My Guardian Angel

December 20 1953, Sunday

St. Michael is the Commander-in-Chief of all the hierarchies of the Heavenly Hosts. He is usually known
as the Angel who defeated Lucifer and his followers in the first rebellion of creatures against God. By his
battlecry: "Mi-ca-El" which means "Who is like unto God?", he was named Michael. He is the first
defender of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Mystery of the Incarnation. He is usually associated with the
miracles manifesting the almighty power of God with the Blessed Virgin Mary. (Dan. 10:12; 12:1; Apoc.
12:7).

Reflections

1) How strong is my faith in God?

2) Do I firmly believe that He constantly watches me in all my undertakings?

3) Do I reject sin and all the works, promises and influence of Satan?

4) Do I commit myself faithfully to Jesus Christ by serving and loving my neighbors?

Novena to the Archangels

O Mighty Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, St. Michael, I beg you to protect and defend us in all struggles
against the everyday temptations in this world. Help me to overcome all evils and strengthen me, that I
may declare my faith in and loyalty to the Most High so that together with all the angels and saints in
heaven I may glorify the Lord. St. Michael, please intercede for me together with the Blessed Virgin
Mary, and obtain for me the following requests __________.

Present to God the Father all these petitions through Jesus Christ our Lord together with the Holy Spirit
forever and ever. Amen.
