"Understanding that this prayer is about spiritual warfare against Satan, might I finish by reinforcing the importance of remaining firm in the truth and love of God. While the St. Michael Prayer contains strong language, the praying of this prayer includes the great blessing of calling upon that great archangel who is seen in the Book of Revelation already carrying on this very battle on our behalf. Our conscious praying of this prayer unites us even more to the Lord’s side in this battle, enlisting St. Michael to defend and protect us. Said another way, when we pray the St. Michael Prayer, we are consciously accepting that God Himself is truth and love, seeking as we are to be defended and protected against all that is wicked and evil. Such prayer has real power to inspire us in trusting that God will aid us in every temptation and that He will come to the aid of all souls, restoring and preserving us from sin and death while inflicting upon Satan and all fallen angels their final defeat – giving victory to those meant for eternal life: that is, the victory over sin and death that is offered to every human being.
