Today is Sept 29 and on our church calendar, it is the feast of the archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. One is the defender, one is the announcer and one is the healer. (That's my own summary)"These angels are manifestataions of God's gracious love, care and concern for each one of us." "God's strength" -Gabriel, one who brings great messages. Raphael, "God's remedy/God's healing". These angels remind us that God never leaves aus alone. God always accompanies us on our journey.
Michael- "one who is like unto God". Raphael is the angel who protects travelers and the patron saint of the sick. A friend told me recently that her best friend is her daughter's guardian angel. Another friend told me she blesses the outside of the airplane as she boards the plane and invites her guardian angels to step out onto the wings and travel with her until she safely lands. What angels are a part of your life? I can think of many friends who've been my angels, and who still are.
