Prayer Spotlight: St. Michael the Archangel

Hello,

Today’s post is going to be a brief collection of links interspersed with my commentary because I think they contain material which is important for everyone to read! Also, the history behind the St. Michael the Archangel Prayer is fascinating and pertinent to the times in which we live.  Final Commentary Logo

Here is an excellent piece written by Fr. William Saunders about St. Michael, and which mentions the St. Michael Prayer. Here is the text of the St. Michael Prayer from EWTN. Here is the link for a post, which speaks more about the St. Michael Prayer in particular from Church Militant. They give a lot of fascinating history.

I hope that you all enjoy reading these. The St. Michael Prayer is one of my favorite, and I am attempting to learn it in Latin at the moment. Catholic Answers has a fascinating article on their site which dissects some of the original Latin of the prayer and provides some more insight into the meaning of the Latin. I highly encourage reading this! It is available here.

God bless you all! And please – begin to pray the St. Michael prayer for the Church in our days.

Commentary

Prayer in the Midst of the Storm

Hello everyone,

In light of the recent information released in regard to the abuse crisis within the Final Commentary LogoChurch, I would like to take a brief moment to ask all of you to offer a rosary for the Church and her leadership in this time. If any of you are unaware of the facts in this matter, I would urge you to take a look at this blog post from Father Z. The Church is suffering, greatly suffering from corruption from within. We must, all of us, pray as we have never done before. We must ask God to show His mercy to His Church and cleanse it of corruption. For my part, I intend to continue praying the 54 Day Rosary Novena, offering it up in part for the cleansing of the Church. I also intend to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Whatever you do, please make sure that prayer is foremost on the list. May God bless all of you.
