The Voice of Michael
On this feast day of the Holy Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael I reproduce this psalm like writing the work of St George Preca (+1962). St George once imagined in prayer that St Michael the Archangel was singing a psalm in the courts of heaven. This is what he heard:
Satan should remember that he owes his very existence to the Most High * to whom no one can be equal.
No power can remove Jesus Christ the Son of the Most High and the Virgin Mary * from his eternal glory.
Satan caused that happy fault that merited to man such and so great a redeemer * and made the Son of God their brother.
It is impossible for Satan to find peace or rest * not even if he destroys God’s servants.
Heaviness of heart and suffering in the body caused by Satan * are the cause of a greater crown of glory.
Him who declared “I shall not serve” * in spite of his malice and confusion paved the way for God’s incomprehensible judgements.
To God alone praise, honour and all glory * He receives the humble and sends the proud away empty.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever * world without end. Amen..jpg)
