Heart and Soul and Spirit
In life there are times, when certain things need to be said, and yes, prayed about…and prayed for, often divine intervention, supernatural intervention, as we are engaged in supernatural warfare. Yes, at opinion-canada.ca we talk about character building, morals ethics, defence and politics, many things, it is essential and valuable to talk and write about spiritual things. We need in fact to acknowledge God in all our ways, Seek you first the Kingdom of God…
Even though we may have challenges in life, knowing in fact that there is a Creator God, an Almighty God, it is known, that there exists an Arch Angel St. Michael, even as there is an ultra-nationalist Michael Comeau, a Protector, dedicated to God and his country, aerial and space battles are inevitable, predestined, as not only does it seem the future has already happened, history repeats itself, in multi-dimensional space, as above so below dualities, archetypes, parallel worlds, past, present and future lives, on earth as it is in heaven, the ironies and parallels are astounding to say the least.
Everyone has challenges, everyone is different, now is the time to renew your spiritual life, to dedicate yourself, to build character, knowing and choosing between right and wrong, and to trust and have confidence and faith going forward.
Anyone at anytime, even as there are simultaneous and sequential problems and warfare, including direct, proxy and asymmetrical warfare, even as there is cyber warfare and advanced persistent threats, we are confronted with spiritual warfare, and we need to have spiritual armour, the whole armour of God.
Knowing that there is in fact St. Michael the Arch Angel who has a specific purpose, mission and jurisdiction and destiny, and a plan of salvation, we can renew our zeal, energy and enthusiasm in our spiritual quest, our spiritual battles. We have freedom of choice, we can utilize the tools of spiritual growth, study, prayer, fasting and meditation, make effort not excuses, like any other endeavour, except with this, a whole lot more heart, mind, soul, and spirit, the spirit God. A spirit led life requires faith and action, it is not letting God do everything, we must be pro-active, diligent, we exercise self discipline and self control.
Compliments to and with much thankfulness for your devotion and loyalty from theyoungcatholicwoman.com
“The St. Michael prayer was written by Pope Leo XIII in 1898, and it was written after the pontiff experienced a vision of demonic nature during Mass.”
opinion-canada.ca : We endeavour to be more aware of historical and future events and what is going on right now, in physical and spiritual reality and warfare, with the importance of prayers for supernatural protection for ourselves and others, and the entire planet…
The Original St. Michael Prayer
O Glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, be our defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, and spirits of evil.
Come to the aid of man, whom God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist Thee, nor was there place for them any longer in heaven. That cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels.
Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men; his depraved mind, corrupt heart, his spirit of lying, impiety, blasphemy, his pestilential breath of impurity and of every vice and iniquity. These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the Spouse of the Immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.
Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate Thee as their protector and patron; in Thee Holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to Thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, do Thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen.
Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered, hostile powers.
The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David.
Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord
As we have hoped in Thee.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee
Let us pray:
God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy name, and we humbly implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious Archangel St. Michael, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all other unclean spirits, who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Saint Michel, l’archange du dernier combat
“Il y eut alors un combat dans le ciel : Michel, avec ses anges, dut combattre le Dragon. Le Dragon, lui aussi, combattait avec ses anges, mais il ne fut pas le plus fort ; pour eux désormais, nulle place dans le ciel” (Ap 12, 7-8).
Pourquoi saint Michel est-il si fort contre le démon ?
