Meaning: Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel

The sword of heaven guards the faithful.
Michaelmas remembers the warrior of light,
who cast the accuser from heaven.
The flame of justice does not falter.

Say aloud what you must defend.
A vow, a threshold, a soul.
Let your voice be shield and seal.

Draw a line across your threshold.
Say: “None shall cross with shadow.”
Let your house be watched by more than locks.

Then walk it as if Michael walks with you.
Not in wrath, but in radiance.
To defend is to stand with heaven.
