Catholic priest Father Gerald Murray, speaking to The Epoch Times, expressed appreciation for Trump’s message, despite the former president not being Catholic. He said, “God bless him, and God bless our country.”
In Christian theology, St. Michael is portrayed as the angel who defeats the devil. This belief stems from a passage in the Book of Revelation:
“And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon … And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and satan…” (Rev 12:7-9)
St. Michael is often depicted triumphing over the devil, symbolizing justice and judgment.
The prayer shared by Trump originates from an incident in 1884 involving Pope Leo XIII, who witnessed a vision that led him to compose the prayer to St. Michael. This prayer was once required to be recited after weekday Masses in the Catholic Church.
St. Michael is revered as the patron saint of warriors, policemen, and firemen, as well as being the patron saint of several countries.
