You Tube has many videos of this prayer with inspiring music and artwork of Michael. Do a search on Archabgel Michael.
I wondered why I’ve seen more than one post of this today.
We celebrated the feast of St. Michael today in my TLM parish.
Woe to the world because of scandals! For it must needs be that scandals come, but woe to the man through whom scandal does come!
(Excerpt from the feast’s godpel.)
We need him now more than ever!
No. The world needs Jesus. We don’t need any angel to save us, nor are we to pray to any angels. To think so, or to do so would be to ignore the whole of Scripture.
Link in Post 6 is for my favorite Archangel Michael short video, 6 min long with artwork.
You’re probably one of those people that don’t have any rosary beads, statues in your church and you probably wouldn’t even kneel down and kiss the Popes ring, am I right?
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
I’m a Protestant, and I’m ignoring him/her. Full disclosure: I’m considering joining the Church. I’ve been doing so for years now because it’s not an easy decision.
No.

Worthless prayer, and a violation of God’s word which says:
“There is but ONE MEDIATOR between man and God, the man Christ Jesus.”
“We dont need any angel to save us, nor are we to pray to any angels”
We ask GOD to send angels to minister to us. HE commands them.
Psalms 91:11-12
For HE will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
23.Psalms 103:20
Praise the LORD, you HIS angels, you mighty ones who do HIS bidding, who obey HIS word.
24.Psalms 103:21
Praise the LORD, all HIS heavenly hosts, you HIS servants who do HIS will.
Matthew 26:53
Do you think I cannot call on MY Father, and HI will at once put at MY disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
Luke 1:19
The angel answered, I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of GOD, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.
Luke 1:26
In the sixth month, GOD sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
Amen! Thank you!
I guess you haven’t had an angel knock you down so you couldn’t cross the street and be hit by a car.
Or an angel that stood by the bedise of your dying relative.
I feel sorry that you shut your eyes to oangels. They are there — you may just choose not to see or feel them.
BINGO, Catholics evidently do not actually READ the Bible. I guess they don’t have to as the “church” tells them how to think. I’m not saying they are lost, just ignorant.
“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle -—”
That’s the opening line of the “prayer” so you can’t really expect to get away with changing the imperative to “we ask God...”
Look at 2 Tim 2:15. Study God’s Word. Understand it. And use it properly.
May God bless you.
“I guess you havent had an angel knock you down so you couldnt cross the street and be hit by a car.”
My sister actually saw two angels guarding her door one time. They are real. We all have guardian angels.
However, we don’t pray to them. We ask GOD to send them to help us. GOD knows whenever we need angel assistance when we are unaware of the need. HE commands them.
