St. Michael The Archangel
Feast Day - September 29th
Whereas Satan boasted that he would be like the Most High, Michael's name, which means, "Who is like God?" stands in humble contrast. Hence it was fitting that God should give him command of the army that cast the rebel angels outs of heaven (Rev 12:7). Michael continues to contend with the devil (e.g., Jude 9), thwarting his attempts to lead souls astray, while St. Gregory the Great preached that God sends Michael to accomplish works of marvelous power so that "by the very act and by his name it may be understood that no one can do what God is able to do." Identified in Daniel (12: 1) as the guardian of God's people, Michael now watches over the Catholic Church, the people of the New Covenant. The Roman tradition also attributes to Michael responsibility for bringing departed souls to judgment where, by his intercession, they hope to enter the light of heaven.
