A Moleben to the Holy Archangel Michael is always sung on Wednesday eves at my parish St. Michael's Orthodox Church in Pueblo,CO.

O dread captain of the hosts of heaven,intercessor for all at the throne of Christ the Master,steadfast protector of all men and wise warrior,mighty general of the heavenly King,have mercy on me a sinner who am in need of thine assistance;protect me from all enemies visible and invisible,and still more,fortify me against the fear of death and the troubling of the devils; and vouschafe me to stand unashamed before our Creator at the hour of His dread and righteous Judgement.

O most holy and great Michael, supreme commander,disdain me not a sinner who entreat thee for help and aid in this world and that which is to come, but vouschafe me there to glorify with thee the Father,and the Son,and the Holy Spirit,unto the ages of ages.Amen.

That really is a beautiful prayer, IGNATIUS! I can't imagine how beautiful and magnificent St.Michael is.

Thanks, IGNATIUS. The devotion of Eastern Christians to St. Michael is truly wonderful. Beautiful in song, and beautiful in art.

Lady in Blue, that's a great story. Who is Fr. William Wagner? And why does his name sound so familiar to me - was he ever in NYC?
