Michaelmas

Today is the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel in the western Christian calendar.  
When I lived and worked in the Camphill Villages [some forty years ago] this day was especially celebrated as Rudolf Steiner [1861-1925] considered this the second most important feast after Easter.



O glorious prince Saint Michael, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor; you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil; we turn to you with confidence as you enable us by your glorious protection to serve God more and more faithfully everyday.
