Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels September 29 |
|
Archangels; Saint Michael [Who is like to God?] is patron of Policemen, paratroopers, mariners, grocers and the sick [Daniel 10:13, 21, 12:1, Jude 9, Revelation 12:7]; Saint Gabriel [Man of God] is patron of Communications Workers [Daniel 8:16, 9:21, Luke 1:19, 26]; Saint Raphael [God heals] is patron of Travelers [ Tobit 5:4 - 12:22] There are nine choirs of angels: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones; Dominations, Virtues, Powers; Principalities, Archangels, Angels; These three are the only ones named in Scripture; Though names as archangels, it is likely that their rank is much higher
