The angels

The feast of the archangels is an interesting one. Normally all feasts are of human beings, so then why this abnormal "celebration"? Perhaps because they set before us a challenge - a challenge that we very well know cannot be attained to perfection. We can never become angels - at least in our bodies. But we surely can be like in spite and with our bodies. We do not know their thoughts but we surely know their deeds. So the feast is a good reminder that we - mortal though we are - are capable of doing angelic deeds.
