MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
I n the Church calendar on
September 29 we honour the three great archangels mentioned in scripture: Michael, Gabriel and, Rafael. Michael is described in the book of Daniel and in the Book of Revelation as the great defender in the spiritual battles of our time. Gabriel is the messenger of God’s word in the Book of Daniel and Luke’s Gospel. Rafael is the bringer of healing in the book of Tobit and accompanies travelers.
The prayer to St Michael helps us in the battle against temptation, pornography, abortion and euthanasia, abuse of others, and dishonesty...
S t. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
On October 2 we have the memorial of the guardian angels. The Catholic Catechism says “the whole life of the church benefits from the mysterious and powerful help of angels (334)”. The angels help us to adore God in our liturgy on earth. For example in the funeral liturgy we have the petition “...may the angels lead you into paradise…”
XXV Sunday in Ordinary Time
Pope Clement X made this recognition of the guardian angels a universal celebration of the church in the 17th century.
Saint Basil teaches us that “beside every believer stands an angel as a protector and shepherd leading that person to eternal life.” The guardian angel is a messenger from God to us to inspire us, to prompt us for our protection and for the good of our faith. Fr. Galvon

Michael's Altar in St. Peter's Basilica.

XXV Sunday in Ordinary Time Mass Readings
First Reading Wisdom 2.12, 17-20 Let us condemn him to a shameful death .
Responsorial Psalm 54 R. The Lord upholds my life.
Second Reading James 3.16-4.3 A harvest of righteousness is sown in peace.
Gospel Mark 9.30-37 The Son of Man will be betrayed. Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.
Mass Reflection The Son of Man is to be handed over to men. (Mark 9:31)
W hat a remarkable statement! As he begins his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus tells his disciples—and
us—that he will be handed over. He will become passive, powerless in our hands. He will leave it up to us to decide what to do with him. It’s just as the prophet Isaiah had said, “Like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers, he did not open his mouth” (Isaiah 53:7).
This is a strong contrast to everything we have seen Jesus do so far. From the moment he burst onto the scene, Jesus was at the center of attention—healing people, contending with opponents, calming storms, and multiplying bread. He always took the lead. He always spoke with authority. He was the one shaping the story. But at the cross, where it matters the most? Jesus remained quiet, humble, and vulnerable.
The truth is, this is what Jesus intended all along. He came as God’s gift to us. A gift doesn’t tell the recipient how to use it. He left it up to us to decide how we were going to receive him. We didn’t have to reject him as many of his people did. We didn’t have to deny him as Peter did. We didn’t have to kill him as the Romans did. We could have embraced him and accepted his message of salvation. But we didn’t.
And still God handed him over. He didn’t take back his gift. Even today, God continues to hand Jesus to us. At every Mass, on every altar, in every Communion line, Jesus is placed in our hands as God’s gift of salvation. None of us are worthy to receive him. None of us accept him as fully as we should. But that doesn’t stop him. He still gives himself to sinful men and women. He still offers his salvation to us. Let’s return his gesture and hand ourselves over to him.
“Lord, I am not worthy to receive you. Please keep speaking your words to me so that I may be healed.”
