On the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels, We Need These Messengers of Hope

September 29, 2020 By Tina Clark Leave a Comment

When angels appear to people in scripture the first thing they say is, “Do not be afraid!” And that’s what I need to hear today, on the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels.

So, why not angelic messengers?

September 29, 2019 By Drew Bunting 1 Comment

In America, we use angels to sell pretty good toilet paper and terrible lingerie. We’re not much for the six-winged terror holding a burning coal to the prophet’s lips (Isaiah 6:2-7). We prefer fat cherubs with harps to sentinels with spinning, flaming swords (Genesis 3:24). Our angels aren’t divine messengers, and they don’t start their sentences with, “Fear not!” They are boring and uncool.

Angels are messengers of God, sent to help us when we’re not hearing the still small voice.

Don’t be shy about talking with your own children about angels. They may know more than you do.

Preparing to Celebrate St. Michael & All Angels

Angels appear in about half the books of the Bible and are mentioned over 300 times. They fulfill the function of gateway – or bridge – between heaven and earth.
