ANGEL DEVOTION
From infancy to death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession.
—Catechism of the Catholic Church
Why pray to angels? Why not just pray to God directly, in the name of Jesus, as he taught us? In the Roman Catholic tradition, at least, the answer lies in the word intercession, as in intercede for us
with God. For some reason, we often feel more comfortable praying to the mother of Jesus, or to one of the saints that the church has canonized, or even to loved ones who have died and we are sure now enjoy God’s presence in a special and real way, even though they are now spirits.
So it is not difficult for us to also have devotion to angelic beings who were always spirits. After all, they’ve been around for a lot longer than human beings have, and they always seem to show up at really important times. (For example, they brought Abraham the news that his wife Sarah was pregnant, led the Israelites through the desert, announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of the Messiah, let the shepherds in the fields know that Jesus had been born, and will be battling Satan and his demons during the world’s final conflict.) The word angel means messenger.
We don’t really know much about angels. Only three of them—Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—are mentioned by name in the Bible. But the job of all angels seems to be to help protect us, and so we have also come to believe in our personal Guardian Angel.
This book has compiled devotional prayers to these four angels, which can be used to ask for their intercession with God for us.
• Michael the Archangel: Michael means Who is like God?
He is mentioned by name in Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12:7 and is generally thought to be the leader of the angelic forces against the forces of evil. Therefore he is asked to help us have courage, resist temptation, and remain safe in dangerous situations.
• Gabriel the Archangel: Gabriel means God is my strength.
He is mentioned by name in Daniel 8:16; 9:21; and of course in Luke 1:19, 26 and is the messenger of God’s will to Daniel, Zechariah, Mary, and probably others. Therefore he is asked to help
