St. Michael the Archangel: The Protector of Heaven and Earth
St. Michael the Archangel is one of the most revered figures in Christian tradition, known as the protector of the faithful and the leader of the heavenly army. His feast day on September 29th offers a special opportunity to reflect on his role as a defender of God’s truth and a guide for those seeking spiritual protection. To help children connect with St. Michael’s powerful story, I’ve created a free St. Michael the Archangel coloring page that you can download and print!
Who Was St. Michael the Archangel?
St. Michael is an archangel, often depicted as a warrior who battles the forces of evil. The name “Michael” means “Who is like God?”—a question that reflects his role in defending God’s honor and authority. According to Scripture, Michael fought against the fallen angel Lucifer and his followers in the heavenly battle (Revelation 12:7-9).
Throughout Christian history, St. Michael has been invoked for protection and strength in times of spiritual warfare, whether in personal struggles or the fight against evil in the world. He is also the patron saint of soldiers, police officers, and anyone who seeks strength and courage in difficult situations.
“Who is like God?”
One of the most powerful phrases associated with St. Michael is “Who is like God?” This phrase is often used as a battle cry by St. Michael, emphasizing God’s supreme power and authority. It reflects his unwavering commitment to protecting God’s honor and standing firm against the forces of evil.
St. Michael’s question, “Who is like God?” serves as a reminder that God’s power is unmatched. In times of difficulty or fear, we can draw strength from this declaration, knowing that no one or nothing compares to the greatness of God. Whenever we feel afraid or face challenges, we can hold onto the truth that “No one is like God” St. Michael’s courage and faithfulness to God’s might encourage us to trust in His protection and power, especially when facing challenges in our own lives.
