Archangels!

The Church celebrates the feast of the Holy Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. These archangels are mentioned in the Scriptures so we know how important they are. Raphael is mentioned in the Book of Tobit from the Old Testament. Gabriel is the messenger angel who announced the births of St. John the Baptist and Jesus. Michael is the angel mentioned in the battle at the end of time. As the opening prayer stated, "May those who serve you constantly in heaven keep our lives safe from all harm on earth." We know that the angels watch over us to keep us safe. There are even people who come as angels here on earth. We always know that God is watching over us and we thank Him for the archangels that we celebrate today! God Bless!!!
