The internet, in particular, offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God. - Pope Francis
The Archangels Gabriel, Raphael and Michael, Patron Saints of Communication Professionals
The archangels Gabriel, Raphael and Michael are considered the patrons of communication professionals! While today we have television, radio and the internet to communicate the Gospel, the angels communicated the power and love of God through their presence on earth. Think of Raphael in the Book of Tobit, leading Tobias to his soon-to-be-wife Sarah. Or, even more famously, Gabriel coming to Mary during the Annunciation and to the shepherds to announce Christ’s birth. Of course, each one of us, whether or not you are involved in communications work, can ask for the intercession of the archangels. Consider praying to them when you log in to social media or write an email–asking that you might always be a witness to Christ through the way in which you speak and communicate with others.
