The angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man::: Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael

Year A 29th September, 2020 FEAST OF THE ARCHANGELS MICHAEL, GABRIEL AND RAPHAEL Daniel 7:9-10.13-14 or Revelation 12:7-12a Psalm 138:1-2a.2bcd-3.4-5 (R. see 1b) John 1:47-51 The angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man Let us look at the angels today as we reflect on the Statement of Jesus Christ to the Israel in whom there is no guile.
