We are striving against the demon, and we need to be armed with all the tools God has given us in order to withstand and overcome the onslaught of the evil one.
We need to go to confession frequently. We need to assist at Mass anywhere and anyway we can. We need to commit ourselves to daily rosary and/or the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. We need to step up and give ourselves to corporate works of mercy.
Immediately we need to start saying the "St. Michael the Archangel" prayer at the end of every Mass everywhere in our country. We must do it.
This is of course what our bishops should have said in Dallas but they didn't ask this Irish mom to advise them.
I LIKE St. Michael! Have you noticed how angels have been so 'feminized' in the last 20 years? In the Bible, whenever an angel appears, what are his first words? FEAR NOT! Well I don't think he'd have to say that if he looked like some of the Victorian confections we see all over the place at Christmas. They may have their place in interior design, but not in the realm of the truly spiritual. The Archangels are there especially as WARRIORS, and we need to ask for their help as much as possible, because we are truly in a battle with the Devil for the Soul of the Church and all her people.
