Too often we ignore the powerful resource of St. Michael and our own guardian angels. Sometimes we have to be touched like this and like doubting Thomas before we fully grasp.

After the Mass: Pardon any typos

The wording in the vernacular varies a bit depending on the source.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, o' Prince of the Heavenly Host by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

The wording in Latin is constant: Pardon the lack of Latin accent marks.

Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur; tuque, Princeps militiae coelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionenm animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.

Thanks, I love it...gave me chills.

Nice story and all but where in my NT Bible can I find a commandment or an example of someone praying to a dead person?

Jesus gave us an example of prayer and it wasn't to Micheal or anyone else for that matter.

I think we are supposed to pray to God.

Nice story. Thanks for posting.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of Battle; Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

Matthew 6:9  ¶After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11  Give us this day our daily bread.

12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Ping. Is there anyone who knows where to find the actual prayer referred to in the article?

The Story of Michael

Fascinating, LOTI

Great story; a needed, refreshing break to interrupt the reading of so many non-uplifting (could it be... Sataaan?!) daily articles.  Thank you and FReegards!

Came here from the Rosary For Pope Benedict thread. I was just thinking, this is the guardian we call for to protect His Holiness.
Cartainly I can see Saint Michael, Protector of the Human Race, tall, resplendent, armed with sword, in the dress blues of a United States Marine, needed now more than ever!

Michael, Michael of the morning,
Fresh chord of Heaven adorning,
Keep me safe today,
And in time of temptation
Drive the devil away.
Amen.
