San Michele Arcangelo

The application offers an audio-Crown to Saint Michael the Archangel.

This pious exercise was revealed by St. Michael himself, Prince of the Celestial Militia, in an apparition to the servant of God Antonia of Astonaco in Portugal. He told her that he wanted to be venerated with nine greetings corresponding to the nine Choirs of Angels, each followed by a Pater and three Aves, finally concluding with four Paters: the first in his honor, the second to St. Gabriel, the third to St. Raffaele and the fourth to our Guardian Angel.

He also promised anyone who venerated him in this way, before Holy Communion, to obtain from God that he be accompanied to Communion by an Angel from each of the nine Choirs. And to anyone who recited this Crown every day, he promised his assistance and that of the Angels in life and, in Purgatory, after death.

Furthermore, Prayers to Saint Michael the Archangel are presented because

He who has honored Saint Michael, says Saint Bernard, will not dwell long in purgatory. Saint Michael will use his power and will soon lead his soul to the celestial sojourn of Paradise

There is also a chaplet to Saint Michael the Archangel in suffrage of the deceased because the Prince of the celestial militia, says Saint Anselm, is omnipotent in Purgatory, he can give relief to the souls that the justice and holiness of the Most High keep in that dimension of 'beyond. It has been indisputably recognized since the foundation of Christianity, said Cardinal Saint Robert Bellarmine, that the souls of the deceased are freed from purgatory through the intercession and ministry of the archangel Saint Michael. Let us also add to this authoritative theologian the opinion of Saint Alphonsus: Saint Michael, he says, is responsible for consoling the souls in purgatory. He does not cease to assist and rescue them, providing them with much relief in their sorrows.
