St. Michael's Lent
aug 15 - sept 29, 2025
St. Francis and Padre Pio both observed 'St. Michael's Lent', a 40-day period of prayer and penance between the Solemnity of the Assumption on August 15th and the feast of St. Michael (& the Archangels) on September 29th. This year in 2025, Warriors of St. Michael is entering into this season of joyful penitence with the prayer intentions of becoming the husbands, fathers, leaders, protectors, and providers we are called to be in our families, parishes, ministries, and places of employment. Specifically, we are (1) Speaking daily truth declarations to root ourselves in our identity as sons of God; (2) Speaking words of encouragement to our wives, children, other family members, and friends; and (3) Participating in additional prayer and physical sacrifices each man has individually discerned.
We encourage each man to track what they have done in the forms below to create a sense of solidarity as brothers. It's not about HOW MUCH we do, but about HOW MUCH LOVE we put into it!
IF YOU DO NOT STAND FOR SOMETHING,
YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING.

There is a battle for the eternal destiny of your soul and the souls of your family. Sometimes it feels like the darkness is closing in from every side. Yet, we are not beyond hope. Greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The Church is in a season of purification. With the scandals in the hierarchy compounded by the ever-increasing opposition and hostility of the culture against the Church, only those truly faithful to Jesus will have the courage to stay in the long-term. But, those who remain must be fully equipped by putting on the armor of God day in and day out (Ephesians 6:11-17). God does not want you to go into your daily spiritual battle unarmed. Our resources and retreats are designed to be catalysts that help men to be conformed to Christ and fulfill their unique calling from God. Learn more about our mission and join us in advancing the Kingdom of God one soul at a time. It is time to awaken the sleeping giant that is the Catholic Church to walk in the full faith, love, and power that Jesus intended.
