Prayer during the Month of October

Pope Francis has asked all of us in October to pray for the Church.  And not just the “institutional church”, but the whole People of God, all of us.  He is encouraging us to daily pray the Rosary and recite the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.  We all need prayers, and the Church does too, especially now. But at this moment especially, our prayers must be for healing and strength for those sexually abused within the Church and beyond.  Prayer for the Church is critical but it should not be a distraction.  Prayer alone is not enough, it should lead us to action and reform.  It is meant to change our hearts and bring us in line with what God wants us to be.  (Fr. Jack)

PRAYER TO ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. 
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, 
and do thou, 
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, 
thrust into hell Satan, 
and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world 
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
