Our Lady of Fatima Russian Byzantine Catholic Church

Do not call to mind or relive any bad memory. Regretted evil is pardoned. The generosity of present love repairs the past. Forget those concrete details. It is ...enough to hold yourself a sinner before God, a beneficiary of his infinite mercy. Evil is nothing: what good would it do to remember it? Think only of the grace that has saved you; of its eternal refreshments. God has destroyed all evils. He doesn’t collect the nothings. Keep for Him a filially contrite heart, peaceful and tender: this is compunction. A Carthusian

November 8 Synaxis of the Archangels Synaxis of the Chief Captains of the Heavenly Host, Michael and Gabriel, and of the other Bodiless Powers of Heaven... http://audio.ancientfaith.com/sotd/11_08_hosts_pc.mp3 The holy Scriptures, from beginning to end, are filled with mentions and descriptions of the Heavenly Host: not to believe in angels is not to believe in the Bible. In the heavens they behold the face of God, eternally hymning His glory. They are intimately involved with mankind as well: an angel is appointed guardian over every nation, and over every individual Christian. The Archangels Michael and Gabriel, whom we especially commemorate today along with all the other bodiless powers, have served as messengers to man. "Michael" means "Who is like God?";"Gabriel" means "God is mighty." Gabriel especially was appointed to announce the coming of Christ in the flesh. There is no reckoning the number of the Heavenly Host, though we know that they are a great multitude. They are ranked in nine orders, called Thrones, Cherubim, Seraphim, Dominions, Powers, Authorities, Principalities, Archangels and Angels. "Angel" means "herald" or "messenger" and is properly applied only to those who serve as messengers from God to man; but the name is often applied to the entire host of bodiless powers. Though bodiless, the angels are finite in knowledge, extension and power. The angel Lucifer, once the highest of them all, desired to be like God Himself, and was cast forever from the presence of God, along with countless others who followed him. These we now know as Satan and the demons. (Needless to say, they are not commemorated today). Troparion Tone 4 Commanders of the heavenly hosts, / we who are unworthy beseech you, / by your prayers encompass us beneath the wings of your immaterial glory, / and faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry to you: / Deliver us from all harm, for you are the commanders of the powers on high! Kontakion Tone 2 Commanders of God’s armies and ministers of the divine glory, / princes of the bodiless angels and guides of mankind, / ask for what is good for us, and for great mercy, / supreme commanders of the Bodiless Hosts.
