Inspired by St. Paul the Apostle
Dear St. Michael the Brave,
As the great warrior angel,
You are ready for the spiritual battle,
Always sober, vigilant, and alert;
Then, in the midst of black terror,
You slay the red dragon of fear,
And brandish the sword of the Spirit,
The wondrous Word of God;
Teach us to draw our strength
From the Lord and His mighty power,
So that we too may be transformed into
Courageous soldiers of Jesus Christ,
The King of the Universe.
Amen.
