His name, from the Hebrew Mikha'el-meaning "Who is like God?"-was the war cry of the good angels in the battle fought in Heaven against the rebellious angels.

'But I will tell thee what is set down in the scripture of truth: and none is my helper in all these things but Michael your prince."

"Michael shall rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people; and a time shall come such as never was from time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one found written in the book."

"Michael is the breath of the Redeemer's spirit, who will, at the end of the world, combat and destroy Antichrist, as he did Lucifer in the beginning."-St. Thomas Aquinas

'O glorious Prince St. Michael, Chief and commander of the Heavenly Host, Guardian of souls, Vanquisher of rebel spirits, Servant in the House of the Divine King, and our admirable conductor, thou who dost shine with excellence and superhuman virtue, vouchsafe to deliver us from all evil, who turn to thee with confidence, and enable us, by thy gracious protection, to serve God more and more faithfully every day.'

'Pray for us O Glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ, that we may be made worthy of His promises, Amen'

You have my attention! St. Michael the Archangel -- Thank you for the complete post with the prayers.

I have certainly invoked St. Michael's name many times during the past year. I have thought many times that we are battling a hateful spirit and that I was more than inadequate by myself.

I try to stay away from the controversy, to read the posts and learn. I pray for those who are fighting the battle eloquently but then I see things which have to be addressed that I as a Catholic Christian cannot let stand and there I go again.
