+ St. Michael the Archangel +
St. Michael is one of the principal angels; his name was the war-cry of the good angels in the battle fought in heaven against the enemy and his followers.
Michael's name is recorded in Scripture four times:
- Daniel 10:13
- Daniel 12
- Letter of St. Jude:
- Revelation 12:7

+ Angels +
The Catholic Church teaches:
From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession.
"Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life."
Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.
With love in Christ.
