strength struggled, comfort my distress.
You who showed how hard strength fights, stand by me as I face a broken world and all the evils seeking to own it.
You who felt my little body tense with protective instincts, guide me as I choose how to fight.
No matter the numbers and force, help me stand for mercy and justice.
Lead me as I face the battle of life.
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel:
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense 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.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us!
J.M.J.
