Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

St. Michael and All Angels


Today, 29 September, is the day the Christian church remembers St. Michael and All Angels. St. Michael is mentioned in the Book of Daniel,in the Gospel of Luke, and in the Book of Revelation.

Read these following Bible verses to learn more about St. Michael.
Daniel 10:10-14, 12:1-3
Luke 10:17-20
Revelation 12:7-12

Everlasting God, you have wonderfully established the ministries of angels and mortals. Mercifully grant that as Michael and the angels contend against the cosmic forces of evil, so by your direction they may help and defend us here on earth, through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God whom we worship and praise with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven, now and forever. Amen!
