On September 29th, the anniversary of the dedication of a church in Rome to the Archangel Michael was celebrated. The church was on Salario Street. People thought that the memory of the other archangels and of “all the incorporeal powers” should be added.
Michael is the archangel who defends against Satan and his followers. He protects God’s friends and watches over people.
Scripture says that Gabriel is “in the presence of God.” The angel sends them to announce the births of the Baptist and Jesus. In the Old Testament, he revealed God’s plan to Daniel.
God’s plan for history (Dn 8:16; 9:21).
Raphael means “God heals him.” He is also among the seven angels who stand before the throne of God. He helps people. He accompanied Tobias on his journey and cured his father of blindness.
