Saint Michael the Archangel -  “one who is like God,”

Saint Michael is an archangel, a spiritual warrior in the battle of good versus evil and the leader of all angels and of the army of God. He is considered a champion of justice, a healer of the sick, and the guardian of the Church. In art Saint Michael is depicted with a sword, a banner, or scales, and is often shown vanquishing Satan in the form of a dragon. 

Saint Michael the Archangel, whose name means, “one who is like God,” led the army of angels who cast Satan and the rebellious angels into Hell; at the end of time, he will wield the sword of justice to separate the righteous from the evil (cf. Revelation 12:7ff).

Saint Michael is well known for his role in banishing Lucifer and his fellow angels from the realm of Heaven. And that, he works ceaselessly against evil forces in bringing an era of peace for all beings.

In the New Testament Book of Revelation, Saint Michael leads his angels against the dragon ("the Devil and Satan") and his angels during the war in heaven where he defeats the dragon. Over time his role became one of a protector and the leader of the heavenly host against the forces of evil.

Today, Saint Michel is invoked for protection, especially from lethal enemies. He is also the patron of soldiers, police and doctors.
