The prayer to St Michael asks him to “defend us in battle against the wiles and wickedness of the devil, and do thou or Prince of the Heavenly Host, THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD, cast into hell Satan and all................”

This prayer is powerful and ultimately relies upon the power of God, who uses His angels and saints against the wickedness and snares of the devil and his cohorts.

Amen!

Amen??? Your branch of Catholicism won't let you read the bible either???

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

An angel isn't going to help much here...

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation,

These are all defensive weapons...There's only one offensive weapon:

and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

The bible is the ONLY thing you can successfully fight the devil with...Tradition??? Nope...Angels??? Nope...If you don't know the bible and know it well, you are going into battle unarmed...And there WILL be battles...
