Title: Prayer to Michael of the Saints Post by: Shin on May 15, 2012, 03:48:18 AM St. Michael of the Saints
A monk considered by the brothers of the monastery to be a saint, lived a life of prayer and great mortification -- especially devoted to the Blessed Sacrament. Prayer to St. Michael of the Saints favored by Pope Bl. Pius IX Glorious Michael, seraph inflamed with burning love of Jesus in the most holy Sacrament; thou who, passing days and nights in his Royal Presence, didst find there those dear delights which, inundating not thy heart alone but thy whole body with surpassing sweetness, threw thee into an ecstasy of joy, and who, rapt in thy God, didst feel thyself faint for love, being unable to support the torrent of consolations; vouchsafe, I pray thee, powerful advocate, to obtain for me lively faith, firm hope, and burning charity towards this priceless treasure, the precious pledge of everlasting glory; so that by thy intercession I may, through the whole course of my life, be numbered amongst the true worshippers of Jesus in the Holy Sacrament, and hereafter enjoy Him face to face, together with thee, in an eternity of bliss. Amen.
