In the sight of the angels, I will sing your praises, Lord.
BLESS THE LORD, ALL YOU ANGELS, YOU MINISTERS, WHO DO HIS WILL.
(Gospel Versicle, Mass)
Today's photo speaks much for our reflection. This is Mary, Queen of Angels, painted by Sister Protasia Schlinder, OSB (d. 1959). It hangs in the Artisans' Room at Queen of Angels Monastery in Mount Angel, OR. In the sight of these angels, and as we celebrate the glorious archangels, Saint Michael "Who is like God", Saint Gabriel "The Strength of God", and Saint Raphael "God's Remedy", it is a good day to sing the praises of the Lord. Saint Michael, protect us from all the forces that blind us, and weaken our faith and trust in the Lord. Saint Gabriel, help us to do God's will and with Mary say, May it be done to me according to your word. Saint Raphael, heal us from our wounds so that we carry our crosses with dignity and follow Jesus more closely. Mary, Queen of Angels, pray for us.
SAINT MICHAEL,
SAINT GABRIEL,
SAINT RAPHAEL,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
