My mother passed in 2014 at the age of 88. 2 years before she died she heard someone calling her name. I asked who it sounded like. She said her mother. I said a quiet prayer for guidance and asked if there was something she never forgave her mother for. She said there was. I suggested she forgive her mother. She said she couldn’t. I suggested she pray for the ability and quoted “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others.” A few weeks later she was beaming when I walked in and she said “I did it! I forgave my mother”. 2 years later she was laying in the hospital bed and she said her mothers and St Michael were there to take her home. I asked what she meant. She said Mother Mary, her mother and St Michael were there. She died with a special light in her eyes and a glow about her. She had a huge smile on her face. She passed less than an hour after telling me who was there. Rest In Peace, Mom. I miss you and pray for you daily.
Thank you for sharing
What a beautiful testimony, it brought tears to my eyes. Condolences to you on the loss of your mother. That is the most difficult loss we endure in life, losing our parents . Thank goodness, you were there to help her open her heart and receive the grace of willingness to forgive. May God bless you always.
Thank you. My father passed 8 years before my mother. I had the great blessing of her living with me from then until her death.
@@PattiPilger-ch9bf I’m sure you were a great comfort and help to her
Mary is dead she knows nothing, all these stories are fabricated by the Catholic church to deceive brainwashed Catholics.
I worked in disaster recovery for 30 years and heard stories of people who saw an angel who either warned them ahead of time or protected them during the disaster. Praise God! 🙏🌹
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼✝️💜
Yes, Magnificent Mighty Michael, is very Active, pops up everywhere, and can Always Be Relied On!
He will Never Let us down!
St Michael is very special to me, and has Helped me many times in incredible ways.
I Love Him with My Heart and Soul.
I visited Mont St Michael in Normandy, in 2006, fascinating, steeped in Medieval History.
There is also St Michaels Mount in Cornwall, England, situated right on the South Westerly tip.
It.wasnt labelled, or mentioned, but you can see it on the Sword of Michael line, the next Monasterial Shrine after Ireland.
St Michael, appeared there, in centuries past.
It is much smaller than France, but still has a powerful presence.
The causeway can be walked at low tide, and is situated on a Ley line, known as the Michael and Mary line.
St Michael has various guises, but you know without a doubt it is him.
Just an aside, my Rosary Beads, which I'd placed down whilst listening to Fathers amazing Talk, had formed the perfect shape of an Angel - not ArchAngel Michael - including Both Wings. Lovely.
Praise Be To God.
❤
Wow. I know I may sound like St. Thomas, but I always feel like I want to "see" - I want to know. This may be bad but I am truly like the holy apostle Thomas. God help me.
Wow! Really! That's awesome Thanks for sharing 🙏👍
My nephew Michael (30 years old at the time)had a horrible fall while hiking in a canyon. He fell approximately 15 feet onto a boulder, he hit his head and suffered bleeding in the brain, he was airlifted to a trauma hospital and went into emergency surgery to remove part of his skull to relieve the pressure in his head. After surgery I was able to see him in ICU, I usually carry a few prayer cards in my purse but on this day the prayer card I had was one of St. Michael, I placed it under my nephew’s pillow and begged St. Michael to protect him. The doctors said my nephew would be in an induced coma and told us that they wouldn’t know of any damage to the brain until he woke up. I prayed so hard for a miracle at the hospital chapel that evening. Fast forward to several weeks later, to the amazement of the doctors, my nephew made a full recovery. I thank Jesus and St. Michael for their intercession.
Wow, thank you for sharing
So happy for you, Michael, and loved ones.
CATHOLIC MYSTICISM.... JESUS ONLY TOLD US TO PRAY TO THE FATHER IN HIS NAME ....
AND WE ONLY HAVE TO PRAY TO GOD ,
NOT TO ANY ANGEL
NOT TO ANY SAINT
NOT TO MARY
JESUS DID ONLY TELL US TO PRAY IN HIS NAME
@VK-zf4mn Ty but You might want to read Rev 5:8 and Rev 8: 3-4 where those in heaven take our prayers to the throne of God. The Bible does teach that the saints are alive even though they died on earth. Consider, for example, that Jesus teaches that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is “not God not of the dead, but of the living” (Matt. 22:32; see also 22:23-33) even though they had all died on earth. In addition, Moses is alive to Jesus at the Transfiguration and converses with him, even though his earthly death had occurred many years before (see Matt. 17:1-8).
Dead or alive God doenst change
There are no coincidences in Gods timing. My son is 33 days old today and was baptized in the Catholic Church and his name is Michael.
God is good! Congratulations
Praise God. My son who is 50 was baptized and received Holy Communion but does not believe at all. My grandson Brandon is almost 12 years old and still not baptized. Yes God's timing us good as long as I keep praying for them. I am happy for you and Michael.
Awesome
Amen 🙏 give God thanks.
I'm not a Catholic, but I find Catholicism very colourful in terms of the amazing stories of the Angels and Saints. I haven't worked my head around Mary and have some concerns, but I can't deny all the apperitions. 😊🎉
My brother-in-law is named Michael. He is the kindest man I know. Also, I had a conflict 20 years ago with a guy named Michael. He apologized to me! No one else has ever done that before. Not even the people who fired me during my 30-year career.
I was an over the road truck driver. I know that I had fallen asleep while driving and I heard someone yell my name out extreloud and woke me up! I still believe it was my guardian angel!
I was driving back to my Base, I was AD Air Force, and had visited my young mom who was terminally ill w cancer, I stayed too late with her and was driving back at midnight. I was falling asleep so much driving home and at one point, I was jolted awake, I was under an 18 wheeler! I was able to veer out back into my lane! I have always felt it was someone hitting my shoulder or arm and that woke me!
I have heard that voice too before but I was being told “NO!!!”
God's Blessings ❤
I had the same experience, and it just said my name and "wake up" firmly. Saved me and the car I was traveling straight toward. I believe in Guardian Angels and God.
Same story with me, more than once!
One morning after I worked all night in NYC I was exhausted & didn’t see a car coming as I started to cross the street. Someone strong grabbed me from behind & saved me. I never got to see who it was as. Thank you Angel
Awesome!!!!
It was St Michael
Also save by my Angel...
3 years ago I had been getting beaten down by demons so much I said to God, "l can't do this anymore, " immediately a huge figure of St Michael came through the room and said, "I will protect you. " been free ever since. I agree the church is on the up swing.
You should pray the unity prayer. Jesus included some amazing promises against the enemy with it. Father Jim Blount taught me it, he is on CZcams and is truly amazing
@@MartinBielkovicThe prayer composed by Jesus himself, and that blinds Satan.
Allelujah
🙌🏼🙏🏼🇻🇦
Salute to St. Michael the Archangel🫡
I found that my lgbtq friends who don’t like religion love the Saint Michael Prayer and many have called me when stressed out asking me to pray for them and I pray the Saint Michael prayer in Latin and their anxiety always subsides. maybe one day they will go to the Lord for help instead of me but I’ll keep praying for them.
you should pray to their guardian angels as they need prayers
Praise God! Lord touch these dear children of yours and let them know your love. Let them hear your call and come home. Heal them dearest Lord. Blessed Mother pray for them.
St Michael protect us from all evil spirit in this world
I was not raised a Catholic, but I did see an angel with a flaming sword pass through my bedroom one night when I was very young. He had a flowing robe and wings. Then for some odd reason I secretly memorized the Hail Mary prayer when I was about 10 years of age (which I hid from my family since they would not have approved). I then married a lapsed Catholic, who had gone through catechism, etc., so was virtuous by nature and that rubbed off on me. Later, I attended a college that was founded by the De LaSalle Brothers. Funny how so many people in my life were connected in some way to the Church. I can be very dim and stubborn, so it took decades and decades for me to finally realize that I was a daughter of God and that he was waiting for me! Well imagine the first time I heard the St. Michael prayer ---- I thought it was just some fusty thing that old people prayed...then I fell in love with it. I am a bit slow. When I was in Rome earlier this year I found Pope Leo XIII's tomb and prayed there for a long time (a friend requested that I do this). Just recently I learned additional details behind Pope Leo XII's motivation to write this prayer and that there are other versions. I do pray this prayer almost every day when I remember, immediately following Mass. What a great talk. I learned so much!
Fantastic testimony. Better late than NEVER!!!
I am number 33 in thumbs up. I am old and very dim tho am a cradle Catholic. Thank you for sharing.
I tried the prayers to Mary or Michael...didn't work ..Jesus said only pray to me..then my life became great... It was awful when I prayed to mary
@@ThetennisDrI rebuke thee Satan in the name of our All mighty an eternal God our Lord Jesus Christ ❤
The chaplet of St Michael is amazing, we need to pray it every day, for our families, the Catholic church and your country. Ave Maria, Viva Christo Rey
I don't even know where to start with St Michael. He has been there for me my whole life, saved my life so many times, gives me comfort, guidance, protect my whole family. I love Him deeply and of course God for blessing me so abundantly through His Angels.
Some of us have been blessed to know him as a patron, like you, all the way back into our young years. I love St Michael very dearly, too. He is very powerful. Also silent.
@@Braingrandchildhey :) What do you mean by He’s silent?
@@zsofiasz.8533 God speaks in the silence, the evil one tries to take you away from silence; St. Michael brings you to that silence; St. Michael does not talk, he is an angel who does not have a mouth.
@@owenrobb7428wow I did not know that about St Michael. Thank you.
It took me two years to learn how to speak. And 60 years to learn to keep quiet.
Praying for your dad”s recovery. May St. Michael protect him and all of us! Amen!
Ty
During the devil attack me, suddenly i saw my mortal sins and then i saw the devil and said if u confess your sins i will take your son. I rushed to go see a priest to confessed all my sins even a little sins. And then after week i found that my Ancestors had Occult practices. After the Mass, i stayed for awhile as always and was crying praying like a child to God the Father heartily praying to forgive my sins not just my sins and also to my Ancestors and to my siblings and my children that it will not pass the curses…suddenly, i had a vision i saw myself in the Altar kneeling as i was praying while Jesus crucified and behind Jesus was God the Father and I don’t know how i know God the Father told me” My child, we are in One.” …while Jesus came out of the cross and lift me up. The intense feeling was so strong that i felt something was in me… a Love …a Love and Mercy to a Father to his child. 😭❤️🙏🏼
There is a curse prayer you can say 144 days and the promises are it will remove all curses in your generational line for you and your children. Look it up
Praise God, sweet Jesus, the ultimate healer❤ thank you for sharing your wonderful miracle of God's mercy and Grace🙏
@@Jesusisallandiamnothing thank you!
Amazing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕
God is good.❤
My fiancee and I prayed St. Michael's chaplet for the first time this morning, and here this video gets uploaded! That's amazing! St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle!
I try to pray it daily he’s powerful if I don’t do the Chaplet I do the regular St Michael Prayer 🙏
Jesus is powerful no an angle a servant of God
I love when that happens you think you're the only one in the world that this 'coincidence ' happens to but Dad is looking after ALL His children xxx
Awesome
What a blessing! Amen ✝️ 🙏 May your marriage be filled with an abundance of joy through our precious Lord Jesus Christ ❤🙏
Both my toddler boys have seen St. Michael “cut the head of the snake” in their own words in their bedroom. I was a witness to what they said since I could not see what they were seeing right before their eyes. He told my older son to say the St. Michael chaplet. So amazing!
WOW
Just like in Fatima, when the Virgin Mary appeared to those three kids. As Jesus said, you need to be like a CHILD to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
😍🥰✝️🛐
2 weeks ago, my flight to Ho Chi Minh was so turbulent and was longer than I have ever experienced. I was so scared and was praying Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be, and to my Guardian Angel. When the turbulrlence got stronger, I automatically prayed the St Michael's prayer and the turbulence stopped. There were a couple of turbulences after but they were significantly calmer than the previous ones. That was pretty cool. Thank you, San Miguel!
My nephew has special needs and he would get siezures. When my nephew was still a baby, my sister asked St. Michael to always watch over him. Whenever my nephew gets a siezure there is always someone who knows how to handle his siezure. Thank you,Lord for giving us St. Michael!
I pray to St Michael and St Joseph on waking. I named my son Michael Joseph, he is now a deacon in his parish. My husband as an Army Paratrooper had a devotion to St Michael, patron Saint of paratroopers, at his funeral I asked that the prayer to St Michael be recited.
Thank you Fr Alar for teaching us more about our Catholic faith 🙌🏽
I know. His talks are so helpful. And all the Marian priests preach so great. I thank God for them.
When mom was nearing death 2 years ago, my brother informed me a priest was giving another priest Last Rites on the same floor. I just happened to call while he was visiting her. I told him to snag him to give mom Last Rites, too. He brushed it off but I insisted to the point of becoming very loud. A few days later she deteriorated and I went up to Rosary Care in Sylvania to spend the night in her room so she would not be alone. When we were growing up, mom was with us every minute taking care of us. I prayed Rosaries and Novenas all the way there and thru the night, making the sign of the Cross on her forehead, and read the Three Very Beautiful Prayers over her. She couldn't speak and was out of it, but kept lifting her arms straight up toward something. I stroked her hair and let her know I was there. She died in the morning.
Beautiful Sharon! Oooo will God bless you & your mom too. Keep praying for her soul. Ck out Susan Tassone: " Praying for the Holy Souls 365 Days" not sure the title is correct. It has changed my life...
Bless you 🙏🏻
She was so blessed to have your love & devotion. Thank you.
Sylvania Ohio?
@@DivineMercy_Official YES, near Lourdes College. That's where most of my sibs live now.
Fr Chris, the story about your dad really put my mind at rest. when my dad was in hospital after he had a fall, it suddenly dawned on me that i should get a priest to anoint him. it was a Friday evening, and such a last minute request to the priest, i thought the priest would only be able to make it to the hospital the next day.
but praise God, somehow the priest, Fr Gregory, managed to beat the evening traffic and made it before visiting hours were over.
and on Monday, my dad passed away.
i'm glad to know that my dad was safe on his journey.
add: also my dad prayed the Rosary three times daily. he was the one who inspired me to pray the Rosary daily.
Wow, thank you for sharing that and God bless you and prayers for your father
He was blessed as he took his prayers seriously. What an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
Our Lady promises that those who pray the rosary will not die without the sacraments.
Jesus Mary Joesph I love you save souls Amen 🙏🏻 ❤St Michael all the angels and archangels and saints pray for us ❤
I saw an angel and jesus and Jesus told me to tell the world that He's coming soon.
Thank you 🙏 Father . I truly believe in the power of Saint Michael. He has the power to overcome any evil .
Dear Fr. Chris I am so sorry to hear that your parents are not doing well, my roommate and myself just said a Divine Mercy Chaplet for you, your parents, and your family.
Wow, thank you so much Dorothy and God bless you both!
Fr Chris.... before my Mother died, she was "visited" by her deceased, abusive in every way , father. Three times, she was abruptly awakened from a deep sleep with the exhibition of Cheyne-Stokes respirations, indicating death was soon. She awakened abruptly, very angry, vocalizing hatred and unforgiveness. Each time we prayed. Her facial demonstrated she wasn't going to forgive. She awakened on the 3rd time, in great peace. She said if God could forgive her, she could forgive her father!
I rejoiced with great relief. Upon speaking to a priest, I asked if God would have allowed the father to return to prompt forgiveness. I was told that it was likely a demon who came to make certain her previous confession of forgiveness was nullified.
While I'm not certain what actually occurred in the spiritual realm, but by the grace of God, she forgave on her last waking moment.
Amen 🙏🏼
Wow, thank you for sharing
So important to remember every day, every week, every month. Forgive forgive forgive. I was raised Catholic but learning catechism through CZcams (and Mass)
Praise the Lord! I wish my mother had forgiven her own dad before he died. I pray for her (she passed in 2017) that she's in heaven but who knows, she could be in Purgatory. Pray for the souls in Purgatory every day!
@@Minnie11chula Are you familiar with Ascension Presents? Father Mike Schmitz does the Catechism in a Year and it's so interesting! I'm learning things every day!
I prayed to St Raphael a lot recently for a spouse, then had a customer come into my job named Raphael on October 24th of 2022 who I had 2 brief encounters with (he came back in December) and he kept looking at me and smiling at me like he knew me already. I truly believe that that man was not actually a man at all...
I’ve been praying to him to him for a spouse. I need to keep going and have faith one day I’ll meet her
@@jhp4012 You two could pray together. 😊
Another option is to ask St. Anthony, finder of lost things, to help you find your spouse. I credit him for helping me find mine. I've wanted marriage and motherhood since I was 4 years old. First, I went to Confession and repented of my hidden anger that I'd reached the age I was at the time, nearly 30, without ever having found my special someone. Looking back, I don't think I was ready before then, even though I thought I was. Then I made a list of everything I personally needed in a spouse, shared faith, respect, a sense of humor, honor, integrity, fidelity, good work ethic, from a stable family, love of children, etc. Then, I made a list of things I wanted but did not necessarily need. Then I prayed and asked St. Anthony to help me find the right one. A few months later, we met, and the connection was there from the first moment. Then, the Holy Spirit kept giving us both signs that this was the right person for each of us. We just celebrated our 16th Anniversary, and despite many trials and losses, and no live children, it still only feels like we've been married about 5 years because we go through things together. I can't imagine anyone else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with.
Have faith. If God is calling you to marriage, then at the right time, you will meet them.
God bless you both in your search!
St. Michael… defend us, protect us, lead us to God!
St. Michael, The Archangel, defend us in battle.
Great talk Fr Mike. Just before my mother passed I was at her bed side right after she has her breathing tube removed. Though she wasn’t a practicing Catholic (baptized one though) I asked for last rites from a priest. After he anointed her and gave her the host I literally saw all the weight in the world lifted from her and she was at peace. It was beautiful and very peaceful. She passed a few hours later as I had the rosary being recited.
God's mercy is unending. Ty Lord! Eternal rest grant her Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her
Thank you my 82 yr old brother is not Baptized. Mom raised us Catholic, but became too depressed post partum that 3 of us did not get baptized. My older brother Michael saw that I and younger brother got baptized. I was 18 when I was baptized.
When I feel I'm in danger,i pray the Saint Michael prayer for rescue me amen 🔥

I’m in old revert and it keeps me going knowing there is always something new to learn. God bless you. I always tell my convert friends they put cradle Catholics like me to shame in their devotion and fervor.
We are blessed to have so much depth and meaning to the first and UNIVERSAL church!
@@alwaysmisskarynso true. A cradle catholic too.
I am jealous of your faith. Lord, I want what this dear soul is having. Bless them and let the fire continue to be stoked in their hearts. ❤
I have a special devotion to St Michael who I believe saved me from demonic attack many years ago. He made himself known to me in many ways. He is real. Thank you Father Alar for reminding everyone about St Michael’s importance in these times! 🙏😇
My mother named me for , SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL - it's the greatest gift she ever gave me ❤
Thanks , mom ❤

My father died in 2006. He was a veteran of world war 2 in the Italian army. One of the churches of the sword of Saint Michael runs through an area of Italy where my family was from. My father says that the German Airforce tried to bomb the church, but flew off when they saw an Angel protecting the church. The few German pilots who actually had the courage to drop the bombs, the bombs didn't explode. My father named me Michael (Michele in Italian).
On Butker’s speech - the part that hit me hard was the “diabolical lie women have been told”!!! I’m proof of it because I believed it!! Career was the most important! I didn’t need a husband/children. I had a successful career & life but now retired and 61 y.o. what do I have? I decided to return to my small town because without a family of my own I need a community. I hope young ladies don’t make the same mistake I did! And I’m sure this was all part of Gods plan for me but I do wish I had known the truth back then. Great talk Fr Chris - thank you. I’m going to try to count, one of these days, the number of times I pray the St Michael prayer in the course of a day lol. It’s a lot 🙃 Continued daily prayers for you & your parents 🙏
God bless you. Happy for you that you made a good decision to move back to a small town and have a community.
Thank you for sharing that and we hope to see you this summer!
@@DivineMercy_Official God willing - it's always in the plan but it's hard to leave my mom for more than a day. the nursing home is so short staffed and she needs more help with eating so its something i can do to ensure she is eating while its hot :)
@@parysethibodeau9474 I totally understand. We are in the same boat with my mom. God bless them both
Amen. I posted Mr. Butker's address and noted that the truth is hard but must be faced. I am 67 and I too followed the feminist path my entire life. Praise God I am a Roman Catholic or I would probably be suicidal or an unbearably bitter, angry old cow. Instead I feel immensely blessed --- I converted in 2013.
I always call on St Michael for everything, I even dedicated my car to him. Thank you Fr Chris I have been away from the catholic church fir such a long time, & just returned. I have learned so much from your talks other than my own Parish, wherein as frustrating as it is, im having so much difficulty finding a community, its as if im invisible to everyone. Thank you to all of you Marian fathers, you are an inspiration to my new found faith.
Thanks Fr Alar for St Michael updates for all. Patron saint of soldiers. Amen.❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you St Michael for protecting my family and me.
This was the first thing I saw yesterday after having been feeling of dark attacks on my family and vocation. St Michael keeps popping up, I’m getting the message and making sure I’m asking for his intercession now and staying in prayer
St Michael the Archangel, defend the Catholic Church. Protect all the priests and religious 🙏🏼♥️📿 Pray for us.
Saint Michael pray for the 11 new priests ordained today at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston, especially Reverend Matthew Harrington from my always parish St Adelaide
I thought Saints were selected from those who had lived and died here on the earth. (Rev. 14: 3, 4) In other words they were human beings, descendants of Adam and Eve. Angels on the other hand are spirits who always existed in heaven and were NEVER on the earth. So how can Michael the Archangel be a Saint? Seems like another man-made teaching to me. I can’t accept teachings and doctrines that I can’t understand, whether or not they are a pope, bishop, priest, or nun. If you embrace beliefs that aren’t in the bible and taught by men, you become a follower of men. That’s very risky because no man can give you salvation. How much better it is to follow Jesus’ admonition at John 17:3 so you can learn how to worship the only true God, the only one who can grant you everlasting life.
@@cyclebob9089 Fr Chris
Explains very close to the beginning of the presentation the rationale for Michael ‘s designation as a saint. if you go back and watch within the first 15 minutes, you will find the answer to your question If my memory is correct when the word saint is translated from the Latin, it means “ Holy “does not distinguish that it is human being. Also, the canonization process as we know it today came along much later. I hope this helps but if you go back and watch within the first 15 minutes, you’ll get the specifics God bless you.
o. 'fjl@@cyclebob9089
@@alwaysmisskaryn Hello. It seems to me that the priest in the video gave Michael that title; however, there’s no scriptural basis for doing so. Revelation chapter 14 and Daniel chapter 7 clearly show that the “holy ones” were “bought from the earth” and are taken to serve as kings and priests with Jesus in the Messianic Kingdom. Michael, as an angel, was never a human on earth so in no way could he be a “holy one” (saint) in the kingdom. This is very misleading since many Catholics pray to the Saints. So a Catholic may think that praying to Michael is acceptable and that he was formerly a human on this earth. Fact of the matter is - No where in the Bible are believers taught to pray to Saints - not even to Mary or to Jesus Christ. Prayers should be offered only to “the Father”, the true Almighty God, and through Jesus Christ as he is our intercessor.
St. Michael please intervene against our enemies. Let it be Jesus our Lord's wishes.
I pray to Archangel Michael every day and call.on him.often. i hope Fr. Chris's father has recovered.

My Bishop brought back the St Michael prayer 2-3 years ago. My Ma was so happy and said it should never have been stopped. I pray it frequently and even when i am asleep and start having a nightmare. I counsel my kids to go to Mary and Michael for guidance and protection.
Fr. I've learnt alot from this particular video. Honestly,I didn't know StMichael's duties also included taking souls to the place of judgment. On the day my Dad died,the morning before he died,I kept crying to St.Michael to please plead for mercy for my Dad before the throne of judgment because my Dad's name is Michael
I feel reassured that He will defend my Dad.
St.Michael also delivered my brother whose name is also Michael from the hands of ritualists. The ritualists themselves affirmed that they saw an angel sitting close to my brother, protecting him. So instead of taking him to the place they intended to, they let him off their vehicle. We were all convinced that it was St.Michael.
Thank you Fr Chris for building and forming my Catholic faith. I wish I knew you in the early days of my life. I hope to visit the National Shrine someday by the grace of God, Amen.
Thank you for watching and God bless you

Blessings to u and him
St. Michael, pray for us. Thank you, Fr. Chris, for doing this talk about St. Michael and his powerful battles that increase our trust in him for safety. You also mention Mont-Saint-Michel ( Saint Michael’s Mount ) in Normandy, France. I was there 8 years ago, it’s an interesting place to visit for enthusiastic travellers and learn the history. There’s so much to gain knowledge from creation, devotion to apparition, thanksgiving and faithfulness to the living God who reveals Himself in many ways. Thanks to St. Michael who defeated the angels who refused to obey God and said: “ Who is like God.” We must always remember this and profess our faith, hope and love as children of God for our salvation.
God bless you , Ofelia , I was there too at " Mont Saint Michel " with the children , and we prayed inside the chapel .
I remember it vividly because I don't know why that particular day I experienced an intense peace that I have never felt before .
Continue on writing ✍️ your comments , for I do appreciate your heartfelt comments .
God bless you, dear Ofelia, and keep you safe in His care 🙏 ❤️.
@@marieboustany6846 Thank you for your appreciation and encouragement, Marie. I believe in my heart that Jesus wants me to do this ,too, while I’m still alive. I always tell Him of my desire that by doing this a sinner be converted and a soul in purgatory be released and enter heaven. I’m profoundly grateful to Him for helping me write my comment because I can never say anything without Him. I always depend on His wisdom and ask Him to guide me in what I have to say at the moment.
So glad that you and your children visited Mont-Saint-Michel, the experience is worth remembering. Thank you for sharing and prayers for you and your family. Happy Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and Happy Sunday!
God bless you, Ofelia. I have never been to any of the Saint Michael Shrines in Europe however, last winter a Polish priest did a mission at my parish and he was a CSMA He was very delightful, Fr Piotr. He made stones available to us, and I acquired several from the shrine of Monte Sant’Angelo di Gargano in Italy 🇮🇹.. Michael is an important name in my family starting with my grandfather, my father, my beloved brother Michael ( whose anniversary of his death 4 years ago is this week on May 28), my son, Peter Michael, and my nephew, Eric, Michael.
My hope is that I get to visit there someday along with many other places in Italy that I have never seen in my travels there. Hope you plan a trip to the USA again soon.
@@alwaysmisskaryn What a beautiful family with a generation of St. Michael’s name! A well-chosen guardian and protector for everyone wherever you are. I offer a Holy Mass tomorrow, May 28, for the 4th death anniversary of your brother, including the deceased family member who bears the same name. May our loving and merciful Father continue to bless you all.
Coming back to USA sooner as I desire isn’t possible due to my kinesiotherapy which I didn’t expect too long till the last Wednesday of June next month. The effect of my fall in December last year is a real agony which at first I thought I was okay but it does take time to recover. I’m deeply grateful to Jesus for the opportunity to follow Him to “ Calvary “ every time I climb up the stairs to reach the second floor of my apartment. Honestly, I humbly offer it to Him to help save souls the living and deceased. I’m always joyful and spiritually stronger now than before.
Thanks for sharing, Karyn. I find it a joy to share our experiences we keep in our lives. Glory and praise to God forever!
Yes
Father Chris I thank you for speaking on St Michael who I love. God bless you Father Chris for teaching God children and being a true Shepard we can count on.❤

At Michael protect us from all evil spirits in this world
This came up automatically right on Time Fr. Chris. I have been having some serious issues going on but nothing Heaven and St. Michael can't Handle. I had a talk w/ the LORD about Pride and Humility this morning, also Obediance to GOD. I am trying to Pray the St. Michael pray along w/ the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Daily. Thank You Fr. Chris GOD Bless You🙏⛪
I’ll be praying for you. At 62, I am struggling with the same. Started the Seven Sorrows Rosary a few weeks ago.
@@peg7997 GOD Bless You and Thank You for the Prayers. I Hope that the Blessed Virgin Mary answers Your Prayers.
The struggle is real praying for both of you and all of our Marian family that we draw close to our blessed mother who will bring us to her Son. “Do whatever He tells you to do….” The second time I did the Marian consecration I learned that there are three lessons in the story of Cana. The most obvious, of course, is Mary’s intercession., but the second time I did it and read through the passage a few times, and with the help of Fr Gately, it helped me understand also, that Mary was making Jesus aware of the problems of the world and third, she reminds us to do the will of God. God bless you.
@@alwaysmisskaryn Thank You Sister in Christ for the Prayers. Our World and Church is struggling w/ many issues. We need JESUS and The Blessed Virgin Mary now more than ever in the entire History of the World. Only %30 believe that JESUS IS THE EUCHARIST. They know HE turned water to wine,but can't believe HE turned into the EUCHARIST. This is a Direct Violation to what HE did at the Last Supper. It undermines what our LORD had to go through to save Humanity. My Prayer Today is that the Church as a whole "Does the Will of GOD". St. Michael the Arch Angel defend us in battle. GOD Bless You Sister in CHRIST.🙏❤🔥⛪
Thank you for watching and God bless you
I have a number of reasons why do Catholics like myself Saint Michael.
1. The prayer to him is supposed to be said at the end of Catholic mass but unfortunately some Catholics have forgotten about it but I haven’t. I take it very seriously at the end of mass.
2. I’ve chosen Saint Michael as my confirmation name on Easter Vigil 2010.
3. Always remember to prayer to Saint Michael during the Holy Rosary.
4. Saint Michael has helped me through some emotional and difficult moments such as when I broke up with my previous girlfriend and he encouraged me to take my time recovering from the emotional pain and break up.
5. In July last year, my older brother had some serious anger issues and he was trying to provoke me and hurt me both emotionally and physically but after praying the Holy Rosary and praying to Saint Michael, Saint Michael came to my assistance and told my older brother to trouble me no more and leave me alone in peace.
6. There’s a devotion dedicated to Saint Michael and it’s known as the Chaplet of Saint Michael. If anyone hasn’t heard of it before, I highly recommend looking it up.
Your dad has the best possible son at this time. Praying for the whole family. ❤
Amen.🙏
✝️ 💔 🕊 🌹
Thank you for the prayers and God bless you
Your father is so lucky to have such an amazing son always in my prayers 🙏💕❤️
The archangel Michael appeared to me when I was pregnant considering abortion at that time, was very scared to be alone, he touched my belly ..I felt immense love and told me not to be afraid I be protected. I named my son after him.
He's 17 today healthy and strong
How God protected me the other day at the Super Market !
When I wake up in the morning I would recite 'All glory and honour to the most sacred Heart❤ of Jesus followed by St Michael 's prayer and 3 Hail Mary.
As I was entering the Super Market in a hurry unaware of the glass door closed my forehead hit the glass door with a loud noise.Much to the shock of everyone including my wife Latha I was unhurt by the Grace of God.Thank you Jesus for sending his Angel to protect me
Prayers up for your Father may he experience divine healing and longer life in Jesus name
Thank You Fr. Chris, I was born into the Catholic Church, took it for granted, looked everywhere for the TRUTH although I never abandoned MY JESUS, I always loved and love Him, He's been my cornerstone. Looking back over many decades I do not know what I was really looking for because I had it ALL in plain sight. I just wish that in the days of late 1960's and through the 70's that Catholic nuns weren't into teaching with fear which caused me night terrors, dreading God and Satan equally ... I know now that God is PERFECT LOVE and that we are created in His Image which helps me strive to be like Him. I'm far from being a perfect Catholic but trying. Incidentally, I'll search and watch your talk on forgiveness as it was one of my most difficult things to do .... with God's help I'm in a state whereby, I can forgive. With Love and great Respect, Blessings to ALL from Melbourne, Australia.
Thank you for sharing
A great sermon. God bless you & my brothers & sisters. May the Holy Spirit guide us.

This story makes me feel in awe!!! St Michael be with us at all times
Being truly able to forgive. It’s a challenge for all of us. ✝️

St. Michael The Archangel, defend us in battle, especially against 'Judas Ischariot' in the church. 🙏✝️🙏
And unobedient faithful
Jesus is my defender and protector. My refuge and my strength.
Glad I had Holy Water from Lourdes with me! If you hadn't mentioned in one of your talks that it is in our last hour of life that the demons harass us the most, I would not have known to have the Holy Water, pray so much and insist that mom get Last Rites. My sibs seemed to think, well, she probably hasn't committed many sins lately.... if it wasn't for you, who knows how it might have ended. May God bless you so very much, Fr. Alar!!!
I keep holy water in many locations in my apartment.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
Dear Father,
God will be smiling on you. Thank you for another sterling talk.
