Feast of Archangels

Today holy mother church celebrates a special feast in honor of the three Archangels named in the holy Bible; Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.

Michael means who is like God. Gabriel means the strength of God. Raphael means God has helped. These Archangels, princes of angels are appointed by God in his service for the benefit of those who are to be served.

            As the archangels played their role in the history of salvation, so too must we play our role in the ongoing history of salvation. By our kindness, love and helpfulness we should become God’s angels, His messengers and His representatives to our fellow human being.
