Homily for the Feast Day of Saint Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels.

The story of Nathaniel sitting under the fig tree suggests that he was a devoted rabbinical student dedicated to serving God. Nathaniel was known to have no duplicity and, as a result could recognize Jesus as the King of Isreal. The Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael serve as a reminder that their whole being becomes the message. Similarly, when we welcome Christ into our hearts, we become the message of his love to the world. 

Gospel John 1:47-51
