A prayer with St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend me in spiritual battle and intercede for my protection. By God’s power, help me reject fear, temptation, and every influence that draws me away from Christ. Guard my home and family, and lead us in truth, humility, and peace. Amen.
