Meditation Writeup
Meditation on Spiritual Warfare
Begin by finding a quiet space. Light a candle to symbolize Christ’s light. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Reflect on Ephesians 6:12, “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against… spiritual forces of evil.” Visualize yourself putting on the armor of God: the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit. Imagine St. Michael and your guardian angel standing beside you, ready to defend. Recite the St. Michael Prayer slowly, letting each word sink in. Picture Jesus on the cross, His victory over darkness. Feel His peace envelop you. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with courage and discernment. Spend 10 minutes in silence, trusting God’s protection. End with the Sign of the Cross, affirming your faith. This meditation strengthens your resolve to stand firm in spiritual battles, rooted in God’s love and power.
