Who is St. Michael?

• WHEN God created the angels, those beautiful
  spirits of light and love which surround His
  heavenly throne in great numbers, He gave them
  wonderful gifts of holiness, beauty and wisdom.

3

• One of the greatest of the archangels was
  Lucifer, whose name means "bearer of light." He
  was proud of his power and wanted to be
  worshipped instead of worshipping God, his
  Creator.  He cried out loudly, "I will not serve
  God!"

4

• Another great archangel set up his battle cry of
  love and obedience "Michael - Who is like God"
  In a great battle, the good angels, led by
  Michael, cast the bad angels into hell.

  Archangel Michael prince of all the heavenly
  armies.

  Testament he is the guardian angel and the
  protector of the Catholic Church.

With Our Lord and Our Mother let St. Michael
protect you
St. Michael the Archangel, Defend us in
battle. Be our protection, Against the malice and
snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, We
humbly pray. And do thou O Prince of the Heavenly
Host, By the divine power, Cast into hell, Satan,
and all the other evil spirits, Who roam through
the world, Seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
