The Archangels -The Holy Angels with Msgr John Esseff

September 15, 2016

Msgr. Esseff begins a series of teachings on The Holy Angels.  In this episode, he discusses our THE ARCHANGELS.

He addresses many topics including:

The role of the Archangel

St. Gabriel, the messenger of God

St. Raphel, the healer of God

St. Michael, who is like God?

Calling upon the aid of the Archangels

335 In her liturgy, the Church joins with the angels to adore the thrice-holy God. She invokes their assistance (in the funeral liturgy's In Paradisum deducant te angeli. . .["May the angels lead you into Paradise. . ."]). Moreover, in the "Cherubic Hymn" of the Byzantine Liturgy, she celebrates the memory of certain angels more particularly (St. Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, and the guardian angels).

PRAYER TO
SAINT MICHAEL
THE ARCHANGEL
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
