Michael and his angels

“War broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.” (RV 12: 7-8)

Today we celebrate three archangels: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. They became an important part of the history of salvation, from the “war in heaven” until the Annunciation. We can ask them always to assist us, like Raphael assisted Tobias. We can invite them into to our lives to help us to fulfill God’s will. 

“Bless the LORD, all you angels, you ministers, who do his will.” (Gospel Acclamation)
