MICHAEL Our Byzantine Catholic Liturgical Year is like a beautiful mosaic made up of the feast of our Lord, the Mother of God, and immense communion of Martyrs and . Christ, as God and as Man. Day and night, His Pilgrim church on earth and in heaven, the Church in glory, that is the very great choir of Angels and Saints are God's everlasting choir of glory; they are the messengers and servants of God. The Angels also fulfill a great role in the redemption of the human race.

AFL The , conscious of the great significance of the Angels for the glory of God and our , has provided a special place for the veneration of the Angels in the Liturgical year. Here, first place is given to the Feast of the Synaxis of Michael the Archangel.

The chief aim of this feast is to praise and honor Saint Michael the Archangel and the entire heavenly host. All his glory stems from the fact that in defense of God's glory he led all the good angels against the rebellion of Satan. Hence, his noble title, `Chief Captain or Commander in chief of Angels. He is represented in iconography as a military leader clothed in full armor with a helmet on his head and a fiery sword in his hand, while under his feet writhes the dragon, the symbol of Satan.

This feast indicates to us the significant role the Angels play in our salvation. It also reminds us of our duties towards Angels, especially toward our Guardian Angel. Throughout our entire life, at every moment and in every place our guardian angel watches over us, protects us, inspires us with good thoughts, warns us against sin, and intercedes for us before God. From this comes our duty to venerate the holy angels, to praise them and most especially to thank them. Therefore, let us strive to love God as the Angels love Him, with greater fervor, and zealously carry out God's will as Saint Michael does and as do all the other Angels in heaven.

SHARING Though we spend our entire lives in an attempt to gather to ourselves all the wealth and material riches which may come our way, still we have not lived. TO LIVE...is to serve, and to serve is to share; to share is to reach out to a in need, and in so sharing, the gift is replaced with a measure added. It is the normal process, it is nature's way.
