It is a time of very strong prayer, where the help from Heaven is poured over those that put themselves completely under the protection of St. Michael

For this time prepare a small area with the image of St. Michael and a candle blessed by a priest or deacon. You should also offer a penance, according to the inspiration that may come to your heart. (Example: no smoking, offering for your freedom from the vice; don’t drink coffee at all in the middle of the afternoon, offered for your family). If you forget or miss being faith all the days, do not give up, seek faithfulness!
