Michael defeating the fallen angels, by Luca Giordano c. 1660–65
"When tempted, invoke your Angel. he is more eager to help you than you are to be helped! Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him: He trembles and flees at the sight of your Guardian Angel." - St. John Bosco

"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." - St. James

Read:
Hebrews 1:1-14
Daniel 3:52-90
Luke 1:26-38

Study:
1) Handout: Angels

2) CCC 328-336, 391-395 (YOUCAT 52, 54-55, 179, 183, 489)
Meditate:
How would I react if I were granted the vision of an angel of God? Knowing that God has appointed an angel to watch over me, how does this increase my confidence in God's love and providence over my life? How can I renounce Satan and prevent myself from falling into his traps?

Pray:
St. 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 do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Imitate:
St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Apply:
In times of need, do I ask for help from my guardian angel?

Interview with an Exorcist

Because you have made the LORD your refuge, the Most High your habitation, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
(Psalm 91:9-12)

    AUTHOR:
    Caleb Payne

    Caleb began his journey with Christ in 1997. He worked as a Protestant missionary for 8 years in China. It was soon after that he was challenged to consider the Catholic Church. After much prayer and study, he realized he had nothing to protest anymore and was received into full communion with Christ and His Church at the Easter Vigil Mass of 2011. For him the joy and peace that comes with receiving Christ in the Eucharist has turned into an insatiable desire to lead others to this same banquet. Caleb is first a husband, a father of three, and works in the Cortland area as a Registered Nurse. Caleb is a member of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, the Angelic Warfare Confraternity, the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, and is an Evangelist for Saint Paul Street Evangelization. He has Certifications in Thomistic/Catholic Philosophy, Catholic Theology, and Catholic Apologetics through the New Saint Thomas Institute. He is also currently in the Formation for Ministry Program of the Syracuse Diocese.
