(for more information scroll down) ST MICHAEL the ARCHANGEL
In Normandy St. Michael is the patron of mariners in his famous sanctuary at Mont-Saint-Michel in the Diocese of Coutances. St. Michael's color is blue. Feast day, September 29th. + PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL The story of how the prayer was written by Pope Leo XIII: 'After celebrating Mass, the Holy Father was conferring with his cardinals. Suddenly, he fell to the floor. The cardinals immediately called for a doctor. No pulse was detected, and the Holy Father was feared dead. Just as suddenly, Pope Leo awoke and said, "What a horrible picture I was permitted to see!" In this vision, God gave Satan the choice of one century in which to do his worst work against the Church. The devil chose the 20th century. This vision moved him to composed the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. for more information, visit any of the links below: DEFEND US - PROTECT US PRINCE OF HEAVENLY HOSTS also see PRAYERS AND NOVENA SHOPPING CART - MORE LINKS |

So these little 'Niner' chaplets with 3 sets of 3 beads have been around a long time, they have a history. Its more than just a tradition, as it appears, they also carried certain indulgences. Why such a large medal? We were inspired by pieces we saw in an antique shop in Munich several years ago that carried larger medals and reliquaries. We see the smaller medals more often these days and they are easier to keep in a pocket, but for home or altar use, the larger ones open up a moment of visual history that gifts us with a sense of a long lineage of prayer partners in the Communion of Saints. A beautiful medal for deep meditation and prayer for not only our sons and daughters but our grandchildren. + ... SPIRITUAL BATTLE ... "May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle we are told about in the Letter to the Ephesians: "Draw strength from the Lord and from His mighty power" (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid recollection of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he introduced a special prayer to St. Michael throughout the Church. + "Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world." Pope John Paul II (St. Peter's Square, Sunday, April 24 1994) |

When we were trying to complete this page on Nov 8, we had something happen. Our new computer simply died. Died! It would not start. Tried all the tricks that normally work and - nothing. 'Well', I thought, 'St Michael, it is pretty obvious to me that some one does not want this page to go up! And that someone is the devil.'. It was a bit obvious - but there was an answer beyond our ability - so I prayed. And the answer was there. 'Call Michael' I missed the point so I prayed to St Michael and said ," I did pray to you, St Michael'. 'Call Michael' , I heard again. 'Oh - Mike, of course!" So I blessed myself and crossed my fingers, dialed the number for our ISP and Mike Nuttal answered (I never get him on the phone, he is always either on call or busy). He was over in minutes - and he worked miracles with unknown buttons and we were up and running again. ' Some kind of weird fluke', he said, 'probably won't happen again.' Thanks Mike! (Both of you)

BUMPS ...
