Miracle of St Michael on the poor man, who became a rich man

His miracle, of the holy Michael, the chief of the angels, the high and glorious, the angel of the covenant of the Lord, who stands at the right hand of Jesus, whose pen is of fire, from whose tongue flows mercy, who prays for mercy for those who believe, and who saves us from Satan and his evil spirits, the souls of sinners who are afflicted by suffering and disease continually, who are tormented, and in the fire of Gehenna which is theirs, who are judged, and from the true law of faith, who have strengthened the greatness of his prayer over us, he turns to the children of baptism where we are gathered in all their assemblies, for the fiery archangels, he watches over the armies of Belhor, for sin the accusers, and moreover he protects with the rod of the Trinity which is strong, every morning and every hour for his beloved forever and ever, amen. It is said that there was a certain man, poor and needy, in a certain city, near the church of the holy Michael. He worked continually, every morning and every hour, at the church of the holy Michael, and he stood before his image, praying and weeping with abundant tears and a pure heart, with great faith, while saying, "O chief of the angels Michael, have mercy on me and pray for me to the Lord your God, that he may give me sustenance and wealth." And he remained like this for many days, while praying and beseeching.

And after that, the bishop was with that man at the church of Saint Michael, the chief of the angels, in love and peace, while they were telling all the people the greatness of the miracles of Saint Michael, the chief of the angels, for whoever hears them—glorious, sweet, and pleasant—and from drink and wine that intoxicates, the bones of pride; his prayer and supplication become a wall and a fortress, and he breaks from us the snares of the enemy, the destroyer, and removes from above us sickness, and uproots from our hearts anger and bitterness, and grants us that we may pluck the fruit of life, perfect, for ever and ever. Amen.

The miracle of the glorious chief of the angels, Michael, and his greatness, which is with his servant. It is said that there was a poor man who, in his zeal, dwelt in a church built in the name of the chief of the angels, and he besought him day and night, saying, “O chief of the angels, my chief, beseech for me before God, that he may give me sustenance and wealth.” And he remained thus for many days. And on one day, the chief of the angels came to him and said, “O servant, you are deceitful and false; why do you beseech me thus, and yet you do not perform the work of fasting as I command you, and you do not keep vigil, and you do not sow as I command you? And now, go to the steward of the church and ask him for gold and a gift, and offer it to God and make a feast for the holy chief of the angels.” And he said to him, “O man, fear God, and the Holy Spirit dwells upon you; and his help shall be with you. And I also have remembered you in your prayer.” And the two of them remained together in love, while they recounted the miracles of the holy glorious one before God, concerning the son of the living one, whose help is with his servant, the servant of.
