Collect of the Apparition of St Michael the Archangel ~ Indulgenced on the Feast (See Note)

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who on the feast of any Saint recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


V.
 O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, Who hast ordained and constituted the services of angels and men in a wonderful order, mercifully grant that as thy holy angels alway do thee service in heaven, so, by thy appointment, they may succour and defend us on earth.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
R. Amen. 

Nota bene - The Apparition of St Michael is no longer celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but according to the Martyrology, prior to John XXIII's reforms, this is the Feast Day. I have no idea if this Collect is still indulgenced, but it can never hurt to honour the Prince of the Heavenly Host. The Collect is from his Office prior to 1960.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
