Today we honor St. Michael the Archangel, St. Gabriel, the Archangel who brought God's invitation to Mary, and St. Raphael, who played a major role in the Book of Tobit. All do God's bidding willingly and effectively, We pray often to St Michael the Archangel to defend us in the battle, one no one can deny is raging in the four corners of the planet and in the hearts of us all. Violence, hatred, deceit, corruption abound. We certainly do need a heavenly defender.
Gabriel brought the invitation to hope and the promise of salvation to us, and Raphael, "God has healed", brings the assurance that the battle will be won (is won) and healing will come in God's good time. When we feel inundated or lost as we read or hear "the news", we can turn to these three for assurance that God is still very much with us and will not let us perish.
