Happy Feast Day of Archangels!
Church Year September 29th, 2004
Today is the feast day of Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the archangels. So, happy feasting! I have included the wonderful prayer to St. Michael:
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
A fine site for more on the history of this prayer.
