Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael

John 1:47-51






*Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel,
and Raphael. Meditating on these angels can tell us a great deal about the
priesthood, for they exemplify the three fundamental tasks of the priest:
healer, fighter, and evangelizer. Raphael is a healer; consult the book of
Tobit for the details. Michael is a fighter. When Satan dares to claim
equality with God, Michael speaks his name, Mich-a-el? Who is like God? And
this is his victory. And Gabriel is the great messenger angel, the one who
announces the Incarnation to a young maiden of Nazareth.Perhaps more than
ever today, people are suffering with what the hymn calls "sin-sick souls."
The great salve for all of these wounds is Jesus Christ. But who will bring
this salve to a hurting world? This is why Christ raises up priests. Just
think of the racism, the hatred, and the injustice that reign everywhere.
Who will fight? This is why Christ raises up priests, as new
Michaels.Finally, Jesus is a preacher. He is, after all, the Word of God
made flesh. Therefore, we shouldn’t be surprised that the Word comes forth
from him with unique power. *
