Monday, Memorial of Saints Michael, Gabriel & Raphael, Archangels
Revelation 12:7-12     <*{{{{><  +  ><}}}}*>     John 1:47-51

Thank you dearest
God our loving Father
for your gift of Archangels
helping us fight our many 
spiritual battles in life;
the wholesale corruption
and looting in government
in connivance with some
contractors has unmasked
the realities of the demons
led by Satan working hard
here in on earth
right in our country;
more than the billions of pesos
they have looted from government,
they have put so many lives in
danger and misery.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the Authority of his Anointed… They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; love for life did not deter them from death. Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a sort time” (Revelation 12:10, 11-12).

But the greatest spiritual battle
against evil and sin, Lord
happens not in government offices
nor halls of Congress nor of the
streets; they happen right here
in our hearts.

All the evil happening now started
in our selfish hearts,
in our malicious minds,
in our uncontrolled appetites for
comfort and luxuries.

Help us fight the demons
within us, Lord Jesus;
pray for us, St. Michael
that we may have the strength
and courage to stand firm
in what is true and just;
pray for us St. Gabriel
that we may speak the
gospel and life of God in this
world so misled by the words
and images of evil masquerading
as good and beautiful; 
pray for us St. Raphael
that we may heal from our
many afflictions in body,
mind, heart and soul.
Amen.
