St. Michael the Archangeldefend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard 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
that prowl about the world,
seeking the ruin of souls.
~Amen!
A word about the military symbolism in these representations: Anyone who has ever struggled to live the life of God and cried with Saint Paul, "I do the very things I hate!" can understand the need to fight against those powers that keep us from attaining all that God has in mind for us.
