Metatron

Metatron is the mightiest of the Archangels. In fact, he is so powerful that he has 72 names. He resides with God in the seventh heaven. He is one of the few allowed to look directly upon the face of God. It is believed that he was once known on earth as Enoch.

“Enoch walked with God; then he was no more because God took him.” Gen 5:24

Devotion: Metatron teaches us that we are full of wonder at the splendor of His Creation.
The Lord brought the sun and stars to birth.
He taught us the night is spent and the day is a new beginning.
We marvel in the mystery of His power and the beauty of the message of love with the gift of hope from His son Jesus Christ.

Michael

There are only two angels mentioned by name in the Bible. One of them is Michael, the other is Gabriel. Michael is the commander-in –chief of the angelic hosts. Michael is a warrior angel, a protector against evil.  In the vision of Paul, Michael says:

“Hear Michael Speak! I am he who stands in the sight of God every hour…I do not stop one day or one night praying incessantly for the human race.”

Devotion: Michael is a protector, a mighty force against evil in our world. Michael brings us the message to fight with love and not be defeated by fear.

Raphael

The Archangel Raphael is associated with stories about healing. He is not referred to by name in the New Testament, but he is thought to be the angel who stirred the healing waters at the Pool Bethesda (near Jerusalem).

For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well…John 5:4

Devotion: As we enter this season of great joy, help to heal those of us who are struggling mentally or physically. Heal our hearts with love and fill the broken cracks in our soul with hope.

Gabriel

Gabriel the Archangel is the celestial being who delivered the message of destiny for Mary. It was Gabriel who brought the good tiding of the birth of Jesus. He also foretold the birth of John the Baptist. Joan of Arc said that he was her guide and inspiration and appeared to her many times. His name means ‘God is my strength.’

And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you.  Luke 1:28

Devotion: In this time of busy activities and expectations, my Gabriel remind me to once a day during Advent to be still, to quiet my mind and guide me to listen to the message God has for me. For God rejoices and is with me.

Last June, I received an inspiration and it started me on a journey that lasted over four months. My research took me back to 5,000 BC to the present day. It was all about angels. And it has been a fascinating and absorbing subject. The next few days I will share some thoughts with you about angels and invite you to be a part of my journey and visit the East Transept room for a revealing and more detailed look at angels

Angels are the invisible nudge that pushes us down the right road. They may be a whisper in our ear to resist temptation. They may be a soft breeze that descends on us like a cape of protection. They are there with a helping hand when we stumble. They bring us messages from God and surround us with His Love. That is their job. Our job is to be open to their presence in our world.

Devotion: All day, all night, angels watchin’ over me, my Lord. All day, all night,
                 Angels watchin’ over me.
