Michael -- Who is like God


Today is the Feast of the Archangels -- Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.  The Office of the Readings, in the Liturgy of the Hours, has as the non-biblical reading for this day, a section of a homily by St Gregory the Great.

He discusses the meanings of the names of the three Archangels who's names are used in the Bible.

Michael -- Who is like God
Gabriel  -- The strength of God
Raphael -- God's Remedy

In the Church where my granddaughter was Baptized, a week ago, is a stained glass window of St Michael the Archangel.

Let us pray this day for those named Michael, Gabriel and Raphael,
that they may know whose name they bear and why, and that they may experience God's Remedy.
