________________________________________________________"Devotion to Saint Michael flourished in the Middle Ages, particularly among the monastic orders as they viewed themselves as warriors of Christ. It follows naturally that these spiritual “special forces” in the combat for the salvation of souls would name their monasteries and shrines after Saint Michael the Archangel. A great, yet largely unknown, sign of this devotion is the existence of a perfect ley-line, known as the Sword of St. Michael, which connects a line of monasteries from Ireland to the very heart of the faith, the Holy Land."

Saint Michael and his sword have protected legions of faithful during harrowing crisis. Proof of one such event occurred in 1950, during the Korean Conflict, when a young American Marine prayed his usual morning prayer to Saint Michael, a prayer that had been written for him by his mother. This particular day the prayer became his call for help. Saint Michael responded to the young Marine's request through the following course of action:
Saint Michael Protect, Defend and Rescue the Children Enslaved and Suffering as Victims of Human Trafficking. Pray this special verse of the St. Michael Morning Prayer each morning for the victim children and for Saint Michael's intercession on their behalf...
"Michael, Michael of the Morning,
fresh chord of Heaven adorning,
Help the child victims this day,
and in time of temptation,
drive the devil away. Amen."
