Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels

Gospel for September 29, 2026.

Verse of the day

About today

Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are named in Scripture as messengers and ministers of the Most High: the one who stands against the dragon, the one who announces the Incarnation, the one who heals and guides. Their feast on 29 September is not a story about ourselves, but a confession that God is not alone in his court, and that we are not alone in the fight. Ask today for the protection of the holy angels, and for a will aligned with “Who is like God?”

Original – Prayer on Fire.

John 1:47–51

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.” Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.” Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.” And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.”
