It has been suggested that this article be merged into Michael (archangel). (Discuss) Proposed since June 2025.

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.

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.
