Sophomores: II-St. MIchael
St. Michael, the Archangel
Feastday: September 29
Patron Saint of Grocers, Mariners, Paratroopers, Police, and Sickness
St. Michael, the Archangel - Feast day - September 29th The name Michael signifies "Who is like to God?" and was the warcry of the good angels in the battle fought in heaven against satan and his followers. Holy Scripture describes St. Michael as "one of the chief princes," and leader of the forces of heaven in their triumph over the powers of hell. He has been especially honored and invoked as patron and protector by the Church from the time of the Apostles. Although he is always called "the Archangel," the Greek Fathers and many others place him over all the angels - as Prince of the Seraphim. St. Michael is the patron of grocers, mariners, paratroopers, police and sickness.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL
GLORIOUS St. Michael,
Guardian and Defender
Of the Church of Jesus Christ,
Come to the assistance of the Church,
Against which the powers
Of hell are unchained.
Guard with special care
Her august head, the Pope,
And obtain that for him and for us
The hour of triumph
May speedily arrive.
O glorious St. Michael,
Watch over us during life,
Defend us
Against the assaults of the demon,
And assist us
Especially at the hour of death.
Obtain for us
A favorable judgment
And the happiness
Of beholding God face to face
For all eternity.
Amen.
