A Prayer to Saint Michael
Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness
and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Legion - a new movie of despair and blasphemy that contradicts Our Lady's Fatima message of hope
Send your instant e-protest message to Sony,
the distributors of Legion.
January 19, 2010
Dear Erlinda Carino,
On January 22, Sony will release the f a n t a s y Apocalypse thriller Legion in theaters nationwide.
A f i l m that Mocks the Faith and Leads to Despair
And it challenges God in these 5 important points:
1) Everything is upside down: St. Michael the Archangel is the rebel angel
2) God has lost faith in men! The world is lost!
3) Blasphemous absurdity: St. Michael/Rebel Angel/S a t a n comes to save a waitress pregnant with the ... "Messias"
4) Insult to Our Lady's purity: actress says Virgin Mary is not a virgin
5) Religion is "crazy." The most fundamental truths of our Faith, such as God's justice, mercy, his infinite perfection and the Incarnation of the Word are shown in a crazy light.
For a list of the dangers and errors in Legion, please see:
5 reasons why Legion is evil and must be opposed
This short, easy to read list shows why Legion is blasphemous and must be opposed by all those who love God and who spread Our Lady's Fatima message of prayer, penance and trust in His mercy.
Join the protest against Sony
Serious Catholics see how this is NOT only a movie; not just mere entertainment. Those who love Our Lord and Our Lady perceive how blasphemy has been making great strides lately through films, novels and theater.
That's why we Catholics need to stand up and be counted. We must show Sony that we reject Legion because it is blasphemous and insults Our Lady and Our Lord.
Moreover, we must not forget that Sony also launched the blasphemous, unsuccessful Da Vinci Code movie in 2006, which mocked the Divine Person of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
So, please go here now to send you instant e-protest message to SONY, the distributor of Legion.
But there's more.
Not only must Catholics oppose Legion, but we must alert others against it too.
Ask them to be vigilant. NOT to allow themselves to be influenced by Legion, or any other blasphemous f i l m.
That's why I ask you to forward this message to a friend. Ask them to join our nationwide protest of Legion.
To make this peaceful and prayerful protest effective, we hope to reach at least one million Catholics within the next 2 weeks.
So please help by passing on this instant e-protest message against Sony today.
Finally, please: REMEMBER!
At Fatima, Our Lady gave us hope. Yes, it's true that She foretold a period of great suffering unless mankind converted. Yet that period would be followed by a golden era of peace, the reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We are definitely in a period of great suffering now. But we can look ahead with absolute certainty to the glorious dawn of Our Lady's coming reign, because at Fatima, She promised:
"Finally, My Immaculate Heart will triumph!"
Sincerely in Jesu et Maria

Pope John Paul II urges revival of the Prayer to Saint Michael
The Prayer to the Archangel Michael was composed by Pope Leo XIII (d. 1903) after he had a vision of the battle between the "Woman clothed with the sun" and the great dragon who tried to devour her child at birth, in the Book of Revelation, chapter 12. In 1886, the pope decreed that this prayer be said at the end of "low" Mass (not "high", or sung Masses) thoughout the universal Church, along with the Salve Regina (Hail, Holy Queen); and the practice of the congregation praying these prayers at the end of Mass continued until aout 1970.
In 1994, during the International Year of the Family, Pope John Paul II asked all Catholics to pray this prayer daily. He warned that the fate of humanity was in great peril (in particular because of the U.N. Population Conference to be held in Cairo that year). Though he did not order that the prayer be said after Mass, he urged Catholics to pray together to overcome the forces of darkness and evil in the world.
In his Angelus message given in St. Peter's Square, Sunday, April 24 1994, shortly before the United Nations Conference in Cairo, the pope spoke of "the Woman clothed with the sun", who appeared in Saint John's apocalyptic vision, with the dragon about to devour her newborn child (Rev 12:1-4). The Holy Father said that in our time "all the accumulated threats to life" are placed before woman, and we must "address the Woman clothed with the sun" to overcome these snares. In this message he encouraged the revival of the prayer to Saint Michael:
"May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle of which we are told in the Letter to the Ephesians: 'Draw strength from the Lord and from His mighty power' (Ephesians 6:10). It is this same battle to which The Book of Revelation [Apocalypse] refers, recalling before our eyes the image of Saint Michael the Archangel (cf. Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid vision of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he introduced a special prayer to Saint Michael throughout the Church. Even if this prayer is no longer recited at the end of every Mass, I ask everyone to remember it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world."
