The Congregation of St Michael the Archangel received its ecclesiastical acceptance by an official decree 90 years ago. On 29th September, on the Feast of St Michael the Archangel, we are going to share a great joy with you and thank God for the grace of the establishment of the Congregation. We are happy to be God’s servants in spreading the Good News as well as the devotion to angels. We realize our vocation by taking care of underprivileged, handicapped, abandoned and poor children, providing missionary work in 13 countries and by editing the magazine about angels and spiritual life. The first Polish issue was published 17 years ago whereas the first English one – 18 months ago.

Angels adore God and they surround us with their praise, their adoration and their thanksgiving long after we have left the church. They teach us how to pray; they can share with us their spirit of adoring love and they can strengthen us for the crosses of daily life. If we pray to the angels, our crosses will become lighter and our fidelity to God will increase. We will walk more surely in the way that Christ has traced It is a pleasure to welcome you to the seventh quarterly edition of “The Angels. Messengers from a loving God” magazine.

Let us remember the words of St Francis de Sales, “Develop a strong familiarity with the angels. Learn to see them invisibly present in your life and especially honour and revere the angel of the diocese where you are, the angels of persons with whom you live with and especially your own guardian angel. Call them often, praise them regularly and make use of their aid and assistance in all your affairs, both spiritual and temporal, so that they might cooperate in all your undertakings.”

I would like to ask you kindly to let others know about our magazine and distribute it all over the world. We look forward to any questions and feedback. I would be interested to hear by letter or email any testimonies on how the angels helped you in your life. If you are interested in conferences or retreats on Divine Mercy and the angels, please contact the office or the Coordinators whose details are found on page 31.

May the Angels guide you on your way.

God bless you.
