About St. Michael the Archangel
(Hebrew "Who is like God?"). Find more books and videos.
St. Michael is one of the principal angels; his name was the war-cry of the good angels in the battle fought in heaven against the enemy and his followers. Four times his name is recorded in Scripture:
Daniel 10:13 sqq., Gabriel says to Daniel, when he asks God to permit the Jews to return to Jerusalem: "The Angel [D.V. prince] of the kingdom of the Persians resisted me . . . and, behold Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me . . . and none is my helper in all these things, but Michael your prince"
Following these Scriptural passages, Christian tradition gives to St.
Michael four offices:
* To fight against Satan.
* To rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially
at the hour of death.
* To be the champion of God's people, the Jews in the Old Law, the Christians
in the New Testament; therefore he was the patron of the Church, and of the
orders of knights during the Middle Ages.
* To call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment ("signifer
S. Michael repraesentet eas in lucam sanctam", Offert. Miss Defunct. "Constituit
eum principem super animas suscipiendas", Antiph. off. Cf. "Hermas",
Pastor, I, 3, Simil. VIII, 3).
