Live liturgically this Lent with our free Lenten Guide. I pray that this Lent you are brought into your own darkness, your own powerlessness, your own deep surrender. I pray that you arrive to Good Friday united with the Crucified Christ. I pray that you arrive to the Easter season surrendered to Go...

Happy Feast of the Archangels! 🎉 🎉 🎉

✨I love being Catholic for many reasons, but one is the wonderful role of the angels in Catholic spirituality.

✨On this Feast Day, let’s talk about the meaning of the Archangels’ names. Notice they all end in “El,” which is the Hebrew word for God. This reminds us that the holy angels are all focused on God, completely in love with him, and literally would be nothing without him.

✝ “Michael” comes from three elements in Hebrew: mi, “who,” + chi, “like,” + el, “God.” Thus: “Who is like God?” St. Michael is absorbed in worship of God, to whom no created creature can compare.

✝ “Gabriel” comes from three elements: the root geber, “to be strong” + the suffix î, “my” + el, “God.” Thus: “God is my strength (or ‘strong one’).”

✝Finally, “Raphael” comes from rapha’, “to heal” + el, “God,” thus “God heals.”

✨ Getting to know the angels and calling on them for help and support doesn’t lead us away from God but rather to God, because the angels are radically God-centered!
