Feast of the Archangels

MASS INTRODUCTION:
Commentator:

Happy Feast Day and welcome to our Eucharistic Celebration!

Today we celebrate the feast of the three Archangels whose names we know. St Michael was the
archangel who fought against Satan and all his evil angels, defending all the friends of God. He is a really
powerful protector from the snares of the devil. St Gabriel announced to Zachariah the forthcoming
birth of St John the Baptist, and to Our Lady, the birth of Jesus. We are very familiar with his greeting to
Mary, “Hail, full of grace,” and repeat it thousands of times. St Raphael took care of Tobias on his
journey and especially protects young people who entrust themselves to him.

May we ask for protection from this powerful archangel very often; may St Michael protect all Christians
and fight with us in this battle against the enemy and so help us to get to Heaven.

Let us all stand and joyfully sing our entrance hymn.

LITURGY OF THE WORD First Reading - Dn 7:9-10, 13-14

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Daniel

As I watched:

    Thrones were set up


        and the Ancient One took his throne.
    His clothing was bright as snow,
        and the hair on his head as white as wool;
    His throne was flames of fire,
        with wheels of burning fire.
    A surging stream of fire
        flowed out from where he sat;
    Thousands upon thousands were ministering to him,
        and myriads upon myriads attended him.

The court was convened, and the books were opened.


As the visions during the night continued, I saw

    One like a son of man coming,


        on the clouds of heaven;
4

    When he reached the Ancient One


        and was presented before him,
    He received dominion, glory, and kingship;
        nations and peoples of every language serve him.
    His dominion is an everlasting dominion
        that shall not be taken away,
        his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Reader : The Word of the Lord


All : Thanks be to God

RESPONSORIAL PSALM  Ps 138:1-2ab, 2cde-3, 4-5


R.    (1) In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart,


    for you have heard the words of my mouth;
    in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple
    and give thanks to your name.
R.    In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

Because of your kindness and your truth;


    for you have made great above all things
    your name and your promise.
When I called, you answered me;
    you built up strength within me.
R.    In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

All the kings of the earth shall give thanks to you, O LORD
    when they hear the words of your mouth;
And they shall sing of the ways of the LORD
    “Great is the glory of the LORD
R.    In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

PROCLAMATION OF GOSPEL Jn 1:47-51


Presider:
The Lord be with you.
All: And with your Spirit.

Presider:
A proclamation from the Holy Gospel according to John.
All: Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him,


“Here is a true child of Israel.
There is no duplicity in him.”
Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
Nathanael answered him,
“Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree?
You will see greater things than this.”
And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you,
you will see heaven opened
and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
