Saint Michael and All Angels
{29 September}
Psalm 113
Laudate, pueri
PRAISE the Lord, ye servants : O praise the Name of the Lord.
2. Blessed be the Name of the Lord : from this time forth for
evermore.251 The Book of Common Prayer
3. The Lord’s Name is praised : from the rising up of the sun unto the
going down of the same.
4. The Lord is high above all heathen and his glory above the heavens.
5. Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high :
and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
6. He taketh up the simple out of the dust : and lifteth the poor out
of the mire;
7. That he may set him with the princes : even with the princes of his
people.
8. He maketh the barren woman to keep house : and to be a joyful mother
of children.
Collect
Everlasting
God, who hast ordained and constituted the services of Angels and men in a

service in heaven so by thy appointment they may succour and defend us on
earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Feast of St. Michael is the 11th anniversary of our
Order: http://orderofcenturions.org/history.html
The Feast of St. Michael is a good time to prayerfully reflect on our
Vow we have taken: http://orderofcenturions.org/vow.html
Finally, here is the Prayer of the Order:
Almighty
God, our sovereign Lord, who called Cornelius the Centurion to be the first
Christian among the Gentiles, who healed the servant at Capernaum in accordance
with the Centurion's great faith, and who inspired the Centurion at Calvary to
glorify Jesus; strengthen us in our faith that we might follow their example to
love, serve, and glorify you as faithful members of the Church Militant,
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
