St Michael the Archangel Angel Catholic Saint Poster

St Michael the Archangel Catholic Saint Saint Michael the Archangel defeated Satan during the war in heaven. He is mentioned three times in the Old Testament in the book of Daniel, and has been part of Christian teachings since the earliest times. In the New Testament Michael leads God’s armies against Satan’s forces in the Book of Revelation. Catholic writings and traditions he acts as the defender of the Church, and chief opponent of Satan; and assists souls at the hour of death. We pray to St Michael for his protection and as leader of the army of God against the forces of evil. A widely used prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel was brought into official use by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 and was recommended by Pope John Paul II in 1994.
