Archangels

Today is the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel.

Michael means "Who is like God?"

Raphael means Medicine of God.

Gabriel means Strength of God.

Can you think of anyone better to have on your side while praying for an end to abortion? As we ask God to bring healing, we can know that Raphael is at our side. As we ask God to help us persevere, we have Gabriel at our side. As we pray for victory, we know that Michael is winning the battle as recorded in the Book of Revelation:

7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

May God's holy angels heal your heart, bring you strength, and teach all of us that nobody is like God! To God be all glory, laud, and honor~
