The Heavenly Host arrives at last before the walls of the South Capital. What follows is not a battle so much as a verdict – rendered in powder, fire, and seven days of smoke and blood. A city is taken, renamed, and remade in the image of a kingdom the likes of which the world has never seen before. This is the story of the Becoming that finally arrived; of the current that finally found its place to pool... and what it cost to stop.

Now they will find out what it's all been leading toward. This is the story of the Kingdom In Motion, and the river that carried it east.

In this Christmastide homily, Jackson Cole reflects on angels as created spiritual messengers who worship Jesus and proclaim His supremacy throughout all Creation. The messages they carry often begin with the same refrain, "Fear not," echoing a reality that is only true in union with Christ: "Perfect love casts out fear."

Join us as we worship the Lord, fellowship together, and continue our Christmas series! Followers of Christ are to be people who "admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord" (Col. 3:16; cf. Eph. 5:19). Do you follow this instruction? Is your heart bubbling over with joy? If not, allow the Christmas Season to get you into this posture again. Look to the One True God made flesh for your salvation. Look to the Savior in the manger. Look to all the characters (Mary, John, Zechariah, the Heavenly Host) who sing and dance for joy, and enter their joy!

The holy Scriptures, from beginning to end, are filled with mentions and descriptions of the Heavenly Host: not to believe in angels is not to believe in the Bible. In the heavens they behold the face of God, eternally hymning His glory. They are intimately involved with mankind as well: an angel is appointed guardian over every nation, and over every individual Christian. The Archangels Michael and Gabriel, whom we especially commemorate today along with all the other bodiless powers, have served as messengers to man. "Michael" means "Who is like God?";"Gabriel" means "God is mighty." Gabriel especially was appointed to announce the coming of Christ in the flesh. There is no reckoning the number of the Heavenly Host, though we know that they are a great multitude. They are ranked in nine orders, called Thrones, Cherubim, Seraphim, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. "Angel" means "herald" or "messenger" and is properly applied only to those who serve as messengers from God to man; but the name is often applied to the entire host of bodiless powers. Though bodiless, the angels are finite in knowledge, extension and power. The angel Lucifer, once the highest of them all, desired to be like God Himself, and was cast forever from the presence of God, along with countless others who followed him. These we now know as Satan and the demons. (Needless to say, they are not commemorated today).

Friends of the Rosary,Today, September 29, is the feast day of the three Archangels named in Sacred Scripture, all with key roles in the history of salvation: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.Saint Michael is the "Prince of the Heavenly Host," the leader of all the angels, who cast down Lucifer and the evil spirits into Hell when they rebelled against God. His name is Hebrew for "Who is like God?". He is mentioned four times in the Bible, in Daniel 10 and 12, in the letter of Jude, and in Revelation.In 1899, Pope Leo XIII, having had a prophetic vision of the evil that would be inflicted upon the Church and the world in the 20th century, instituted a prayer asking for Saint Michael's protection to be said at the end of every Mass.Christian tradition recognizes four offices of Saint Michael: (i) to fight against Satan, (ii) to rescue the souls of the faithful from the power of the enemy, especially at the hour of death. (iii) to be the champion of God's people, (iv) to call away from earth and bring men's souls to judgment."I am Gabriel, who stands before God." (Luke 1, 19)Saint Gabriel, whose name means "God's strength," announced the Incarnation of the Word in the womb of Mary and the birth of John the Baptist to his father Zacharias. He also appeared to St. Joseph and to the shepherds, and "strengthened" Jesus during his agony in the garden of Gethsemane."I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord" (Tob 12:15)Saint Raphael means "God has healed" because of his healing of Tobias' blindness in the Book of Tobit. His office is to be that of healing and acts of mercy.Raphael is also identified with the angel in John 5:1-4 who descended upon the pond and bestowed healing powers.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:13-14
