St. Michael’s Lent (and Why You Should Do It)

Do you feel the call to engage more deeply in the spiritual battle raging around you? Do you want to deepen your prayer life? This might be precisely what you need.

St. Michael’s Lent is a 45-day journey of prayer and reflection inspired by St. Francis of Assisi that runs from August 15 through September 29. Men participating in this transformative practice experience a deepened faith in Jesus and serious growth in virtue.

Today, Fr. Mike explains the essence of St. Michael’s Lent, emphasizing how it helps men prepare for future challenges, experience personal growth, and impact their communities. He debunks the myth that these practices are extreme or unreasonable and highlights their role in balancing personal development and service to others.

Whether you join St. Michael’s Lent or support those who do through prayer, Fr. Mike encourages everyone to consider how these practices can enrich their lives.

*I'm overjoyed and grateful to see God's blessings and abundance manifest in my family's life. We're thriving and happy once again, and I can now provide for my loved ones even in retirement, thanks to a remarkable weekly income of $67, 000. It's a game-changer after* *facing many challenges*.

This year marks the 800th anniversary of St. Francis's Stigmata during St. Michael's Lent! I'm in and I invite all men to join. God bless you all and know that I'm praying for you!

I’m in! God, please, give me the Grace to complete these 40 days Saint Michael Lent! 🙏🙏🙏

[ChildofGod]

Jesus I seek you everyday. Even when I feel like giving up. I will keep faith. As a single mother. I’m struggling to make ends meet. My husband passed years ago. I have no one to turn to but you Lord JESUS. Both of my sons have special needs and require so much from me. Lord I’m afraid. Every month I struggle trying to provide for my children struggling to pay rent and to buy groceries. God you have provided this far. Lord hear my prayers.💕😭❤️

I’ll be praying for my wife and all those doing St. Michael’s Lent!

[antonioalas]

Today I am starting the 40 day fast. St Michael and St, Francis’ prayer will get me through. Only water and oil. No bread. Pray for me, they are all calling me crazy.

Thank you Fr Mike

May God continue protecting you and your family ❤❤

My wife & I have observed St Michael's Lent the past few years. When we actually engage in it, it has been fruitful.

[SLVass]

I’m Baptist, but I’m joining in. Thank you for all you do, Father Mike. Even though I’m not Catholic, I feel this helps me be a better Christian.

[WarriorKnitter]

I'll be praying for those who do and for those who choose not to.

[wonderwoman]

I'm gonna try and do it! I returned to the Catholic church earlier this year, and am so glad. I go to mass nearly every day. I say the rosary. I have managed to transition off of my depression and anxiety meds. I still struggle, but I now trust our Lord, and pray. I also pray for everyone, including atheist. Father Mike, your online Sunday Mass, and Bible in a year...which I currently am on day 287...has brought me back to God. I pray for you too. Thank you for all you do.❤

[newbeeah]

Been waiting for this challenge all year. St Michael is my confirmation saint ❤ 😊

[JeannineGosselin]

I'll be praying for everyone whether you do the challenge or not. We are all awesome. God Bless.

[jons]

Do it, or don't do it! The love of Jesus is always there. Thank you Fr. Mike, I'm going to give it a GO! 😅
