Welcome to the Parish of
St. John the Evangelist
Conception Bay South, Newfoundland
26 September 2010
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil may God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host. By the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about he world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
Dear Friends in Christ,
Today we celebrate those mysterious beings which scripture calls “angels” a name, which comes from the Greek word for “messengers”. Messengers from God can be visible or invisible, and may take human or non-human forms. Christians have always felt themselves to be attended by healthful spirits – swift, powerful, and enlightening. These spirits are often depicted in Christian art in human forms, with wings, with swords, and dazzling raiment .
Of the many angels mentioned in the Bible, only four are called by name: Michael, Gabriel, U’Riel, and Raphael. In the Book of Revelation, the Archangel Michael is presented as the powerful agent of God who wards off evil from God’s people and delivers peace to them at the end of this life’s mortal struggle.
