Akathist to Archangel Michael
Kontakion 2
We behold the splendor of your spiritual beauty and the strength of your right hand which is like a flash of lightning. Although we are wrapped in the mortal flesh of this earth, yet we are filled with joy and thankfulness before the Creator and cry aloud, Archangel of God, with all the hosts of Heaven: Alleluia.

Wonderful Saint Michael, leader of the heavenly hosts, entreat for us a clear understanding and a release from passions. Thereby lifted in thought from earthly to heavenly things, we may sing a hymn of praise to you:
Hail, nearest beholder of the ineffable beauty and goodness of God.
Hail, close participator in the mysteries of the all-good counsels of the Most Holy Trinity.
Hail, faithful fulfiller of the pre-eternal judgments of the Trinity.
Hail, you at whom the heavenly hosts, with love, stand amazed.
Hail, you to whom those born on earth give glory.
Hail, you before whom the hosts of Heaven tremble.
Hail, Michael, Supreme Commander with all the hosts of Heaven.
Thank you! 55 people prayed
