We need St. Michael in a big way these days. Thanks for sharing this great photo!
The clouds in the background match the mood perfectly!
Shirlie said it right — the whole atmosphere of the photo is really powerful.
Shirlie and Beth, I’m glad you’ve said that about the clouds. I was tempted, when editing the photo, to lighten it up enough so that you could see more details on the statue, but I would have lost the clouds and sky altogether. Looks like I made the right choice.
Nancy, Human Life International’s St. Michael Prayer Campaign includes a petition to the Holy Father to reinstate the St. Michael Prayer at the end of every Mass. At St. Mary’s Oratory, we still pray i at the end of every Low Mass; there are also Novus Ordo parishes here in Rockford that have reinstituted it.
Great atmosphere to this photo - it really tells a story.
