Unity in the struggle against Satan

Armor of God by Jesus Marin

Today’s readings have been proclaimed in St. Michaeltide. This is the time of year when the members of the Church are particularly called by the weekly lectionary texts to remember that Satan has been cast out of heaven.

That was stated as a reminder of that which should be done through the work of our Lutheran Women in Mission.

We thank God for the loyalty and ministry of St. Michael

St. Michael’s Victory over the Devil (Detail) by Sir Jacob Epstein St Michael's Cathedral, Coventry, Warwickshire, England

We don’t pray to the angels. We don’t even pray for them.
Rather, we pray with them to the One who has created us, redeemed us, and sanctified us.
We pray to Him who sent St. Michael into battle, and who also sends us.
