The Interrelationship of the Three Archangels

We may ask ourselves what relationship exists between the respective roles of the three Archangels: St. Michael, St. Gabriel and St. Raphael. They seem to constitute a kind of closed circuit, a totality, in the manner of a trinity. How is this “trinity” linked to the entire angelic world? All …

God’s Ambassadors, Models for Men

What is an Angel? Sacred Scripture and the Church’s tradition enable us to discern two aspects. On the one hand, the Angel is a creature who stands before God, oriented to God with his whole being. All three names of the Archangels [Michael, Gabriel and Raphael] end with the word …

St. Raphael the Archangel - Divine Benevolence Personified in an Angel

One dominating characteristic of contemporary society is that of reducing supposedly free citizens to a demeaning anonymity, as if they were no more than parts or mere numbers of an inflated State. Since the awakening of reason, we feel like just another unknown element amidst millions of others just like …

St. Michael the Archangel - Protector of the Holy Church
Creation was yet in its beginning, and the Angels were in a state of trial. Overflowing with love for these works of His hands, God had decided, as is the widely held opinion among renowned theologians, to reveal to them the plans of His heart: the Incarnation of the Second …

Seven Archangels - God’s General Staff
Perhaps Angels are not as we imagine them to be. Several centuries of sentimental religious iconography have ended up peddling us a kind of standardized figure of the winged personage: a youth – or child, according to the taste of the patron – dressed in light robes, or none at …

Maternal Aid in Times of Need

Blessed Maria de Jesus López de Rivas - A Fiery Heart, Accustomed to Heroism
Let us turn our attention to the fervid lands of Spain. Its vast expanses have seen the birth of countless Saints and heroes. The combative Ignatius of Loyola, his zealous disciple St. Francis Xavier, and the austere St. John of the Cross are but a few examples. Among these illustrious …

The Cross, Symbol of Honour and Fearlessness
The Cross of Christ and the crosses that we carry for Him are also symbols of our honour. This means receiving humiliation with our head held high, taking pride in it – and moreover, with a spirit of defiance. In face of those who insult us, let us proclaim the …

The Secret of the Angelic Victory
The Book of Job expresses a reality that we live every day: “Militia est vita hominis super terram – The life of man upon earth is a warfare” (7:1). This daily struggle is a reflection of the prœlium magnum in Heaven, between St. Michael’s army and the insurgent angels. Under …
