SEPTEMBER 29, 2026 | FEAST OF STS. MICHAEL, GABRIEL, AND RAPHAEL
Today, we joyfully celebrate the Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the holy Archangels, who faithfully serve God and carry out His divine will. Their presence in Sacred Scripture reminds us that God works in ways beyond what we can see and that He continually guides, protects, and accompanies His people.
St. Michael, whose name means “Who is like God?”, reminds us to remain courageous in the face of evil and to stand firmly in our faith. His example calls us to defend what is good and to place our trust in the power and goodness of God.
St. Gabriel, the messenger of God, reminds us of the importance of listening and responding to God's call. Through his message to Mary, we see the beauty of obedience and trust in God's plan. His example encourages us to open our hearts and say yes to God's will, even when we do not fully understand where He is leading us.
St. Raphael, whose name means “God heals,” reminds us of God's loving presence throughout our journey. He teaches us to trust in God's guidance and to recognize that the Lord never abandons us, especially in moments when we need His help and direction.
As we celebrate their feast, may the holy Archangels inspire us to become faithful servants of God—courageous like Michael, obedient like Gabriel, and trusting like Raphael. May their intercession strengthen us in our journey of faith and help us to faithfully fulfill the mission God has entrusted to each of us.
