St Michael the Archangel is one of my favourite Saints So I thought I would post a prayer invoking his help O glorious ST Michael, prince of the heavenly host who art ready to assist the people of God ; Who fought with the Dragon, the old serpent And cast him out of Heaven,and now dost valiantly Defend the Church of God so that the gates of hell may never prevail against her: I earnestly entreat Thee to assist me also in the painful and dangerous conflict I must sustain against the same formidable foe. Be with me, O Mighty Prince! That I may courageously fight and wholly vanquish that proud spirit whom thou, by the divine power, have overthrown, and whom our powerful King, Jesus Christ, in our nature so completely overcame; so that triumphing over the enemy of my salvation , I may with me and the Holy Angels, praise the clemency of God, who though refusing mercy to the rebellious angels after their fall, has granted repentance and forgiveness to fallen man Amen
