November 21st

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, I honor you as a powerful protector of the Church and guardian of my soul. Inspire me with your humility, courage and strength that I may reject sin and perfect my love for our Heavenly Father.

In your strength and humility, slay the evil and pride in my heart so that nothing will keep me from God.

St. Michael the Archangel, pray that I may be blessed by God with the zeal to live my life in accordance with Christ’s teachings.

St. Michael the Archangel, you are the prince of angels but in your humility you recognized that God is God and you are but His servant. Unlike satan, you were not overcome with pride but were steadfast in humility. Pray that I will have this same humility.

It is in the spirit of that humility that I ask for your intercession for Bishop Joseph Strickland.  I pray for you to accompany and protect him as he lives out  the mission given to him by God and the Church. 

May Bishop be surrounded by all the Holy Angels. May they tend to him during this time of great loss. May they inspire, protect and strengthen him as he finds his way without his beloved Diocese of Tyler.   

I pray for our Blessed Mother to comfort Bishop in this time of uncertainty. May she continue to assist him as he seeks the Will of God and continues to defend the true faith.

May a fire of love burn in the hearts of all the bishops of our country. May their hearts  be ignited by the Holy Spirit and purified. May they be consumed with a burning desire to live only for Christ and fulfill their God given Apostolic mission. 

May the bishops of our country be given the same courage as the first apostles were given; a willingness to lose everything for love of Jesus. May they even be willing to lose their lives to defend the Truth as handed down to them through the ages.

With grateful hearts, we thank you St Michael.  

“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.”

Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary,  pray for us.
