聖彌額爾、聖加俾額爾及聖辣法耳總領天使

聖彌額爾，意謂：「誰如天主」。在聖經中，他是保護以色列子民的總領天使（達10:13, 21; 12:1）。他曾戰勝代表魔鬼的大龍，即遠古的蛇和牠的使者（默12:7）。教會尊他為新約子民的護守天使。

聖加俾額爾，意謂：「天主的人」或「天主的力量」。在舊約中，他曾給達尼爾先知解釋異象（達8:15, 16; 9:21-27）。在新約中，他給匝加利亞預報若翰誕生（路1:11-20），又給童貞瑪利亞預報救主降生（路1:26-38）。

聖辣法耳，意謂「天主醫治」。他曾在多俾亞的旅途中照顧和保護他（多5-12）。

天主亦為我們每個人指派了護守天使，指導我們走人生的路。

集禱經

天主，你的救世計劃是何等神妙。你給天使及世人分派各種任務；求你差遣在天上永遠事奉你的天使，守護我們在世上的生活。因你的聖子、我們的主耶穌基督，他和你及聖神，是唯一天主，永生永王。亞孟。

Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels

St. Michael (“Who is like God”) is the Archangel who fought Satan. He is the protector of all people and reminds the faithful of the real existence of the Devil and demonic activity. He is invoked for protection from the snares of the Devil. 

St. Gabriel (“Strength of God”) announced to St. Zechariah the birth of St. John the Baptist and to the Blessed Virgin Mary the birth of Christ. His greeting to our Lady, “Hail, full of grace,” is one of the most familiar and frequent prayers of the Church. 

St. Raphael (“Medicine of God”) is the Archangel who cared for Tobias on his journey. Every person on his or her pilgrimage through this life also has a guardian angel.  

Collect

O God, who dispose in marvelous order

ministries both angelic and human,

graciously grant

that our life on earth may be defended

by those who watch over us

as they minister perpetually to you in heaven.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen
