Feast of Saint Michael 2025
This feast was originally celebrated in honor of St. Michael and all the angels.  We do not know the details of the test given to the angels, but we know that St. Michael stood as “First Champion of the Kingdom of Christ” in opposition to Lucifer’s rebellion.  Today we remember the dedication of a place of worship.  How fitting this is for the Archangel who chose to serve God at His altar.  During the Requiem Mass, we call upon St. Michael to carry our souls to Heaven after death.  In the Epistle of this Mass, we are given a glimpse of Heaven and the future.  We are told that the angels serve as God’s messengers, but more importantly, they remain before Him, praising Him for all eternity.  In the final days, St Michael will wage a battle against the Antichrist.  The Prince of the Heavenly Hosts will cast the Dragon into Hell in the end.
