Welcome: September 29 is the Feast of Archangel Michael. Yearly, on that day many Christian communities celebrate Michaelmas, or the Feast of St. Michael, St Gabriel, St Raphael, Archangel Uriel and All Angels.  It is celebrated to honor the Archangel Michael, a symbol of courage and the triumph of good over evil. It also historically marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of autumn, symbolizing the gathering of strength for the coming darker, colder days. Tonight, we pray to the archangels for courage and strength in our current dark times.

Prayer to Archangel Michael 

Archangel Michael, radiant guardian, be near me when shadows rise. Spread your wings of light around me, keep me safe from paths that wound. May the Holy One’s breath of love disperse all that would bind or harm. By the strength of heaven’s song, guide wandering spirits home, and turn each soul's steps toward peace. 

Archangel Michael, companion in courage, be with me when I falter; protect me from whatever draws me away from wholeness and love. heal and transform what brings harm. And you, leader of the heavenly host, with the power of Eternal Love, surround the world with light, so that no soul is lost, but all may find peace. Amen.  (by Mary Ann Matthys)

Prayer to Archangel Gabriel

O blessed Archangel Gabriel, You who were chosen by the Holy One to deliver the message of the Incarnation, and serve as the great messenger of divine wisdom, hear my prayer. I ask for your intercession and heavenly guidance, that I may clearly hear and understand God's voice, receive divine messages clearly, and follow Divine will in my life. Grant me the wisdom to communicate with clarity and truth, and the strength to transform my inner self, so that my words and actions may be for the good of all. Help me to overcome any obstacles or fog that clouds my mind, and reveal the hidden truths that will guide my steps. Fill me with courage, hope, and a tender love, and provide me with the strength and resolve to strive for holiness. Protect me and my loved ones from harm, and guide me on the path to spiritual peace and harmony. Amen

Prayer to St. Raphael the Archangel

O glorious Archangel, St. Raphael, You stand before the throne of the Holy One and are known as the "Medicine of God". I humbly ask for your intercession for my healing. Heal the infirmities of my soul and body, and restore my mind and spirit. Be a companion on my journey, guiding me with your wisdom and protecting me from all harm. Help me to find purity, peace, and a deeper connection to God. Through your powerful intercession, grant me the graces and blessings I need, and may your loving protection be with me always. Amen.

Prayer to Archangel Uriel

Archangel Uriel, I ask for your wisdom on [describe the situation you'd like illumination about]. I need as much information as possible so that I can clearly see the truth of the situation. Please help me make an informed decision by filling me in on all of the perspectives involved. Please help me clearly hear and understand this information and to be as open-minded as possible. I open my heart and mind to your divine presence and guidance. Fill me with your illuminating wisdom as I navigate my path. Help me to gain clarity in my decisions.

Note from Mary Ann: We often pray asking angels to help us, guide us or protect us. I invite us to also pray for the angels in gratitude. Consider writing a prayer honoring your angel and place it on your altar with a white candle.
