St. Michael Novena — Day 1: Defender

Defender of the Church

Free: Daily Protection Prayer

Get Brother Michael's daily protection prayer delivered to your inbox every morning.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Welcome to the first day of the Saint Michael Novena. For nine days, we will pray together to the great Archangel who, by the power of God, defends the Church and every soul that calls upon him. The Book of Revelation, chapter twelve, says, Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil.
