Prayer to Saint Micheal the Arch Angel

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.

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,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

And if I say that all war is hell, and that we are at war with Satan, I must also say that Jesus’ love for us shines most brightly in our perception when the hell is at it’s absolute worst, for then we see Jesus get to work as at no other time on our souls, forging us into His soldiers to do battle with Him, a battle of truth and goodness and kindness, which is always confronted and rejected by this world, no matter what our circumstances happen to be. But this is exactly how Jesus gets us right to heaven. Our job is only to be in humble thanksgiving for what we learn in the midst of hell, for what we learn when we see Jesus, with ineffable majesty, reach through the hell to grab us. Please, continue to pray daily, particularly for Pornchai.
