Archangel Michael

It’s the feast of St. Michael the Archangel today, and to mark the occasion I share the above artwork by Talon Abraxas and the following excerpt from an online piece by Olga Rezo.

Archangel Michael is the leader of all Archangels and Angels. With His blue flaming sword, Archangel Michael can free you from your bad karma, negative energy and restraints that bind you to other people, situations and memories from the past. He can give you strength, power and protection from the devastating thoughts, feelings and deeds of others. . . . If somebody is sending you negative thoughts or thoughts that confront your own will, your strength is going to weaken and this can undermine your success in life. Kindly ask Archangel Michael to stand between you and the sender of those negative thoughts and to protect you. That is the way to turn the negative into positive. Archangel Michael will make you braver and more resolute, so that you can resolve your problems more easily. He will strengthen the will of God in you, as well as the power of faith. Both of these qualities will feed your inner strength, and your motivation will become noble and selfless.

. . . [Ask Archangel Michael to pray with you] to be released from the emotional and other chains that bind you to other people or circumstances from the past. Pray so that you can be filled with love, and realize within yourself the power of Light. Feel this light in your heart [and trust its power to strengthen, guide, and protect you] from all the thoughts that are not compatible with the untainted Divine plan for you.
