PARISHIONERS REQUESTED TO PREPARE
FOR RECITATION OF NOVENA TO
SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
The Saint Ignatius of Loyola Military Ministry is sponsoring a Novena to Saint Michael the Archangel in support of our Service personnel, our Nation and world peace from April 26th to May 4th. The prayers are to be recited for nine days at your convenience. Because of the uncertainties associated with the response to Covid-19, the closing service at the Shrine Church is once again cancelled this year. All nine days of prayer can be observed within the continues of your own home. Please join us in prayer for the blessing, safety and protection of our Military and their families.
Prayer to Saint Michael Novena
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 may thou, O prince of the heavenly hosts,
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
Prayer for Those in Service
Lord Jesus, Savior of the World and King of Peace,
watch over our sons and daughters in the service of
their country. Protect them from the physical and
moral dangers of military life. Keep them close to You
and help them live the Commandments.
Lord Jesus, give them courage to serve their country
with honor and dignity. Be with them when they are in
danger; strengthen them when they face hardships.
Above all Lord, grant that when their service is
finished they may return to us, sound in mind, body and soul.
Amen.
Prayer for Our Country
Heavenly Father,
Send forth Your Spirit to heal our land, and calm our
fears. Hold in Your arms all who have been affected by
senseless violence. Heal the hearts and minds of all who
have been scarred by hate. Welcome into the peace of
Your Kingdom all those who have died. May the light of
Christ shine forth through your faithful people and
become a beacon of hope. May the justice and peace
that only You can bring, reign in our hearts and in the world.
Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace…
Saint Patrick, pray for us.
Saint Michael, pray for us.
