St Michael Prayer News

Stuck for something to do in a time of slaughter? Why not pray for Saint Michael (archangel)to step in and stop the carnage. I’ve found it helps my stress levels somewhat. As my acupuncturist says, it’s as bad as it’s ever been.

I found two images in recent days in the local street, both abandoned and prominently in the middle of my path – the other one was the Queen of Spades/ Swords.

They are both on the kitchen wall, protectors in these dark times. I feel we all really need them, the news is now so unwatchable.

With me prayer is an instinct that church didn’t wipe out. How can it be wrong to ask God, and/or the angels, or any other beneficient alien super-being that may be floating around Planet Earth to step in and assist the weak and helpless as they are wasted by the actions of evil men? Even if you are secular, it addresses something deep with the human psyche, it’s a way for us to take part in the collective unconscious, of collective imagining and empathising, which certainly is affecting the fate of the species. Saint Michael, we need your energy right now.

I am writing music, and trying not to let the sombre mood affect it too much. It’s a melancholy blues number about failure.
