Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael
“Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them.”
Jesus said, “You will see greater things than this.”
Our journey of faith is not a sprint.
It’s a walk.
A daily walk with God.
Sometimes uphill.
Sometimes slow.
Sometimes filled with wonder.
And often… very ordinary.
Today, we celebrate the archangels—Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.
They are not just names in scripture.
They are signs of God’s presence—defenders, messengers, healers.
They appear in moments that shimmer with grace.
Moments that break through the veil between heaven and earth.
But most of our lives… are not shimmering.
Most days are quiet.
Ordinary.
Repetitive.
We wake, we work, we pray, we rest.
And sometimes, we wonder—where is God in all this?
Yet even the ordinary may seem extraordinary to someone else.
A child watching a grandparent pray.
A nurse offering a gentle word.
A parishioner lighting a candle with trembling hands.
These moments—so small—are radiant to the eyes of heaven.
The archangels remind us:
God walks with us.
Not only in the thunder.
But in the whisper.
Not only in the miracle.
But in the mundane.
Not only in the rare.
But in the rhythm.
Find God in all things.
In every step.
In every breath.
In every moment of the journey.
So today, as we honor these heavenly companions,
Let us ask for their help—not only to see the great things,
But to notice the grace in the small things.
To walk with God—not just in the peaks,
But in the path beneath our feet.
To rejoice, not just in heaven,
But here.
In this moment.
In this breath.
Amen.
Pray- Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael
Lord,
As we walk this daily path,
Help us see You not only in the great things,
But in the quiet ones.
In the whisper, the rhythm, the breath.
With Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael beside us,
May we find You in the simple,
And rejoice in the sacred hidden within the ordinary.
Amen.
