St. Michael the Archangel Prayer

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 all the evil spirits

Who wander through the world

Seeking the ruin of souls.  Amen

Prayers for Vocations
Prayer For Vocations

Lord, Jesus Christ, You are the Savior of the world. Please manifest in Your church, the Spirit whom You abundantly bestowed on Your apostles. Call many to the priesthood and religious life. May zeal for Your glory and for the salvation of the world inflame those You have chosen. May they be saints in Your likeness. May Your Holy Spirit strengthen them. May they be priests and religious according to Your own Heart. Amen
