On the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, this powerful sermon explores the reality of spiritual warfare, the power of the Holy Name of Jesus, and the protection offered by St. Michael against the attacks of the enemy.
Drawing from Catholic tradition, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Lawrence Justinian, and centuries of Church teaching, this talk examines how Catholics can respond to temptation, spiritual oppression, and the daily battle for their souls.
