Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels. These are the only three angels mentioned by name in Sacred Scripture. Saint Michael is acknowledged as a warrior saint who battles evil. Saint Gabriel is an angel who serves as a messenger for God. Saint Raphael is one of the seven Archangels who stand before the throne of the Lord. To recognize the feast the Church gives us a reading from the Gospel of John. This reading should draw to our mind the roll of the angels in salvation history. Their will is perfectly aligned to the will of God. It also provides us with an opportunity to consider what we need to do, to more perfectly align our will to the will of God. Let us dive into today’s Gospel.
