John 1,47-51

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 1, 47-51

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

You’ll see greater things

  1. Michael: He is the head of the heavenly army who protects us from the devil. It is important to turn to St. Michael when we face the temptations put to us by the devil or when you feel that the devil is trying to get into your life. Turn to St. Michael and ask him to protect you against all evil.
  2. Gabriel: He is the heavenly messenger. How much we have to ask of him! When we must say something important, we should turn to St. Gabriel to help us find the appropriate time to say what’s important to that person we must speak to. It is St. Gabriel who reminds us that Christians must be announcers of the truth.
  3. Raphael means “God heals”: St. Raphael is the patron saint of travelers, health, nurses, physicians and medical workers, happy meetings and love relationships. That’s why, in your prayer today, pray for your family and your daily commute, pray as you take your children to school or as you go to work. Pray for your sweetheart and for those close to you.
    How beautiful it is to know that the archangels are with us to encourage us and help us continue to fight for life and lead us to Heaven. Remember, Heaven is our goal!

God bless you and be with you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
