Saint Michael Novena

Glorious Saint Michael,
guardian and defender
of the Church of Jesus Christ,
come to the assistance of His followers,
against whom the powers of hell are unchained.
Guard with special care our Holy Father,
the Pope, and our bishops, priests,
all our religious and lay people,
and especially the children.

Saint Michael,
watch over us during life,
defend us against the assaults of the demon,
and assist us especially at the hour of death.
Help us achieve the happiness
of beholding God face to face
for all eternity.

Amen.
Dear friends and family,
Please pray along with us this novena and please recommend our intentions and we will be recommending all of yours. Thank you!

Saint Michael Novena

Saint Michael,
intercede for me with God
in all my necessities,
especially

(State your intention here...)

Obtain for me a favourable outcome
in the matter I recommend to you.
Mighty prince of the heavenly host,
and victor over rebellious spirits,
remember me for I am weak and sinful
and so prone to pride and ambition.
Be for me, I pray,
my powerful aid in temptation and difficulty,
and above all do not forsake me
in my last struggle with the powers of evil.

Amen.

I'm so glad you posted this novena! I will pray for your intentions - please pray for mine.

My husband is out of work again, (this mortgage industry is awful) so he's looking for something else. In the meantime we have to break our lease because we can't pay rent, and we'll be living back with my parents in a little "out-building" (don't worry it's actually in better shape than this house we're renting at the moment, we just found a 4 in wide hole in the floor under the carpet that's actually open to the outside - it runs the whole length of the dining room!). I'm just glad we're not going to be on the street - now we just need to get most of our stuff into storage in the next couple of weeks. Thankfully our piano teacher is going to give my son a "scholarship" until we get back on our feet again - so that's a huge relief...

Peace be with you and yours,
~Jenny
