Dear Parishioners,
What a wonderful day we celebrate today in the Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Sometimes this day is referred to as “Michaelmass Day” after Michael, the powerful one who is depicted battling Satan.
But we also know Gabriel as God’s messenger; and, a little less known, Raphael as God’s medicine or healer.
Perhaps in this time of pandemic our prayers for intercession might rise to Raphael to send God’s healing presence upon our land and to bring healing to our physical and spiritual wounds.
The journey continues…keeping the faith!
Blessings,
Fr. Mark
