Introduction: (An "Old" News Item): Pope Francis consecrates Vatican to St Michael Archangel
In 2013, Pope Francis, joined by Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the Vatican to the protection of St Michael Archangel and St Joseph.
Following a brief ceremony in the Vatican gardens, the Holy Father addressed those present:
"Michael struggles to restore divine justice and defends the People of God from his enemies, above all by the enemy par excellence, the devil. And St. Michael wins because in him, there is God who acts. In consecrating Vatican City State to St Michael the Archangel, I ask him to defend us from the evil one and banish him."

In the light of the above news item can we go on to imagine for a moment the Goetheanum, the world center for anthroposophy, as being consecrated to the Archangel Michael? Not only to protect it from evil, but as a radiating center from which comes the New Michael message of the Thinking Heart? Then to this we can add the words given by Rudolf Steiner in the Last Address:
"May (my) words so speak to your soul that you receive the Michael Thought in the sense of what a faithful follower of Michael may feel when, clothed in the light rays of the Sun, Michael appears and points us to that which must now take place.
For it must even be so that this Michael garment, this garment of Light, shall become the Words of the Worlds, which can transform the Logos of the Worlds into the Logos of Mankind."
| Prepared By the Holy Spirit In the Christ’s Love-Presence I cannot be As long as I’m Nature’s creature, I must at first have made myself free And in that Presence then be a potential co-creator. And for this free meeting Michael alone leads me where With the Spirit most Holy I can for it prepare. 8/30/14 Free and Realized in Heaven and on Earth I purpose myself, as only human beings can, With the goal of becoming free, And I purpose again what must follow that, Which is to realize that freedom of me. For my first purpose I find I must to heaven go, For the second free deeds on Earth I bestow. 9/3/14
The One to Be Found
My higher self, the heavenly one,
Has sent me on a great mission
To the Earth, where I am there to wake up
And become the great Truth of the Earth condition.
So to Earth I have come to experience illness and pain
And lies and deceit and betrayal,
And loss of others I love very much
And experience despair and the great urge for withdrawal,
But I’ve stayed for it's here where I can only be
Working toward Oneness
with the One who sent me.

When the Thinking Spirit Comes to Self-Knowledge Saturn and Sun came to be, And for the creation of the Thinking Spirit itself Moon and Earth had to serve quite perfectly. The Thinker became conscious in the Moon-Garden Fall And self-conscious on Earth when dualism ruled all. And now in the present of this knowledge at the core, The spirit thinker who thinks this knows he’s the one it’s all for. 8/4/14 Nevermore to Die The I opens itself to the spirit, The living spirit that then enters in And this living spirit has the “I” for its sheath Which it then develops most strongly to win Itself as spirit self forming and living as “I,” Immortal, eternal, nevermore to die. 7/29/14
The Great and Glorious Countenance
Smile if you will when enthusiastically
I describe the great, glorious nature
Of Lord Michael, the Freedom Lord,
The Bridge-master of our Present's true Future.
For Michael is the one and only Countenance of
The Christ, our Source of World-Working Free Love.
