The Prayer to St Michael the Archangel

(see below) is now a staple of liturgies in
many parishes across the world either as
part of the Holy Rosary and/or often
recited after the conclusion of the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This prayer,
invoking the assistance of the Archangel
Michael, has been offered by the faithful
since AD 1886 (composed as it was
by Pope St Leo XIII), but its popularity declined following the
Second Vatican Council (October 1962 to December 1965).
However, renewed interest in the prayer developed in the
autumn of AD 2018 in the wake of concerns about unity within
the Catholic Church and new revelations of sexual abuse of
minors and adolescents by clergy and others. In October of
that year, Pope Francis invoked the prayer and suggested it be
recited by all the faithful. The Holy Father has not been shy in
citing the devil as a cause of evil and disunity: “[The church
must be] saved from the attacks of the malign one, the great
accuser and at the same time be made ever more aware of its
guilt, its mistakes, and abuses committed in the present and
the past” (29th September AD 2018). The prayer was also
endorsed by Pope St John Paul II in a 1994 Angelus address as
he reflected on threats toward the unborn.
Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of
battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of
God, thrust down into hell satan, and all evil spirits, who
wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen

Parish Solemnity 2023

The celebration of our Parish Solemnity of
Our Lady of Walsingham on Sunday, 24th
September (and anticipated at the Vigil
Mass) will provide us with the perfect
opportunity to honour our Blessed Lady,
in this her Dowry of England, and to share
in worship and friendship with our three
Priests: Fr Christopher (Parish Priest), Fr
Prasad (Assistant Priest) and Fr Wayne
(Priest in Residence). As our Parish of Our
Lady Walsingham rejoices on that day so

too naturally will the community at St John Ogilvie Church as
we delight in being one Christian family. We also hope our
brothers and sisters in Christ in the parishes of St Brendan and
St Patrick will join us in prayer to Our Blessed Mother as we
ask of her intercession for the town of Corby and all its
surrounding villages. We shall spiritually prepare for our
Patronal Solemnity with nine days of prayer as we publicly
offer together the Novena of Our Lady of Walsingham from
15th September and invoke the prayers of St John Ogilvie (more
details to follow shortly so keep an eye on the newsletter).
Our Lady of Walsingham: Pray for us.
St John Ogilvie: Pray for us.
