Angels everywhere

Tomorrow is the Feast of the Archangels: Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Make your day an angelic one with these fun crafts and prayers:

• First stop, Paper Dali for a printable St. Michael the Archangel paper doll.
• Next, head over to Our Domestic Church for chocolate kiss angel candy favors. Keep these in mind for Christmas too!
• Then visit the Human Life International Saint Michael Prayer Campaign. If you haven’t already, join the campaign and sign the pledge to pray for the conversion of abortionists. While you are there, download and print their beautiful holy card.
• Last stop, The Saint Michael the Archangel Organization where a special novena for unborn babies is being held September 29 through October 7. The novena begins on the feast of the Archangels ends on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

A Prayer to Saint Michael
Saint Michael, 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, thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

A Prayer to Saint Gabriel
Blessed Saint Gabriel, Archangel
We beseech thee to intercede for us at the throne of divine mercy:
As thou didst announce to Mary the mystery of the Incarnation,
so through thy prayers may we receive strength of faith and
courage of spirit, and thus find favor with God and redemption through Christ Our Lord.
May we sing the praise of God our Savior with the angels and saints in heaven
forever and ever. Amen.

A Prayer to Saint Raphael
Blessed Saint Raphael, Archangel,
We beseech thee to help us in all our needs and trials of this life,
as thou, through the power of God, didst restore sight and give guidance to young Tobit.
We humbly seek thine aid and intercession,
that our souls may be healed,
our bodies protected from all ills,
and that through divine grace we may be made fit
to dwell in the eternal Glory of God in heaven. Amen.
