Mass was offered this morning for the repose of the soul of Sr. Raphael (+), may she be blessed. I haven't much to say about the readings at Mass today, because they were rather repetitious and we'll hear or read them again on Sunday. But we could perhaps have a pretty picture on. This is Saint Michael standing on the enemy. There is a story of the miraculous apparition of this archangel on this date in AD 663 to the bishop of Sipontum, asking that a sanctuary be erected and dedicated on Mount Gargano in Apulia. Learn more about that sanctuary, which is now part of a UNESCO world heritage site, by clicking here. We are rather fond of Saint Michael in the Latin church, and I have mounted a picture of him permanently on the sidebar of this blog, to the right.
