The various readings from the Liturgy of the Hours and the mass today make clear that the Archangel Michael is a warrior, a defender of heaven against Satan and evil (Revelation 12:1-17, Office of Readings). Michael is presented as &#8220;the great prince, guardian of your people,&#8221; who will lead the people of God in escape from the time of distress (Daniel 12:1, Midmorning Prayer). Along with Archangel Gabriel, who announces very important messages, and Archangel Raphael, who offers God&#8217;s healing, Archangel Michael is understood to be one of the &#8220;seven spirits before [God&#8217;s] throne&#8221; (Revelation 1:4-5, Evening Prayer). His name means &#8220;Who is like God?&#8221; and he lives to pr<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">otect the holiness of God. No one is like God. No one but God is God. Archangel Michael assists in keeping that reality clear &#8211; unholy pretenders will not stand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thus prayers for the protection of St. Michael have been popular over the ages. At the seminary where I work, the school community has prayed a prayer of St. Michael each day after Morning Prayer since 2018, when Pope Francis <a href=\"http:\/\/press.vatican.va\/content\/salastampa\/en\/bollettino\/pubblico\/2018\/09\/29\/180929d.html\">requested that the faithful pray<\/a> the rosary daily, asking the Blessed Mother and St. Michael to protect the Church from the devil. While the pope&#8217;s 2018 request came at the time of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americamagazine.org\/faith\/2018\/09\/29\/pope-calls-catholics-pray-protect-church-devil\">renewed awareness of sexual abuse<\/a> in the Church (see his related letter <a href=\"http:\/\/w2.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/letters\/2018\/documents\/papa-francesco_20180820_lettera-popolo-didio.html\">here<\/a>), earlier he also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/speeches\/2013\/july\/documents\/papa-francesco_20130705_statua-san-michele.html\">consecrated the Vatican<\/a> to St. Michael and St. Joseph in 2013, and has reiterated encouragement of devotion to St. Michael, including in words this week to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/pope-francis-asks-order-to-keep-spreading-devotion-to-st-michael-the-archangel-55304?fbclid=IwAR2xyh1qKcN7aB9IQtPxUzk6rl_ARbQQvztBqf1w8lEkHkhl1HF69GiUCO8\">Michaelite Fathers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At Saint Meinrad, we pray the following prayer text:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>O glorious prince Saint Michael,<br \/>\nchief and commander of the heavenly hosts,<br \/>\nguardian of souls,<br \/>\nvanquisher of rebel spirits,<br \/>\nservant in the house of the Divine King<br \/>\nand our admirable conductor;<br \/>\nYou who shine with superhuman virtue;<br \/>\ndeliver us from all evil,<br \/>\nwho turn to you with confidence;<br \/>\nand enable us by your gracious protection<br \/>\nto serve God more and more faithfully every day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This particular prayer comes from the conclusion to the <a href=\"https:\/\/uploads.weconnect.com\/mce\/d9935e84bd763cd4b8be14cb7861f1266f659f31\/The%20Chaplet%20of%20St%20Michael.pdf\">Chaplet of St. Michael<\/a>, approved by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1851.
