Please check in to my site now and then, as I will be editing and adding to it periodically, and I will be adding video and reading various Christians texts, such as Holy Scripture. I will also be reading the words of Church Saints, Church Doctors & other texts, which can inspire and help one recollect the power and peace of The Holy Trinity, as a great help in continuing on the path of Christian Perfection.
In 1886 St. Leo XIII directed the Catholic Church to pray the following prayer at all low Masses. It has a history since then, which you may look up and read about: however, in 2018 Pope Francis reintroduced essentially this same prayer, word for word, at certain times.
Saint Michael’s prayer:
|
Sancte
Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen.[3] |
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 power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.[4] |
