St Michael – The Archangel

Michael, or ‘Who is like unto God’. Such was the cry of the great Archangel when he drove out the rebel Lucifer in the conflict of the heavenly hosts and from that hour he has been known as ‘Michael’, the captain of the armies of God, the type of divine fortitude, the champion of every faithful soul in strife with the powers of evil.

Thus he appears in Holy Scripture as the guardian of the children of Israel, their comfort and protector in times of sorrow or conflict.

It is he who prepares for their return from the Persian captivity, who leads the valiant Maccabees to victory and who rescues the body of Moses from the envious grasp of the Evil One. And since Christ’s coming, the Church has ever venerated St. Michael as her special patron and protector. She invokes him by name in her confession of sin, summons him to the side of her children in the agony of death and chooses him as their escort from the flames of purgatory to the realms of holy light.

Lastly when the end time is here, it is Michael who will unfurl once more the standard of the Cross, sound the last trumpet and binding together the false prophet and the beast, hurl them for all eternity in the burning pool.
