28 of 33 Day Consecration to St. Michael
Day 28
Begginers Prayer
Having made the Sign of the Cross and
kneeling preferably before the
Blessed Sacrament or the image of
Saint Michael the Archangel,
raising your heart to God, who is present,
and bowing deeply in spirit,
you will say every day:
Act of Contrition
My Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man,
I am heartily sorry for having
offended You; I firmly resolve never to sin again,
to abstain from all occasions
of sin, to go to confession and do penance.
I offer You, Lord, my life, works,
and labors in satisfaction for all my sins.
Amen.
Daily Prayer:
Lord God of heaven and earth, God of Angels,
Archangels, and Principalities; God of Powers,
Virtues, and Dominions; God of Thrones,
Cherubim, and Seraphim;
who ceaselessly praise and bless
Your Holy Name and fulfill the commands of
Your sovereign Majesty, surrounding
Your exalted Throne, and offering You,
as a sweet-smelling aroma,
the incense of our prayers,
which we now address to You,
we humbly beg You to accept.
We beseech You,
through the glory and intercession
of the glorious Saint Michael,
that You deign to grant us Your assistance,
and keep us safe from the snares,
deceits, and power of Satan and
all infernal spirits.
May God arise, and may His enemies
be destroyed through Jesus Christ,
Our Lord. Amen.
Day 28
SAINT MICHAEL AT THE END OF THE WORLD
Point One
We read in the Revalation these consoling words concerning
the last days of the world: I saw another angel coming up
from the east, having the sign of the living God.
And he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who had
been given authority to harm the earth and the sea,
saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees
until we have marked the servants of God on their foreheads."
By this angel who forbids harming God's chosen ones,
the saints understand the most glorious Archangel Michael.
Admire the sweet concern of this standard-bearer of God,
as the Church calls him, who will arrange what is necessary
so that the good will not be confused with the bad.
On that terrible day, Saint Michael, assisting Elijah,
will help him to achieve the conversion of the heretics, the
Jews, and all those who allow themselves to
be led astray in those last times by the Antichrist
and his followers. Until the very last moment, Saint Michael
will be the help and protection of the people of God.
Rekindle your trust and earn with your piety the protection
of the great Archangel for the final hour.
Point Two
The last wicked one on earth, the son of evil,
who is known as the Antichrist, will be fought and
crushed by the Prince Saint Michael,
glorious ruler and victor of the first wicked one who rose up
in Heaven against his God and Lord.
The Prince of the angelic armies, who,
in defense of the glory of the Lord,
the Incarnation of the Word, and the admirable Motherhood
of the Immaculate Mary,
first made that enthusiastic cry resound in Heaven:
"Who is like God?" will cause the same triumphant
acclamation to resound throughout the earth,
as the final expression of God's power,
that same triumphant acclamation that will
crush Lucifer and all his followers,
dragging them back to hell forever.
Examine your conscience and strive to live in such a
way that on that terrible day you will not be confused with
the reprobates, but glorified with the elect.
Example
The holy Doctor of the Church, St. Bede the Venerable,
tells us in his history of England that,
while Saint Wilfrid was gravely ill in the year 705,
the glorious Saint Michael appeared to him,
showering him with heavenly consolation.
The holy Archangel, moved by Wilfrid's suffering,
miraculously cured him of his illness.
To this great favor, he added another no less remarkable one.
Before parting from Wilfrid,
Saint Michael said to him: "In four years,
I will return to seek your soul and take it with me to Heaven."
And so it happened. Four years later, Saint Wilfrid died,
and Saint Michael came at the hour of their deaths to
receive his soul and lead it to Paradise.
Final Prayer for Every Day
O God, our refuge and strength!
We supplicantly implore your mercy,
so that through the intercession of the ever-
Immaculate Virgin and our Mother, Mary,
and of the glorious Saint Michael the Archangel,
you may deign to help us against Satan and all other
unclean spirits who infest the world for the
harm of mankind and the ruin of souls.
Cast them into the abyss and remove them
from us forever. Amen.
