Michael, prince of all the angels, While your legions fill the sky,
All victorious over Satan, Lift your flaming sword on high;
Shout to all the seas and heavens: Now the morning is begun;
Now is rescued from the dragon She whose garment is the sun!

I tried adapting our Michaelmas Blackberry Cobbler recipe using Cassava Flour and Coconut Sugar… Didn’t turn out wonderful but I enjoyed having a refined sugar-free treat! |
Mighty champion of the woman, Mighty servant of her Lord,
Come with all your myriad warriors, Come and save us with your sword;
Enemies of God surround us: Share with us your burning love;
Let the incense of our worship Rise before His throne above!

The special little gift I purchased hasn’t arrived yet… but the younger kids were so excited when this Special Edition Saints Around the World Box arrived! |

I was just (unsuccessfully) looking for our copy of The Great Battle for Heaven! Perfect timing. |

The Great Battle for Heaven |
Gabriel, messenger to Mary, Raphael, healer, friend and guide,
All you hosts of guardian angels Ever standing by our side,
Virtues, Thrones and Dominations, Raise on high your joyful hymn,
Principalities and Powers, Cherubim and Seraphim!

Happy Michaelmas!
Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Everything you post has such a touch of grace!
