Serviam

“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]

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