Hi Peter:

The rosary is hanging in there strong. Thanks again for making it for me.

Yes, you can petition the bishop to reinstate the St. Michael prayer to the rubrics at the end of the Mass. You can send the bishop a letter and ask others to send a letter, or you can submit a petition with many names on it.

Do not expect a positive response, but, keep in mind that anybody or group of people can stay after Mass and pray the St. Michael prayer on their own initiative.  

 In his Regina Caeli Address on Sunday 24 April 1994, Pope John Paul II recommended its use, saying:

May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle that the Letter to the Ephesians speaks of: 'Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might' (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St Michael the Archangel (cf. Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had this picture in mind when, at the end of the last century, he brought in, throughout the Church, a special prayer to St Michael: 'Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil...' Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ask everyone not to forget it and to recite it to obtain help in the battle against the forces of darkness and against the spirit of this world.

 

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
