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.

Richert says:: 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.
