Incredible Miracle: U.S. Marine Saved by Saint Michael By TFP Student Action This is the true story of a Marine wounded in Korea in 1950. Writing to his mother, he told her of a fascinating encounter he experienced in the war. Father Walter Muldy, a U.S. Navy chaplain who spoke to the young Marine and his mother as well as to the outfit commander, always affirmed the veracity of this narrative. We heard it from someone who read the original letter and retell the story here in all its details and in the first person to better convey some of the impact it must have had when first told by the son to his mother.

Dear Mom, I am writing to you from a hospital bed. Don’t worry, Mom, I am okay. I was wounded, but the doctor says that I will be up in no time. But that’s not what I have to tell you, Mom. Something happened to me that I don’t dare tell anyone else for fear of their disbelief. But I have to tell you, the one person I can confide in, though even you may find it hard to believe. You remember the prayer to Saint Michael that you taught me to pray when I was little: “Michael, Michael of the morning,…” Before I left home for Korea, you urged me to remember this prayer before any confrontation with the enemy. But you really didn’t have to remind me, Mom. I have always prayed it, and when I got to Korea, I sometimes said it a couple of times a day while marching or resting. Well, one day, we were told to move forward to scout for Commies. It was a really cold day. As I was walking along, I perceived another fellow walking beside me, and I looked to see who it was. He was a big fellow, a Marine about 6’4” and built proportionally. Funny, but I didn’t know him, and I thought I knew everyone in my unit. I was glad to have the company and broke the silence between us: “Chilly today, isn’t it?” Then I chuckled because suddenly it seemed absurd to talk about the weather when we were advancing to meet the enemy. He chuckled too, softly. “I thought I knew everyone in my outfit,” I continued, “ but I have never seen you before.” “No,” he agreed, “I have just joined. The name is Michael.” “Really?! That’s mine, too.” “I know,” the Marine said, “Michael, Michael of the morning….” Mom, I was really surprised that he knew about my prayer, but I had taught it to many of the other guys, so I supposed that the newcomer must have picked it up from someone else. As a matter of fact, it had gotten around to the extent that some of the fellows were calling me “Saint Michael.” Then, out of the blue, Michael said, “There’s going to be trouble ahead.” I wondered how he could know that. I was breathing hard from the march, and my breath hit the cold air like dense clouds of fog. Michael seemed to be in top shape because I couldn’t see his breath at all. Just then, it started to snow heavily, and soon it was so dense I could no longer hear or see the rest of my outfit. I got a little scared and yelled, “Michael!” Then I felt his strong hand on my shoulder and heard his voice in my ear, “It’s going to clear up soon.” It did clear up, suddenly. And then, just a short distance ahead of us, like so many dreadful realities, were seven Commies, looking rather comical in their funny hats. But there was nothing funny about them now; their guns were steady and pointed straight in our direction. “Down, Michael!!” I yelled as I dove for cover. Even as I was hitting the ground, I looked up and saw Michael still standing, as if paralyzed by fear, or so I thought at the time. Bullets were spurting all over the place, and Mom, there was no way those Commies could have missed at that short distance. I jumped up to pull him down, and then I was hit. The pain was like a hot fire in my chest, and as I fell, my head swooned and I remember thinking, “I must be dying…” Someone was laying me down, strong arms were holding me and laying me gently on the snow. Through the daze, I opened my eyes, and the sun seemed to blaze in my eyes. Michael was standing still, and there was a terrible splendor in his face. Suddenly, he seemed to grow, like the sun, the splendor increasing intensely around him like the wings of an angel. As I slipped into unconsciousness, I saw that Michael held a sword in his hand, and it flashed like a million lights. Later on, when I woke up, the rest of the guys came to see me with the sergeant. “How did you do it, son?” he asked me. “Where’s Michael?” I asked in reply. “Michael who?” The sergeant seemed puzzled. “Michael, the big Marine walking with me, right up to the last moment. I saw him there as I fell.” “Son,” the sergeant said gravely, “you’re the only Michael in my unit. I hand-picked all you fellows, and there’s only one Michael. You. And son, you weren’t walking with anyone. I was watching you because you were too far off from us, and I was worried. Now tell me, son,” he repeated, “how did you do it?” It was the second time he had asked me that, and I found it irritating. “How did I do what?” “How did you kill those seven Commies? There wasn’t a single bullet fired from your rifle.” “What?” “Come on, son. They were strewn all around you, each one killed by a swordstroke.” And that, Mom, is the end of my story. It may have been the pain, or the blazing sun, or the chilling cold. I don’t know, Mom, but there is one thing I am sure about. It happened.

It is also true, our Patron Saints & Angels run to the Lord when we are in trouble offering themselves to come to our rescue. I have personally experienced heavenly help in crisis through strangers. Lord comes to our rescue through Mother Mary, Saints, Angels and human beings who allow the Lord to use them as powerful instrument in His hand to help, heal, save, comfort & protect Lords people.

DO NOT COMPROMISE yourselves to the lure of the Evil of the world. Call on Saint Michael, even if it is a short St. Michael, protect me and help me now. He knows how we humans, struggle, esp young people, and he will come to our aid with the power of God and Our Blessed Lady.

Reply | Reply with quote | Quote +6 # Chris Andreas 2010-06-03 07:15 This miraculous story of Korea brings to memory a similar story from World War I. Its one that I believe few modern historians know about and even less believe. Part of the story took place at the Battle of the Mons, but it may have happened elsewhere as well. In the midst of the fighting, soldiers from both sides of the conflict supposedly saw great celestial visions of angels, saints, and perhaps even the faces of friends who had already been killed in battle. Supposedly a cavalry appeared out of nowhere wearing uniforms from hundreds of years earlier. Soldiers from both sets of armies ceased fighting and were court martialed for leaving the battlefield. This was where the stories came out. Of course, there were the usual denials by the top brass during the trials. They said that the soldiers made up these stories, and I suppose the whole incident remains controversial to this day. I have not confirmed this story historically, but this is what I remember from my readings. Reply | Reply with quote | Quote +6 # Juliana L.

He helped Michael the Marine because of his devotion and dedicating residing the St Michael Prayer, even the priest in our parish, we reside the St Michael Prayer every Sunday before the Mass is over. They should Keep the St Michael Prayer and pray for it every morning while they are out there at the battlefield finding the enemies, He is the leader of the Angels who protect and watch over us here on earth and heaven as well. He fought the prince of darkness and thrush him into hell and all for those who want to follow the prince of darkness.

I thought, thou shall not kill was one of the big no-nos. Youre missing several important ideas. First, not all killing is sinful. Killing in defense of the innocent is not murder, and hence, not sinful. Second, youre missing the fundamental idea of sin- Sin is action taken in direct opposition to the will of God. St. Michael, as an angel that chooses to follow God, always does His will. If God decided to end these mens lives, then by definition, it is not a sin. God created them, God gave them life.. We are all His creatures. Not an easy thing for modern ears to hear, but its the truth. Finally, yes, God is there for those Korean men. The fact that they died does not necessarily mean they are damned, and in fact, we have no idea what their eternal fate is. You are thinking secularly, to think that death is the ultimate end. It isnt. - Rob Reply | Reply with quote | Quote +1 # jane wagner 2013-03-12 16:39 I understand Robs query. Im sure those communist soldiers had mothers and people who loved them. They never learned to pray or to know God. It is hard to think that they would be slaughtered by a sword from Gods angel for doing what they had no choice about doing. Communist soldiers are not allowed to question or disobey orders. So why did they all die doing what they were forced to do? Why not just an invisible shield to protect young Michael from the advancing communists? War is evil, and even if Michael was participating innocently, I dont see why these other men had to die so that he could live. St Michael could have just protected him. I humbly acknowledge that I dont understand the ways of God and angels, and I do pray to St Michael to protect us from evil, but Rob had a point and it wasnt answered satisfactorily, to my eyes...

The Bible teaches on the existence and physical intervention of the holy angels of God, and particularly Saint Michael, the Archangel, in the affairs of man. The Bible equally promises the direct intervention of these holy angels of God in our current human affairs and dispensation; just as they appeared to Apostles Peter and Paul in the Book of Acts (Acts 12:7-17; Acts 27:23-25). I am greatly inspired by the role of St. Michael, the Archangel and other holy angels of God in our present era; to the extent that I officially and legally changed my first name to Saint Michael, reflecting my belief in their protection. If it were not for the protective roles of the holy angels of God, Satan and his evil angels would have destroyed us. But thank God that He Has given His angels to guard, protect,deliver and guide us, in line with His Word in Psalm 34:7; Psalm 91:11-12; Psalm 103:20; Hebrews 1:14.

And yet failed. failed over again and again. It may be due to some silly reason that you fail. Or may be even if you achieve it finally there will be a lot of unnecessary hurdles. Be Sure Its the Evil one who is testing you, and eventually you will move away from God and that is what he wants. If this is your situation in life, and you think why it is happening always in your life, it is St Michael that you should pray to and ask for help. You should believe God wants to help you fight Evil, he will assign you to St Michael who takes care of the fight.

Reply | Reply with quote | Quote 0 # Cheryl Grayum 2013-09-24 12:42 I saw St Micheal once (as did everyone around me) he came to our ICU (small hospital) in the vision of a medieval dressed Catholic priest to say last rites on a dying child. Everyone froze and stopped working to watch him say the In Latin over a dying child. When he left to go around the corner, I ran to the ward clerk and asked her did you see that? She say yes and I asked her did you schedule this ? She said no; go around the corner and ask the family if they did. I went immediately around to the small waiting area where they would be and it was empty. The small elevator (old and slow) was still sitting on that floor. After that I had a brush with very evil people (long story) and was almost murdered. I know St Micheal was warning me of things to come. He was incredibly handsome, dark black wavy hair, piercing eyes.

Come to the assistance of men whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Holy Church venerates thee as her guardian and protector; to thee , the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be led into heaven. Pray therefore the God of Peace to crush Satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the Church. Offer our prayers to the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us; take hold of “the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan”, bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit “so that he may no longer seduce the nations” (Apoc. XX 2). Reply | Reply with quote | Quote 0 # Arlene Schroeder 2013-09-24 15:22 I too have a devotion to St. Michael. One time I was kneeling by my bed reading the prayer silently to St. Michael the Archangel(long prayer of Pope Leo XIII), when I heard audibly the words Out loud and be faithful. I checked this prayer out through Church authoritys and it was as if there was some confusion as to whether the lay people could pray this prayer or not. We CAN in our own name as any approved prayer BUT NOT publicly as an exorcism. I have prayed it everyday since that moment aloud as a prayer of protection.(Some 30 years now) I now have it memorized. Some have been afraid to pray this prayer, but what I would say; As afraid I am of praying the prayer I would be that afraid NOT to pray it. Who is afraid of this prayer? Satan, and if he can keep you from praying it then he just won. He will try. Besides scripture, the sacraments, sacramentals, and OBEDIENCE to the teachings and disciplines of our Catholic faith, this prayer is very powerful for protection.

Yet, I needed the assurance of that story this week, today even. Cant explain - involves others - but convinces me that St. Michael continues to protect me in the Name of Jesus! Thanks for posting that and keep up the good work. beautiful story. Reply | Reply with quote | Quote +1 # renie&ken 2013-09-30 14:34 I say the St. Michael prayer at the end of my daily rosary. Reply | Reply with quote | Quote +1 # Frances M Granger 2013-10-06 08:44 Such a very beautiful story, I say this prayer each day especially when traveling in my car taking my grandchildren to school or Holy Mass. I tried to teach little 6 year old Phoebe my eldest granddaughter, Michael of the morning, each time I saw her. One morning while doing the school run I began to say it and she joined me. I said to her you do listen to me, and she said, I always do. I am really happy that she now knows this prayer and I ask her to say it each day with her other prayers .
