Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael
Today, September 29th, we celebrate the feast of:
The Holy Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael
In the biblical tradition, angels are messengers and signs of God's presence. Scripture presents them as servants of His saving plan, protectors of God's people, and close to humanity. Christianity recognizes them as heavenly spirits at the service of God. Today we celebrate the three archangels who appear by name in the biblical books: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Their joint feast is celebrated on September 29, a date traditionally linked to the dedication of the ancient Basilica of Saint Michael on the Via Salaria in Rome.
Saint Michael, Archangel
His name means “Who is like God?” and expresses God's victory over evil. In the Old Testament, he appears as the protector of the people of Israel, especially in the Book of Daniel. In the New Testament, we find him as a defender against the power of evil in the Epistle of Jude and above all in the Book of Revelation, where he fights the dragon and his angels. He is venerated as a defender of the Church and the faithful. Devotion to him spread first in the East and later in the West, with numerous sanctuaries and churches dedicated in his name. Saint Michael is also a patron saint of the mountain of Montserrat, where one of the hermitages is dedicated to him.
Saint Gabriel, Archangel
His name means “strength of God.” He is God's messenger who announces the fulfillment of His will. In the Book of Daniel, he appears as the angel who helps interpret the prophet's visions, and in the Gospel of Luke, he announces the birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah and, above all, presents God's plan of salvation to Mary. For this reason, he is venerated as God's messenger and the herald of salvation. In 1951, he was proclaimed the patron saint of telecommunications and its specialists and workers.
Saint Raphael, Archangel
His name means “God heals.” He is best known from the Book of Tobit, where he accompanies Tobias on his journey, helps him overcome the dangers of the road, teaches him how to cure the blindness of his father Tobit, and frees Sarah from the evil that afflicted her. He is venerated as the protector of travelers and the sick.
