"Let there be light!" September 29th is called Michaelmas Day, a holy day set aside to honor Archangel Michael. His name translates to "Who is Like God". He is called Saint Michael in the Christian churches and is the mighty warrior whose light triumphs over the darkness of negativity. Often Saint Michael is depicted with a sword, slaying a dragon. He is the powerful Archangel to invoke in our battles against negative energies. Archangel Michael helps us to find the light within ourselves. He will use his powerful sword to cut away any obstacles holding us back from achieving our God-given purpose.
The patron saint of policemen, soldiers, and small children, he also watches over pilgrims and strangers. He is the fiery warrior, Prince of the Heavenly Armies, who fights for right and justice and gives guidance to all who find themselves in dire straits.
(The Mont-Saint Michel in Normandy, France)
There is a legend that in the late 5th century the Archangel Michael appeared to fishermen on St. Michael's Mount in Normandy, France.
Michael is considered the greatest of all angels in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religions. He is known as the Holder of the Keys of Heaven and Chief of the Archangels, Angelic Prince of Israel, and Angel of the Burning Bush.
We can pray to Archangel Michael to help us whenever we find ourselves, fearful, overwhelmed, and alone.
We welcome and thank you, Archangel Michael, for all that you do to help set us free so we can be in service to the Light of God that never fails.
Love and peace,
Rae Karen
