The Christian Church remembers God’s servants, the angels, on September 29. The festival is called “St. Michael and All Angels” because Michael is described in Scripture as the mighty prince or general over all the angels. See Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12:7.
O Lord, King Eternal,
send us your holy angels
to defend us in both soul and body.
Just as you have called us to share with them

may we follow their example
and do your will on earth as it is done in heaven;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
