Bringing forth what is within you: Prayer for day two (of nine) with Michael the Archangel — pray with me if you feel so inspired:
Kontakion
Perceiving with trusting eyes the splendor of your supernal beauty and the strength of your right hand which resembles lightning flashing, O Archangel of God. While wrapped in flesh we are filled with wonder, joy, and thanksgiving before the Creator of all, crying aloud with the hosts of heaven: Alleluia!
Ikos
Wonderful Michael, leader of heavenly ranks, implore freedom for our thinking, feeling, and moving centers, liberation from every passion that ensnares.
Having ascended in being from the earthly through the heavenly, we may sing to you this hymn of praise:
Rejoice, nearest beholder of the ineffable beauty and goodness of God!
Rejoice, intimate initiate of the all-good counsels of the Most Holy Trinity!
Rejoice, faithful fulfiller of the pre-eternal judgments of the Trinity!
Rejoice, you to whom the heavenly armies are lovingly amazed!
Rejoice, you whom those born of earth glorify in trust!
Rejoice, you before whom the hosts of hades tremble!
Rejoice, O Michael, supreme commander, with all the hosts of Heaven!
Chaplet
Through the intercession of St. Michael and the Celestial Choir of Cherubim, may God grant us the grace to abandon the ways of lovelessness and mechanical habit, following instead the path of trust made perfect in action. Amen.
[Michael Morrell]
