Why Pray to St. Michael?

In the Book of Revelation, St. Michael is the Archangel that defeated the Dragon and expelled it from Heaven. The Church also perceives Michael as a "Psychopom", a guide escorting souls to the afterlife.

In Hebrew, St. Michael's name means "who is like God?". Formulated as a question, the name implies that no one can pretend to be like God, except someone with the same pride as Satan, the demon who wanted to take God's place.
