St. Louis
"But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be
great
among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among
you will
be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be
served but to
serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." - Mk
10:43-45

appreciated and we honestly couldn't do
it without your generosity. St. Louis
Parish is asked to donate canned fruit

difference for our clients and their
children.
History of the Prayer to St. Michael Saint Michael the Archangel
is an angel who is considered
the leader of all the angels and of the army of God. The
title
"Archangel" means that he is above all the others in rank.
St. Michael has four main responsibilities as we know from
scripture and Christian tradition:
1. To combat Satan;
2. To escort the faithful to heaven at their hour of death;
3. To be a champion of all Christians and the Church itself;
4. To call men from life on Earth to their heavenly
judgment.
In Daniel, St. Michael is mentioned twice: (1) Daniel 10:13,
as one who helped Daniel, and (2) in Daniel 12, he is
mentioned with regard to the end times of the world, when
he will stand for the "children of thy people;" in the Epistle
of
St. Jude, 1:9, where St. Michael is said to guard the tomb of
Moses and has
contended with Satan over the body of Moses; in Revelation 12:7,
"And there was
a great battle, where St. Michael and his angels fought with the
dragon.”
There are other scripture passages where St. Michael is implied,
but not
mentioned by name, such as the angel who defends the gate to
Paradise (Genesis
3:24); the angel through whom God published the Decalogue to his
chosen people;
who defends against Balaam (Numbers 22:22 ff.); and "who routed
the army of
Sennacherib" (2 Kings 19:35).
The prayer to St. Michael originated with Pope Leo XIII in 1886.
Legend has it that
the Pope, following Holy Mass, received a vision in which he saw
the great damage
Satan would do to the Church and the world in the 20th century.
Pope Leo XIII
composed this prayer to be recited after Low Mass.
Pope Paul VI, in a homily in 1972, gave a great warning for
Catholics to be aware
of the Devil and to be armed against him. The Holy Father
asserted that he had the
feeling that “from some fissure, the smoke of Satan has entered
into the temple of
God.”
Pope St. John Paul II has said: “Although this prayer is no
longer recited at the end
of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to
obtain help in the battle
against the forces of darkness and against the spirit of this
world."
St. Michel is invoked for protection, especially from lethal
enemies. He is also the
patron of soldiers, police and doctors.
Matthew Kelly Coming To All Saints The author, inspirational
speaker and founder of Dynamic Catholic is coming to All
Saints Parish. They will be hosting his presentation at East
Central High School's
Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Nov. 17th. The talk will be
from 2:00pm-

There is limited seating. Tickets can be purchased at
