Prayer For Help Against Spiritual Enemies

Prayer For Help Against Spiritual Enemies

Glorious Saint Michael, Prince of the heavenly hosts, who stands always ready to give assistance to the people of God; who fought with the dragon, the old serpent, and cast him out of heaven, and now valiantly defends the Church of God that the gates of hell may never prevail against her, I earnestly entreat you to assist me also, in the painful and dangerous conflict which I sustain against the same formidable foe.
Be with me, O mighty Prince! that I may courageously fight and vanquish that proud spirit, whom you, by the Divine Power, gloriously overthrew, and whom our powerful King, Jesus Christ, has, in our nature, completely overcome; so having triumphed over the enemy of my salvation, I may with you and the holy angels, praise the clemency of God who, having refused mercy to the rebellious angels after their fall, has granted repentance and forgiveness to fallen man. Amen.

About humility and not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less ... Today Catholics commemorate St. Bernard who died in 1153. He was all about a very disciplined monastic life but he ended up travelling far and wide to preach the Gospel of reconciliation. You might think a guy like that would be all about what he was doing.

But this is what he was about:

Love looks for no cause outside itself. Its profit lies in its practice.
I love because I love, I love that I may love.
Love is a great thing so long as it continually returns to its fountainhead, flows back to its source, always drawing from there the water which constantly replenishes it.
Not bad, huh?
May Love wash over us and through us and may those we meet encounter not us but the Love which moves us -- in the Name of that Love we pray.
