Daniel 7:9-10, 13-14 or Apocalypse 12:7-12 / John 1:47-51
As human beings, we can't avoid being influenced and maybe even affected by spiritual happenings.
But we may be more inclined to believe that there are evil spirits roaming around to scare the wits out of us and even to harm us, than to believe in angels that look like cute chubby babies with wings.
But in the spiritual world of the unseen and the invisible, if we believe in the existence of evil spirits, then all the more we too must believe in the presence of angels.
Today we celebrate the feast of three archangels: Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.
All three names end with "el", which is the old Jewish word for "God".
The name Michael means "Who can be like God?" - it is a name that has the form of a rhetoric question.
Gabriel means "the power of God". He announced the Good News of salvation to Zechariah and Mary and manifested God's saving power.
Raphael means "the healing power of God". He brought about God's healing power in the book of Tobit.
Though God is unseen, yet through these three archangels, He manifested His power and presence.
Indeed, who can be like God, who is so almighty and loving that He saved us through His Son, and forgave our sins and healed us of our transgessions.
We just need to praise and glorify the Lord God with the response from the psalm: In the presence of the angels I will bless you, O Lord.
