Michael as The Prince

The name Michael, from the Hebrew Mikha'el, means WHO IS AS GOD. Michael appears for the first time in the book of the prophet Daniel, where he is called: "Michael, one of the chief princes," and again: "At that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people." His name is a battle cry; both shield and weapon in the struggle.

Saint Michael has always been the warrior Angel, fighting Satan and his demons from the beginning, then, in the course of time, all the enemies of God's own People. He is "the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people."

As long as Satan persists in his attacks, and God's children are exposed to them in this world, Saint Michael the Archangel, the Prince of the heavenly hosts, will continue to shatter his plans with the war cry of old: "Who is as God?" St. Michael will continue to attack and shatter all the forces of evil, and his powerful intervention in the struggle in behalf of the children of God will never cease.

Saint Michael has four distinct roles:

First, he is the Enemy of Satan and the fallen angels. He defeated Satan and ejected him from Paradise and will achieve victory at the hour of the final battle with Satan.
Secondly, he is the Christian angel of death: at the hour of death, Saint Michael descends and gives each person the chance to redeem oneself before passing.
Saint Michael's third role is weighing peoples' merits (hence the saint is often depicted holding scales) on Judgment Day.
And finally, Saint Michael is the Guardian of the Church.

As the picture on this page illustrates, Saint Michael points the way. This is cause for our Hope.
