Most prayers to St. Michael ask him to fight for us. This one is different. This one is a hymn — a song of praise to Jesus, the source of all angelic power, and to Michael, the greatest of His warriors. It lifts the eyes from the battlefield to the throne room of heaven, where the angels draw their light and life from Christ Himself.

If the short Prayer to St. Michael is the battle cry, this Hymn is the victory song.

This beautifully laminated Hymn to St. Michael the Archangel card carries one of the most beautiful and ancient hymns in Catholic devotion to the Archangel — a prayer of praise, wonder, and trust in the God who commands the armies of heaven.

Hymn to St. Michael the Archangel

O Jesus, life-spring of the soul!
The Father’s power, and glory bright!
To You with the angels we extol:
from You they draw their life and light.

Your thousand hosts are spread abroad
through all the vast expanse of space;
but Michael bears your fiery sword
and guards the portals of your grace.

O Michael, prince of heaven’s host,
defend us in the evil day;
be near us when we need thee most,
and drive the powers of hell away.
Amen.

About St. Michael — The Commander of Heaven

St. Michael is one of only three angels named in Scripture. His name in Hebrew means "Who is like God?" — the battle cry he shouted as he led the heavenly armies against Lucifer. In the Book of Revelation, it is Michael who defeats the dragon: "Michael and his angels fought against the dragon... and the great dragon was thrown down" (Rev. 12:7-9).

He is venerated in Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Jewish, and Islamic traditions — one of the most universally honored heavenly figures in all of world religion. He is the protector of the Church, the escort of souls to heaven, and the warrior God sends when the battle is most fierce.

My grandmother Irene Forte Pollert taught me the Prayer to St. Michael when I was a little girl, pulling monkey grass in her yard for 25 cents a day. My son Cody chose St. Michael as his favorite saint. The warrior of heaven runs in our family. ⚔️

A Personal Note from Shawn

I'm Shawn Kilgarlin — wife, mother of four, mental health clinician, and Life Coach. This Hymn to St. Michael is for those who want to go deeper than the battle cry — who want to praise the God who commands the angels, and thank Michael for standing guard. Every ShopCatholic card is part of my mission of giving, funding Christmas gifts for those in need through Holy Angels and serving those in addiction recovery. Thank you. 🙏⚔️

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this card different from the other St. Michael prayer cards?
ShopCatholic carries several St. Michael cards, each with a different prayer or devotion. This card features the Hymn to St. Michael — a song of praise to Jesus as the source of angelic power, and to Michael as His great warrior. It is more contemplative than the short defensive prayer, and pairs beautifully with it. The Police Officer's Prayer (KE24-334) is specifically written for law enforcement. The Guardian and Defender prayer (KE24-333) is the longer traditional intercessory prayer. Together they cover the full range of St. Michael devotion.

Are there churches and shrines dedicated to St. Michael?
Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy, France — a medieval abbey on a tidal island, one of the most iconic pilgrimage sites in the world. UNESCO World Heritage Site.
