Kontakion 10

Saint Michael, be for us who wish to be saved, a firm helper. Deliver and preserve us from distress and mishap, and even more so from our own evil habits and sins. Thereby progressing in faith, hope, and love of Christ, we may thankfully cry out with joy to the Master of angels and mankind for your strong defense: Alleluia.

Ikos 10

Archangel of God, you are a secure wall for all who believe and a sturdy pillar in the struggle with visible and invisible enemies. With thankful hearts and voices we dutifully cry out to you:

Hail, unconquerable opponent of the enemies of the Faith and the adversaries of the Holy Church.

Hail, untiring helper of those who humbly announce the good news.

Hail, for you enlighten with the light of faith those sitting in the land of darkness.

Hail, for you direct along the path of truth and repentance those made foolish through false wisdom.

Hail, terrible avenger of those who call in vain on the Name of the Lord.

Hail, chastiser-bearing lightning for those who foolishly mock the mysteries of the Holy Faith.

Hail, Michael, Supreme Commander with all the hosts of Heaven.
