From Fr. Kelly:
Angel of God, my guardian dear…
This coming week we will celebrate the Feasts of the Archangels (September 29th) and the Holy Guardian Angels (October 2nd). The Church has taught, from the very beginning, about the existence of the celestial beings we know as ‘angels.’ We see many references to the angels throughout all of Scripture, beginning with the Old Testament, for example, in the Book of Tobit when St. Raphael, the Archangel, accompanies Tobit’s son, Tobiah, on a journey (Tobit 12). In the New Testament, Christ made reference to the angels (Matthew 18:10); the angels announced His birth to the shepherds (Luke 2:13); the Archangel Gabriel appears to Mary to announce she is to be the Mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26), and many other numerous examples. The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms this long-standing teaching of the Church in saying that “the existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls ‘angels’ is a truth of the faith. The witness of Scripture is as clear as the unanimity of Tradition” (CCC 328). Angels are pure spirits who, as tradition holds, were created before Adam and Eve. It is also the tradition of the Church that the number of angels has been complete from their creation: no angels cease to exist, and no angels come into existence (which also means that we do not become angels when we die—while we may take on some of the activities of the angels in heaven after death, such as beholding God face-to-face and being a part of the heavenly worship, we do not change natures; we will receive our bodies again at the Resurrection). We learn from several places in Sacred Scripture of the Nine Choirs of Angels, the two lowest being that of the Archangels and Angels. The Book of Tobit tells us that there are 7 Archangels, but Scripture reveals only 3 of their names to us (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael). Any other names given to archangels come from ancient writings and traditions outside of the canon of Scripture. St. Michael is known for driving Satan and the fallen angels out of heaven; St. Gabriel was given the privilege of appearing to Our Lady to bring God’s Good News that she was chosen to be the Mother of the Savior; St. Raphael helped heal Tobit. We also believe in the existence of the Guardian Angels. Each of us are assigned a guardian angel not just to protect us from physical harm, but above all from spiritual harm. We should develop a good relationship with our guardian angel, praying to our angel every day and asking for protection and guidance, especially in the spiritual life. Here is the popular ‘Guardian Angel’ prayer that many of us probably know:
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and to guard, to rule and to guide. Amen.
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
First Reading
Ezekiel 18:25-28
Thus says the LORD: You say, "The LORD's way is not fair!" Hear now, house of Israel: Is it my way that is unfair, or rather, are not your ways unfair? When someone virtuous turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, and dies, it is because of the iniquity he committed that he must die. But if he turns from the wickedness he has committed, he does what is right and just, he shall preserve his life; since he has turned away from all the sins that he has committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.
Your ways, O LORD, make known to me;
teach me your paths,
guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.
Remember that your compassion, O LORD,
and your love are from of old.
The sins of my youth and my frailties remember not;
in your kindness remember me,
because of your goodness, O LORD.
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.
Good and upright is the LORD;
thus he shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble to justice,
and teaches the humble his way.
R. Remember your mercies, O Lord.
Second Reading
Philippians 2:1-11
Brothers and sisters: If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but also for those of others. Have in you the same attitude that is also in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;
I know them, and they follow me.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
Matthew 21:28-32
Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people: "What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.' He said in reply, 'I will not, ' but afterwards changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, 'Yes, sir, ‘but did not go. Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him."
Texts for the Latin Chants:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.
PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
