On September 21st, those who are promised in Apostoli Viae pray an annual novena to the archangels, asking for their intercession in spiritual warfare, healing, and humility, and in reparation for offenses against the Lord in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The novena concludes with a consecration to the archangels on September 29th. We invite you to join us! Although it is not required, a special chaplet was made for this novena, which may be purchased here: https://stpaulmemphis.com/product/st-michael-cord-chaplet-blk/
The following is prayed each day, with the exception of the consecration, which is to be done following the prayer on the 29th.
Here is a video of our Founder, Dan Burke, praying the daily prayers: https://vimeo.com/752996145/f63042ae67?share=copy
(On Coat of Arms)
Come, Holy Spirit, Creator blest, and in our souls take up Thy rest; come with Thy grace and heavenly aid to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O comforter, to Thee we cry, O heavenly gift of God Most High, O fount of life and fire of love, and sweet anointing from above.
Thou in Thy sevenfold gifts are known; Thou, finger of God’s hand we own; Thou, promise of the Father, Thou Who the tongue with power imbue.
Kindle our sense from above, and make our hearts o’erflow with love; with patience firm and virtue high the weakness of our flesh supply.
Far from us drive the foe we dread, and grant us Thy peace instead; so shall we not, with Thee for guide, turn from the path of life aside.
Oh, may Thy grace on us bestow the Father and the Son to know; and Thee, through endless times confessed, of both the eternal Spirit blest.
Now to the Father and the Son, Who rose from death, be glory given, with Thou, O Holy Comforter, henceforth by all in earth and heaven. Amen.

(On Coat of Arms Emblem)
May God arise; may his enemies be scattered; may those who hate him flee before him. As the smoke is dispersed, disperse them; as wax is melted by fire, so may the wicked perish before God Then the just will be glad; they will rejoice before God; they will celebrate with great joy. ~Psalm 68 2–4
