Celebrate the Archangels

Each year as the warm days of summer turn to the coolness and bright colors of autumn, the Church celebrates the work and ministry of angels. We begin this celebration on Sept. 29, with the feast of the archangels — Raphael, Michael and Gabriel. The Scriptures speak of how angels are sent to assist in God’s plan of salvation. They bring messages, accompany the faithful along the path of daily life.

How to talk about Guardian Angels

Angels serve to protect and serve the faithful. “From infancy to death human life is surrounded by their watchful care and protection. Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.” (CCC, No. 336)

Gospel reflection questions

Oct. 3 – Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time 

Mk 10:2-16: In today’s Gospel, some people try to trap Jesus. Yet, Jesus teaches about what is most important: faithfulness in relationships and what God’s kingdom is like. Jesus used a child to show the best way to trust in God’s love and care.

How do the disciples respond when the children come to Jesus? Why do you think they did that?
