Episode #9
Coming up on September 29th is one of the biggest feast days in the Christian Tradition – The Feast of Saint Michael and all the Angels. For centuries this day was set aside as a huge celebration in the Church – Michaelmas and because of this long and esteemed history it deserves special attention. Today, Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints will turn its attention to one of the most mysterious Saints in the Bible – Saint Michael the Archangel.
Our popular culture has so domesticated Angels, or completely ignored them, we tend to have a distorted and naïve view of them. They are NOT the cute and cuddly beings we see depicted in Renaissance paintings – harmless adorable babies with wings. Far from it! They are some of the most powerful and mysterious characters in the Bible and they show up continuously throughout the text.
For the next several weeks we will delve into this fascinating subject – Spiritual Beings in the Bible beginning with one of the most amazing and mysterious, our Saint today - Saint Michael. It promises to be a fascinating journey, and at the end of this Odyssey, I guarantee you will never read your Bible quite the same way again. You certainly don’t want to miss THIS week’s episode!
