SUMMARY:St. Michael’s Day
DESCRIPTION:The Church commemorates St. Michael and All Angels each year on Sept. 29. \n“Fear not.” So every angel begins his speech in the Scriptures. They are the fearsome warriors of the Most High God\, commanded by Michael the Archangel\, forming the “Sabbaoth\,” the armies of the Lord. And yet\, they are given this office as His heavenly legate: to announce the good news of great joy in Christ Jesus\, incarnate\, risen and ascended\, all for us mortals. Christ’s warriors and messengers are set to guard duty for His Christians. Their unseen eyes draw us to follow their gaze\, “for they always behold the face of the Father\, who is in heaven” (Matt. 18:10). \nHow is Michael a “Saint”?\nThe word “saint” simply means “holy one.” We often use this word to describe those Christians who have departed this life in the faith. The New Testament most often uses it to address Christians in the Church on earth (Rom. 1:7\, 1 Cor. 1:2\, Eph. 1:1\, etc.). Michael and the angels of God are not humans “sanctified in Christ Jesus” (1 Cor. 1:2)\, but they are “holy angels” — holy just as God created them and as the Scriptures describe them (Mark 8:38\, Acts 10:22\, Rev. 14:10). \n\nLiturgical color for St. Michael’s Day\nWhite is the color of purity and completeness and the color for all major feasts of Christ.  This color\, used primarily during these Sundays\, assists in bearing the message that “though your sins be as scarlet\, they shall be white as snow.” Christ’s triumph from the grave on Resurrection day is the cause for our rejoicing. His purity before his Father becomes our purity. White reinforces that message of joy. \n\nOne-Year Series and Three-Year Series\nScripture readings\n\nDaniel 10:10–14; 12:1–3\n\n\nRev.12:7–12\n\n\nMatt. 18:1–11 or Luke 10:17–20\n\nLectionary summary\nOur Father in Heaven Protects His Children by Giving His Holy Angels Charge Over Them\nWe live in “a time of trouble” (Dan. 12:1)\, in the midst of great tribulation. Satan and his wicked angels have been thrown out of heaven and have come down to earth “in great wrath\,” with woeful “temptations to sin” and with constant accusations (Rev. 12:8–12; Matt. 18:7). Even so\, we are encouraged by the presence and protection of St. Michael and the holy angels\, whom God sends to help us in the strife (Dan. 10:11–13). By “the authority of his Christ\,” His holy angels guard and keep us in body and soul. These heavenly servants of God preserve His human messengers on earth\, the ministers of “the blood of the Lamb\,” against all the power of the enemy\, for by “the word of their testimony\,” the Church is saved and the devil is defeated (Rev. 12:10–11; Luke 10:18–19). By their preaching and Baptism of repentance\, the old Adam and the old evil foe are “drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matt. 18:6). As God raised Christ Jesus from the dead\, so are His people delivered and raised from the dust of the earth through the forgiveness of their sins (Dan. 12:1–3). \nPrayers\n\nSt. Michael and All Angels\n\n\nAttend a service\nTo attend a worship service\, visit locator.lcms.org/church to find a local Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation.
