Prayer For Help Against Spiritual Enemies

This coming election could well be a turning point in our history. We have witnessed a rejection of God, the natural law, and moral values over many years, but this year, we have seen a division growing ever wider - between those who value the good and those who wish to replace the good with evil.

We have witnessed the same division within the Church - or at least the attempt to divide the Mysical Body of Christ. There are many who are in the Church for no other reason than to poison her or to reshape her to their own liking. Many others are confused because of decades of lack of teaching by her bishops and priests. Many also pray that the Church may be purged of the festering abscesses which continue to affect the weak in faith or the ignorant 'believers'.

We know that 'the liar and father of lies, the murderer from the beginning' has tempted many in the Church and that many have fallen for his lies and promises. Please consider the following prayer to my patron Saint, the Saint I chose at Confirmation, to help us beseech the Holy Spirit to bring people back to the fold of Christ, in our efforts to instruct those who are in error, in our efforts to offer reparations for the many sins and sacrileges occurring every day.

We are approaching the end of the political campaigns, and our future and the future of our children and the world is at stake. Will there be more innocent children brutally torn apart and murdered or will the nation comes to its senses and return to its Christian roots and uphold what is right and just? Everyone, especially today and tomorrow, should be asking Almighty God to have mercy on us and to grant us His blessings by providing us leaders who will abide by His Word.

Glorious Saint Michael, Prince of the heavenly hosts, who stands always ready to give assistance to the people of God; who fought with the dragon, the old serpent, and cast him out of heaven, and now valiantly defends the Church of God that the gates of hell may never prevail against her, I earnestly entreat you to assist me also, in the painful and dangerous conflict which I sustain against the same formidable foe.

Be with me, O mighty Prince! that I may courageously fight and vanquish that proud spirit, whom you, by the Divine Power, gloriously overthrew, and whom our powerful King, Jesus Christ, has, in our nature, completely overcome; so having triumphed over the enemy of my salvation, I may with you and the holy angels, praise the clemency of God who, having refused mercy to the rebellious angels after their fall, has granted repentance and forgiveness to fallen man. Amen.
