Saint Michael the Archangel,Â
defend us in battle.Â
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.Â
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,Â
and do thou,Â
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,Â
by the power of God,Â
thrust into hell Satan,Â
and all the evil spirits,Â
who prowl about the worldÂ
seeking the ruin of souls.Â
Amen.

| 0:36.0 | like 20 minutes trying to go with my entire family in the car and then had to embarrassingly dig myself out and then try to drive back into my, into my driveway and then into the garage. And then we had to go to a later mass. So we still made it. That's good for you. So made it. it still made it but a lot of shoveling |
