Day 5

What this is and is not

One plain day in the middle. Most trouble is not demonic. Illness is illness, depression is depression, a difficult person is usually just difficult, and reading every hard thing as spiritual attack is a way of avoiding the ordinary help that would work.

Take the medication. Go to the therapist. Get the lawyer. Michael is not an alternative to any of them, and treating him as one is the failure mode of this devotion.

Begin

Saint Michael the 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 the other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Today’s petition

St. Michael, keep me from dramatizing this, and get me to the help that is actually available.

Add your own intention here, in your own words. It is not stored anywhere.

Close

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
