Michael is the leader of the four archangels, or chief angels. His fellow archangels are Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel. Michael is charged with the tasks of protecting those who love God, transporting the souls of the dead, and leading the battle against Satan. He also is traditionally the one called upon for the freeing of the possessed in spiritual bondage from evil spirits. The position of archangel isn’t one to be taken lightly, and there are only the four serving as the princes among angels.
Michael is the patron saint of the Military, Police officers, Firemen, death, and people who work in dangerous conditions. His feast day is celebrated on the 29th of September. St. Michael the Archangel has inspired artists, accompanied souls, and protected God’s people throughout the ages as the leader of the angels and a true warrior of God.
