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 do thou, oh prince of the heavenly spirit, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who roam the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
Where in the Bible does it say to pray to angels? It doesn't - there is a strict prohibition against this. We ask God to send angels to help, they are at HIS disposal, not ours to beckon.
Amen brother. Disregard the trolls and downvotes. There are a slew of shills who hate the Word of God and they will brigade you if you try to speak out.
Praying is also ASKING !!!
We pray to God and to Jesus. We do not pray to angels, Mary or "saints" - that is idolatry.
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 1 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
The saints are true worshippers who worship God in Spirit and Truth. Not those canonised by poops. Read it in full:
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,:
Where in the Bible does it say the word "Bible" or "Sola Scriptura"??
Whole can of worms can be opened from here.
Thank you Fren. Prayers are welcome.
In HIS name
Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 28 KJV 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
What are you doing praying to things that were created by Him? Have you not read the Bible?
No, we're not " forewarned against reading the Bible". There have been more cases of pedophilia by Protestant clergy than by Catholic priests. Are you trying to say that you trust the MSM? Looks like you're also trying to divide us. I seem to remember Q warning us about those who do that.
Those who do not study history are bound to repeat it.
We've studied.
No, I'm not lying. Have been to Catholic Bible studies.
lol.
Only the catechism is allowed - man-made, satanic nonsense.
This is part of the Leonine prayers introduced by Pope Leo in the early 1900s to counter the spread of communism in Russia. Perfect timing.
Didn't work too well, did it? Communism spread and millions died - still going strong.
The leonine prayers were removed from the mass in the sixties, after Vatican II. So removed by the commies. Most Holy Family monastery has some good info.
Well, all I can say is it was an EPIC FAIL - by their fruits ye shall know them.
Amen
Amen. Perfect prayer for today.
I love this prayer - I say it when I'm in my car asking St. Michael to keep all the evil and idiots away from me !!!
Why don't you just ask Our LORD JESUS CHRIST to Bless you and protect you?
I presume he is busy.
St? Which book of the Bible refers to him as St?
none, only the catholics see them as idols
Yes, with all the "relics" - UGH!
sorry, i dont pray to angels. the bible specifically says not to do this. catholics need to actually open up their bibles and read them some time.
Not defending the catholics in any way, shape or form, but many others need to open their Bibles more often.

This is where we should all be at, me included. It is a long read but well written and easy to digest.
They have been taught the man-made catechism nonsense. Need to read this:
The Roman Catholic Bible Has The Answer

Amen!
Gotta pray to God not angels. There's only one King in and under heaven fren. While Michael specifically is a badass, he's not God. Pray for God to send Michael to help. He listens to His children when they cry out for help
How's about we agree to pray, in the way that fits our faith, and not bicker amongst each other over who's prayer is right? If we look for ways to divide ourselves into every small faction, we will never accomplish anything!
Jesus came to divide. There are things worth dividing for.
To all the critics here: I will pray to who I want, when I want and how I want.
At least I pray.
PS St Mike is the protector angel of the US.
Demonstrate your position and claims from scripture.
You can't.
I don't have to. I can pray to anyone I want. I don't have to prove myself to you.
PS - your hatred is showing. Where is that in scriptures?
I asked you to prove your claims with scripture and you were completely unable to and instead decided to call me hateful.
Are you sure you're not a liberal?
My claim was that I pray to whom I want, when & how I want. I dont have to prove myself to anyone. Scripture has nothing to do with how I pray.
I was married to an atheist who thought he knew everything about everything and he too hated any opposing belief.
Being liberal or conservative has nothing to do with someone's faith.
So your standard is yourself and subjective. That's not Christian, that's idolatry.
Christianity is the belief that God and His word are the objective standard.
I checked your history and any reference to faith you look to start an argument. Get a life.
You couldn't deal with the basic question and statement at hand and instead had to try to find ammo in my post / comment history?
Thanks for proving my point.
Get a Bible and let it lead you to life.
I feel so welcome as a Catholic on this site when anti-Catholics constantly attack us. Thanks guys, you're doing a really good job at being worse than atheists when it comes to persecuting us. Big help.
See? I was minding my business, saying that it's starting to get hostile in here towards Catholics, and what comes along? Another hostile anti-Catholic. Thanks guys, you really make me feel loved here.
Hello u/valley-lily, I'm just combing through old posts referencing Catholicism so that I can let people know that c/Catholic was created a few days ago. It's pretty quiet right now, but I'm hoping we can build it up. Next time you're on .win come by and check it out! God bless!
Thank you, I'll check it out!
You're confusing people elevating God's infallible Word / scripture over the traditions of a man-made institution that frequently conflicts with that very scripture.
God's Word should be your highest standard, not traditions made by men in funny hats.
Except these traditions came from Jesus, then went through Peter, down the line, etc. But it's useless talking to another anti-Catholic. I always get the same protestant type of replies. So how 'bout this? Stop harassing us and we won't bother you either (and to be honest we haven't, YOUR side is the one always starting fights). How 'bout that?
Don't mind those haters. Christians are taught to hate Catholics. Its that 'once saved always saved" thing so once they are born again they can steal, kill, commit adultery whatever because they were already 'saved'. Only the Catholics can say their church was started by Jesus. The other denominations were started by a mere human who thought he knew better than Jesus.....like these critics.
Thanks fren, I love how they're so "tolerant" and "Christian" that they then attack others for their very similar faith, but apparently not similar enough. These people disgust me and their "arguments" are so old and tired, they've been spouting them for 500 years.
No you're being told that those traditions came from Jesus and we're passed down. But the Catholic Church hasn't been consistent and it's taught a wide variety of things over the years and constantly changes position.
How do you qualify that exactly?
Why would your standard not be God's word? Why would you rely on the traditions of men?
Gee guys, you're really making me feel all warm and welcome here! Great job! Literally every single prot argument from you guys I've heard about a million times before. Why is it that prots are so uncreative?
Spend just a moment studying "pagan" Christianity and then another moment studying the Inquisition. Just because you are clueless does not render you infallible.
Thank you but you missed......by the power of God......cast into hell
Thank you, I corrected it!
Don't pray to saints. It's unbiblical and not demonstrated in scripture at all. Your prayers to saints will not be heard.
It's one of many Catholic church false doctrines and traditions meant to keep you from doing what's truly effective and commanded, praying to God.
If it's not in scripture, it's not of God. Sola Scriptura.
They are the anti Christ. Everything they do takes away from the Dominion of our Lord. Priests forgive sins? Mary dispenses grace? Christ suffers and dies every Sun Day?
Apologies for not being blind.
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
