When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it (again) until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you (that) from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. -The 5th Luminous Mystery

Archangel Michael is called Saint

Document Title: "Archangel Michael is called Saint
Question from on 04-20-2007:
While traveling with my son, who has become a devout non denominational christian, we came across a 'St Michael the Archangel' Catholic Church, my son asked how an Angel is a saint, since he assumed saints have to be humans. I have never questioned the saintly status for Michael and have often prayed for his protection. Is there a resource to explain how it is that he is called a 'saint'?

Hi,

If a being is in heaven, that being is a saint. Being in heaven is what it means to be a saint. For more on angels see:
