* Cujus honor praestat beneficia populorum, et oratio perducit ad regna coelorum, alleluia.V. Archangelus Michael praepesitus paradisi, quem honorificant Angelorum cives.
R. Cujus honor praestat beneficia populorum, et oratio perducit ad regna coelorum, alleluia.
That the blessed Archangel Michael hath oftentimes been seen of men is attested on the authority of the Holy Bible, and also by the ancient traditions of the Saints. For this reason such visions are held in remembrance in many places. As of old time did the Synagogue of the Jews, so now doth the Church of God venerate Michael as her watcher and defender. But during the Popedom of Gelasius I. the summit of Mount Gargano in Apulia, at whose foot lieth the town of Siponto, was the scene of an extraordinary appearance of this same Archangel Michael.
