Daily Reflection: Friday, September 29
Friday, September 29, 2023 – Feast of St. Michael, St. Gabriel, and St. Raphael https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/092923.cfm
Who are Michael, Gabriel and Raphael? They are Archangels. What are Archangels? The website Catholic Daily Reflection stated that; “An archangel is the second order of angels just above the guardian angels. In all, there are nine orders of celestial beings that we commonly refer to as angels and all nine of these orders are traditionally organized into three spheres.
The entire hierarchy is traditionally organized this way:
Highest Sphere: Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones. Middle Sphere: Dominions, Virtues and Powers. Lower Sphere: Principalities, Archangels and Angels (Guardian Angels).”
What is more important than their definition is that fact that God cares so much for us that he gives us what we need in order to live our lives in love and not to live in fear.
Scott F. Brookbank, OFM
