Defend Us in Battle:  The Promises of St. Michael and the Heavenly Angels

The times are tough — we need the help of St. Michael and all the holy angels more than ever! Award-winning author Marge Steinhage Fenelon has written an excellent introduction to devotion to St. Michael, especially by praying the Chaplet of St. Michael.

The Archangel himself made three promises to all who faithfully pray the Chaplet in his honor: an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine choirs of angels when approaching Holy Communion; his continual assistance and that of all the angels throughout life; and, after death, deliverance from Purgatory for themselves and all their relations. The Chaplet includes nine salutations (like decades of the Rosary), each addressed to one of the choirs, and each asking for a particular grace.

We all should be concerned about the influences of evil because they are real. But we should never fear them because God is with us always and assists us through His grace and through His heavenly helpers, the Angels and Archangels. Discover the peace and security that lies in praying the Chaplet of St. Michael. Stand strong against sin, temptation, and the influence of evil and grow in holiness and wisdom.

May St. Michael and the Heavenly Angels guide and protect us always!
