Oración a San Miguel Arcángel Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

Arcángel San Miguel, defiéndenos en la lucha; sé nuestro amparo contra la adversidad y

asechanzas del demonio: Reprímale Dios, pedimos suplicantes. Y tú, Príncipe de la Milicia Celestial,

arroja al infierno con el divino poder, a Satanás y a los otros malos espíritus que andan dispersos por el

mundo para la perdición de las almas. Amén.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do you, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Ansgar, “Apostle of the North,” was born near Corbie, France, in 801 AD. He entered the Benedictine Order and became a powerful preacher and teacher. He was sent as a missionary to Denmark. For three years he worked and ministered to the people there, but with little success. When Sweden asked for missionaries, Ansgar again set out, this time with another monk. On the way, the two were captured by pirates and suffered many hardships before they finally reached Sweden. Less than two years later, Ansgar was recalled and made Archbishop of Hamburg in 831. It was in this capacity that Ansgar sent the first missionary priests to the Hanover area of Germany. For 13 years, Ansgar worked and prayed in Hamburg. He was known for his excellent preaching, his great love of the poor and the sick, and his humble, prayerful life. He gave his all to his people, leading his flock to Christ. Then another suffering came. In 845 Hamburg was invaded by the Northmen and burned to the ground. Ansgar saw the people return to paganism. Still he continued. Ansgar was appointed Archbishop of Bremen and in 854 began new missionary work in Sweden and Denmark. He asked for only one miracle – that God would make him a good man. Deep in his heart, he carried the desire to give his life for his faith, to show his love through martyrdom. Contrary to his wish, Ansgar died peacefully in Bremen on February 3, 865, and was buried in the cathedral. After his death, Sweden again returned to paganism. Ansgar was an extraordinary preacher, a modest, self-effacing priest, whom his biographer, Bishop Rembert, named a saint. Pope Nicholas I later confirmed his canonization. Ansgar worked very hard, but he lived to see his work destroyed and his efforts proved apparently fruitless. Looking at Ansgar’s life, we see one defeat after another. Yet Ansgar was a winner in all the things that really matter in life – in love and devotion, sacrifice and prayer, in the giving of oneself to God and to others. May we remember the life of Ansgar, the Apostle of the North, and be winners in Christ!

St. Ansgar’s feast day is February 3.

This illustration by Gaugy of San Francisco shows our patron, St. Ansgar, Bishop of Hamburg, busily engaged speaking the Word

as he traversed the Baltic Sea in search of souls for Christ.

predicando la Palabra, mientras navegaba por el Mar Báltico en busca de almas para Cristo.

Ansgar Our Patron Saint

Ansgar Nuestro Santo Patrono

Ansgar nació en Francia. Se unió a la Orden de Benedictos y se convirtió en un gran predicador y maestro. Fue enviado como misionero a Dinamarca. Durante tres años trabajo impartiendo su ministerio, pero con muy pocos resultados. Cuando Suecia necesitaba misioneros, Ansgar nuevamente se enlistó, pero esta vez con otros monjes. Durante el viaje, dos hombres fueron capturados por piratas, sufrieron mucho antes

de finalmente llegar a Suecia. Menos de dos años después, Ansgar fue nombrado Arzobispo de Hamburgo. Fue entonces que Ansgar envió los primeros sacerdotes misioneros al área de Hanover, en Alemania. Durante trece años, Ansgar trabajó y predicó en Hamburgo. Él era bien conocido por su forma de predicar, por su gran amor a los pobres y a los enfermos, por su humildad y por la vida de oración que llevaba. Se entregó completamente a la gente, guiando a su pueblo hacia Cristo. Entonces sucedió una desgracia. En 845 Hamburgo fue invadido por el ejército y destruido nuevamente. Ansgar vio como la gente volvía al paganismo, pero aún así continuo. Ansgar fue elegido Arzobispo de Bremen. Y en 854 comenzó su trabajo misionero en Suecia y Dinamarca. Él solo pedía un milagro a

Dios, que lo hiciera un hombre de bien. Muy dentro de su corazón, él deseaba poder dar su vida por su fe, para mostrar su amor a través del martirio. Así murió en paz. Sin embargo después de su muerte Suecia volvió al paganismo. San Ansgar fue un gran trabajador, pero vivió para ver su trabajo destruido y sus esfuerzos escasamente rendían frutos. Murió muy joven, agotado de tanto misionar y de tanto trabajar por extender el reino de Cristo. Su muerte sucedió el 3 de febrero del año 865. Observando la vida de Ansgar, vemos una lucha constante. Sin embargo, Ansgar fue un ganador en todas las cosas que verdaderamente importan en la vida – en el amor y la devoción, sacrificio y oración, en entregarse a Dios y a su prójimo. Ojalá que cuando recordemos la vida de Ansgar, el Apóstol del Norte, seamos verdaderos seguidores de Cristo.

El 3 de febrero se celebra la fiesta de San Ansgar.
