Archangels (especially Michael) have already made their appearance at Acts of Hope, here and more recently here and here.
This is a favorite image of mine. It is by the late Cameroonian artist and Jesuit priest, Engelbert Mveng, a mural painted for Holy Angels Catholic Church in Chicago, an African American congregation. I use this on the cover of my syllabus for the course "African American Religion and Theology." I love the mural's colors and the fact that all the angels represented are Black.An explanation of the mural and a guide to its many angels and their biblical stories are here.

That image is heart-stopping.
Oh how these days, these feasts are such an elemental part of my faith life.
Thank you.
Of course the angels are black; what other color would they be?
