Dear Friend in the Lord,
Archangels – Faith: In today’s celebration of the archangels, we are celebrating God’s special gifts to humanity represented by Michael, God’s Protector; Gabriel, God’s Messenger, and Raphael, God’s gift of health. Ponder on, “God’s love for us is wholesome and personal to ensure that we are always cared for, loved and blessed by Him.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 1:47-51
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming he said of him, ‘There is an Israelite in who deserves the name, incapable of deceit.’ ‘How do you know me?’ said Nathanael. ‘Before Philip came to call you’, said Jesus, ‘I saw you under the fig tree.’ Nathanael answered, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel.’
Jesus replied, ‘You believe that just because I said: I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.’ And then he added, ‘I tell you most solemnly, you will see heaven laid open and, above the Son of Man, the angels of God ascending and descending.’
