Heavenly Father: Thank you for the gift of Michael and for his courage in coming to you and for sharing his story with others. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and when we bow to your might and great power, we know we need not fear anything or anyone else. Fill him with your wisdom, courage and might, reminding him that he shares the name and identity of Michael, the great fighting archangel who bravely crushes the evil one. Do all this through the unity of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
