Serviam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Serviam!” was the cry of St. Michael in response to Lucifer

Serviam is Latin for "I will serve." This was the cry of St. Michael the Archangel as a response to Lucifer's "I will not serve" (Non serviam) when God put the angels to the test.

In Catholicism

[edit]

Bishop Gerard L. Frey, who once headed the dioceses of Savannah, Ga., and Lafayette used it as his motto.[1]

In the Caballero de Gracia church in Madrid, there's this word up in the altar[2]

It is also recommended as a morning prayer or morning offering.[citation needed]
