St. Michael the Archangel
 |
“The
Fathers of the Church are of one mind in teaching that St. Michael
is the Guardian Angel and Protector of the Catholic Church."
St. Thomas says, “Michael
is the breath of the Redeemer's Spirit who at the end of the World
will combat and destroy the Antichrist as he did Lucifer in the
beginning. Blessed Pope John Paul II said: "... to implore
the Spirit. The Lord is bringing the Church and the World to its
knees."
The
world situation tells us that we are on a collision course, - economically,
politically, spiritually and especially in the education of our
children. Blessed Anne Emmerich is said to have had visions of past
and future combat of the Church. She was shown how in the present
day struggles of the Church, St. Michael the Archangel would bring
about a most glorious victory.
St. Michael, “Vicar of the Most High and Prince of His people",
is always ready to render assistance.
We must pray for an end to the prevailing moral evils in our world
today. We must pray to St. Michael, to Our Lady Queen of Angels,
go to Holy Mass and Adoration of the Holy Eucharist! We must encourage
others to do the same.
It is time to encourage our priests and fellow parishioners
to pray the prayer to St. Michael after every Low Mass, as did Pope
Leo XIII in the past when times were very troubled.

Our world will never
be amended without prayer and penance, Eucharistic Adoration,
Holy Mass, the Holy Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and prayer
to Our Lady Queen of the Angels. May God bless you and Our World
today.
Please encourage everyone to pray often the "Prayer to
St. Michael the Archangel."
Saint 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 Divine Power
of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout
the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
