Notes:
In 1106, European Crusaders built a chapel in the ruins of the "Church of the Disciples," built by St. Helena (mother of Constantine) in the early 300s AD over a cave on the Mount of Olives thought to be the location of the Ascension of Christ. The Crusaders associated the site with the teaching of the Our Father prayer. The entire site was excavated and a new church and compound built that preserves part of the original churches, as well as the chapel area, a grotto, where the Crusaders thought that Jesus taught the Our Father prayer. |

Saint Michael the Archangel
also, "Prayer to Saint Michael"
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. |

Sancte Michael Archangele,
Defende nos in proelio, contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, in virtute Dei, in infernum detrude satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo. Amen. |
