Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

Our diocese is asking us to pray the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after all Masses. 

​St. Michael the Archangel, 
defend us in battle. 
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, 
and do thou, 
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, 
thrust into hell Satan, 
and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world 
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

​Called To Prayer, Penance, and Reparation:

In light of the present crisis, Bishop Michael Warfel has declared the coming liturgical year as...  
​
A Year of Prayer, Penance and Reparation   December 2, 2018 to November 25, 2019 for sins committed against children and youth by clergy and religious. As members of the mystical body of Christ, the laity are asked to participate in the following ways:  

• All Catholics are invited to join in Friday prayer, fasting and abstinence or some other form of penance.
• All parishes are asked to pray the rosary for the healing of the Diocese and the Church universal.
• All households are asked to pray the rosary daily as families for the healing of the Church.
• All families are asked to share at least one weekly meal as a family at which the importance of mercy and healing is discussed.  Prayer cards and discussion questions will be provided.
• All parishes are asked to provide an opportunity for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
• The Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel is encouraged before or after Mass.
• The close of the Year of Prayer, Penance, and Reparation will be on November 25, 2019, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The bishop will celebrate a Mass at St. Ann's Cathedral, Great Falls.
