In the Book of Revelation he leads the angels against the dragon, and the Church honors him as defender of the faithful, with Gabriel and Raphael, on September 29. He is shown with sword raised and wings open over the defeated enemy. The words around the edge, St. Michael Pray For Us, turn the medal into a short invocation that can be said at any moment of the day. This round 16 mm medal in antique silver-tone alloy has darkened relief that brings out the archangel and the lettering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e“Saint Michael, pray for us”, whenever fear rises\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour friend needs courage and does not always know how to pray.

Small and discreet enough to wear every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 16 mm and 5 g, this is a small medal. On its 46 cm chain it sits just below the collarbone, and with the 5 cm extender it drops to about 51 cm, on the upper chest. It slips under a shirt or a uniform collar, or shows at an open neck. It is antique silver-tone alloy, so take it off before a shower, a swim or a workout, and put it on after cologne. Small enough for a teenager at confirmation, it also suits a godchild, a father on Father's Day or a friend going through a hard time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe prayer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaint Michael the 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 hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

It is a short prayer asking the archangel to intercede.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the lettering readable on the 16 mm Saint Michael Prayer medal?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The darkened relief brings out the archangel and the words St. Michael Pray For Us, even on a 16 mm medal of 5 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is Saint Michael the patron saint of?\u003c\/strong\u003e He is the traditional patron of police officers and soldiers. Many people also wear his medal as a reminder to ask for courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the antique finish of The Saint Michael Prayer last through workouts?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not if it gets wet. Water and sweat dull the electroplated antique silver tone, so take the medal off before training, showering or swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it big enough for a man?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if he wants something discreet. At 16 mm it stays hidden under a shirt; a larger Saint Michael medal would show more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose The Saint Michael Prayer as a confirmand's first religious medal?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is small and simple, and Saint Michael is a common choice of confirmation saint. The invocation around the rim turns the medal into a short prayer to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--\/bc-ai-more--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bennett \u0026 Cross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55228470559061,"sku":"CJZBLXLX22447-Silver","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5964\/2197\/files\/the-saint-michael-prayer-front-antique-silver-2026.jpg?v=1791788472","url":"https:\/\/bennettandcross.com\/en-ie\/products\/the-saint-michael-prayer-a3535a","provider":"Bennett \u0026 Cross","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
