Exorcists from all over the planet usage pebbles from Gargano Cave. Saint Michael promised that they would be effective in praying for release and exorcism. They do not replace the exorcism itself, but they act in a akin way as relics of the first degree commonly utilized in exorcisms – writes about the intercession of St. Michael the Archangel American expert on exorcisms Adam Blai. Read the passage from his book “The Investigation of Miracles”.

St. Michael the Archangel – Head of the Army of God

The Catholic Church lists 3 archangels. Gabriel, the hero of the incarnation, appeared to Mary during the annunciation. Raphael, a healer, appears in the book of Tobias. The best known is Michael, the chief of the Lord's army, who throws Satan from heaven. The Bible mentions Michael 5 times: 3 times in the book of Daniel, erstwhile in the letter of St. Jude and erstwhile in Revelation. In Daniel chapter 10, the prophet meets an angel in a dream who says that Michael is the guardian of Israel: Then Michael, 1 of the first princes, came to my aid. I left him there with the Persian kings. I came to give you an knowing of what will happen to your people at the end of the days; for this imagination refers to those days.” [...] Then he said, Fear not, O beloved man. Peace be with you! Be full of power! While he was inactive talking to me, I recovered and said, "Let my master speak, for you have strengthened me." And he said, Do you know why I came to you? But I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. Now I must fight the Prince of the Persians again, and erstwhile I'm done, then the Prince of Javan will come. But no 1 can aid me against them, but your prince Michael. (Dn 10, 10–21).

In this text he is called Michael the prince, which is the basis for his definition as an archangel—a prince among angels. He is the chief of God's army in spiritual combat, the 1 who constantly wins, to whom we can cry in prayer. In the fresh Testament, we read twice about Michal: this applies especially to conflict or dispute with the devil. In the short letter of St. Jude, the penultimate book of the fresh Testament, the author refers to the dispute between Michael and the devil over Moses' body. In honor of the pride of the false proclaimers of the Gospel, he praises the humility of the archangel, for Michael does not justice the devil, but the judgement leaves the Lord: But erstwhile the archangel Michael, in dealing with the Devil, disputed over Moses' body, he did not dare to cast a blasphemous sentence, but said, “The Lord will punish you!” (Jud 1:9).

Michael's last and possibly most celebrated image appears in the Apocalypse erstwhile the very beginning of time is mentioned: And there was a conflict in heaven: Michael and his angels were to fight the Dragon. And the Dragon and his angels fought, but he did not prevail, and there was no place for them in heaven. And the large Dragon was cast down, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, deceiving allThe inhabited earth; it was thrown to the earth, and its angels were brought down with it (Ap 12:7–9).

Michael, mighty by humble submission to God, is inactive fighting for us and with us, and he will do so until the end of the world. In addition to the titles of the Leader of the Blue Hosts and Protector of the Church, Saint Michael is called a faithful companion erstwhile death approaches, a origin of strength in the final fight for faith. Tradition inactive teaches that he will be present at the final judgement to weigh the merits of the soul before the Lord. due to these extraordinary duties and privileges, St. Michael the Archangel has played a unique function in the spiritual life of Christians since the beginning of the Church. He besides mediated in respective miracles done by God.

Saint Michael and Modern Exorcism

Saint Michael plays a crucial function in the spiritual planet and is assigned many functions. No wonder the exorcists hotel to him for aid during the rites, considering his function in the conflict in heaven. Besides, St. Michael was officially associated with the ritual by Pope Leon XIII. In 1884, Pope Leon XIII ordered certain prayers to be prayed after each Holy Mass; They were called Leonov's prayers. In 1886 a prayer was added to them to St. Michael the Archangel, which lay people were to say after all Holy Mass: St. Michael the Archangel, aid us fight, and against wickedness and the ambush of evil spirit, be our protector. May God slay him, we humbly ask for it, and you, the chief of the heavenly hosts, Satan, and another evil spirits, who, to the demolition of the souls of men in this world, will drive God to hell. Amen.

The “Acta Sanctae Sedis”8 collection of 1890–1891 contains an exorcism that only bishops and appointed priests could use. It was designed to inhibit the devil's activity in the Church. In the 1898 edition of the Roman Ritual (a book that contains most of the church's ceremonial prayers) you can find an Exorcism against Satan and fallen angels. He was to expel the demon from places and things, and especially limit his attacks on the Church. He was sometimes called a lesser exorcism. The box next to it reads: “The lower exorcism may be applied by the bishop, as well as by priests authorized by their chief officer”9. This evidence has never been removed or changed, although people sometimes copy it by deleting instructions. Clearly, the secular should not usage this prayer.

A insignificant exorcism that evokes St. Michael is frequently utilized as a diagnostic test for possession. The point is that solemn exorcism cannot be performed without the approval of the Bishop of a place that needs adequate documented symptoms of possession (knowledge of languages that the individual does not know, cognition of hidden things, consequence to objects dedicated to him and supernatural strength). After obtaining consent, you can usage an exorcism smaller for diagnosis, as in his case, documented possession symptoms are not required first. In fact, if a individual is possessed, a smaller exorcism is adequate to force a demon to manifest and uncover himself, which can then be investigated to gather evidence. In a situation of torment (a demonic activity that is not full of possession), a lesser exorcism is adequate to completely release a person, sometimes after his refusal, there are besides instances of possession. Exorcists from all over the planet usage pebbles from Gargano Cave. Saint Michael promised that they would be effective in praying for release and exorcism. They do not replace the exorcism itself, but they act in a akin way to the relics of the first degree commonly utilized in exorcisms.

The prayer itself to St. Michael the Archangel, which the laymen may refuse, besides works powerfully with exorcisms. At times, it is denied out of the way during rituals. We besides regularly usage dedicated icons of St. Michael. Theology of the icon depicts them as windows on the spiritual world. Many times we observed demons talking to St. Michael from the icon, even if the icon was behind the back of the possessed person, so she did not see it herself. The demons besides revealed that they feared St. Michael and that he was the top of angels. In 1 case, the demon was so tired of exorcism and wanted to come out so badly that he shouted, “Holy Michael, throw me out, I beg you!”
