Peace
be with you. Today we celebrated the Archangel St. Michael who cast Satan and
his followers from heaven. This is not a worship of St. Michael but simply
celebrating the casting of Satan and his minions out of heaven. There are two
blessings today.
May
God Who for our salvation makes use of the ministry of His angels, preserve you
by their protection, and strengthen us by their custodianship. Amen. May He
give you pure minds, and haste joining of bodies, Who assures their
equality to all of the elect. Amen. May He grant them most certain trust of His
eternity; may He Himself confirm you with the virtue of the
perseverance of faith, hope, and charity, and may He lead you unto their
society of blessedness. Amen. May He Whose Kingdom and Dominion remain without
end, be pleased to sustain us unto ages of ages. Amen. May the blessing of God:
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and the peace of the Lord be ever
with you. Amen.
May
the beginning of the light of the angels bless you, who He made His co-citizens
and consorts among the thrones of the highest. Amen. By whose ministrations
your life is protected on earth, so that freed from visible and invisible
enemies, you may be worthy to enter into eternal rewards. Amen. Joined in their
act of veneration, borne up by the aid of Archangel Michael whose memory we
celebrate today, most devotedly on the fertile lands, so that you may enjoy his
society in the heavens. Amen. May He Whose Kingdom and Dominion remain without
end, be pleased to sustain us unto ages of ages. Amen. May the blessing of God:
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and the peace of the Lord be ever
with you. Amen.
