Yesterday was the Feast of the Archangels St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. This feast is popularly called “Michaelmas.” St. Michael (“Who is like God?”) is the Archangel who fought Satan. He is the protector of all people and reminds the faithful of the real existence of the Devil and demonic activity. He is invoked for protection from the snares of the devil. St. Gabriel (“Strength of God”) announced to St. Zechariah the birth of St. John the Baptist and to the Blessed Virgin Mary the birth of Christ. His greeting to Our Lady, “Hail, full of grace,” is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Church. St. Raphael (“Medicine of God”) is the Archangel who cared for Tobias on his journey. This day honors the archangels in various Christian traditions. The feast has roots dating back to the 5th century, initially celebrated in Rome. This feast day is a time for reflection, gratitude, and community, celebrating the protective role of St. Michael in Christian tradition. But most importantly a time for remembering who exactly we have on our side, in the battles we sometimes face.

Trust Me
Do you believe I am the Son of God?
And do you believe that I died for all men and women and that I rose from the dead?
Then why do you continue to be distracted and anxious about your loved ones?
Do they not belong to Me?
Would I refuse to work in their lives just as I work in yours?
I have not put you in charge of redeeming them.
I have already done that.
Nor do you have the power to change their hearts;
only my Holy Spirit searches and knows the deepest hearts of men and women, and only He can heal their deepest wounds.
Your task is to love, to forgive, to pray for them and to turn them over to Me.
Come closer to me yourself, and I will do the rest.
TRUST ME!
