Governor? More like gover-NERD!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. In this Bible story, Jesus is arrested by Jewish priests who've become jealous of Him. The priests aren't allowed to kill Him since they're technically living under Roman rule and Roman laws, so they hand Him over to the local governor, Pontius Pilate, and tell him that Jesus claimed to be the king of the Jews. This, they hope, will make Pilate think Jesus is trying to start a rebellion against the Romans. Pilate questions Jesus in a pretty simple but dramatic interrogation, beginning by asking Him if He's really a king, to which Jesus replies that His kingdom is not of this world; if it were, His servants would be fighting to free Him. 2. In this cartoon, the first part of the comic sticks to the Bible story, but when Jesus mentions His servants fighting for Him, Pilate tries to clarify by asking, "So you have no servants to fight for you?" But Jesus wasn't saying He doesn't have servants; He was saying they aren't going to fight a physical war to free Him because His kingdom is not a physical one, nor can any physical kingdom hope to threaten it. As Jesus implies this, His actual servants -- the angels -- pester Him to let them beat up Pontius Pilate for Him, but He tells them to calm down since that's not part of the plan. 3. Gabriel (the angel with the blue cape) says, "Pontius Pilate? More like, 'I'm gonna PUNCH THIS Pilate!" PONTIUS is often pronounced PUNCHIS (at least where I'm from), which sounds a little like PUNCH THIS, so Gabriel is just making a play on Pilate's name and saying he's about to clock him if Jesus gives the go-ahead. 4. Michael (the militant soldier angel in the red cape) gives a declaration that sounds a lot like Matthew 8:8. In that verse, a Roman centurion begs for Jesus's help, saying, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my daughter shall be healed." In Mass, we mirror this quote before receiving the Eucharist, except that "roof" refers to the roof of our mouths, since we're about to consume the Eucharist, and instead of "my daughter," we say "my soul." In this cartoon, Michael mirrors the Mass version of the quote, but ends it with "and his soul shall be BROUGHT TO HEEL (i.e. forced to submit)."

Angel of God, my guardian …

HONOR ALL THE ANGELS SENT TO MINISTER TO US

September 29 is the Feast Day of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. October 2 is the Feast Day of the Guardian Angels.

“𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐛𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧! 𝐎, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬?” 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦

In a 1986 general audience, Pope John Paul II reminded us of the meaning of the names of the three Archangels:

1 ST. MICHAEL

“Mica-EL in fact means: ‘Who is like God?’ In this name, therefore, we find expressed the salvific choice thanks to which the angels ‘see the face of the Father’ who is in Heaven.”

𝐀𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐩𝐬𝐞 𝟏𝟐:𝟕-𝟖 “𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧, 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧.”

2 ST. GABRIEL

Next is Gabri-EL, meaning “my power is God” or “power of God.”

𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝟗:𝟐𝟏-𝟐𝟑 “𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐦 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬: '𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥, 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝'.”

3 ST. RAPHAEL

Then there is Raphael, ‘Rafa-EL’ meaning “God heals.”

𝐓𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝟒:𝟏𝟏 “𝐅𝐨𝐫  𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐬  𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫  𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦  𝐚𝐥𝐥  𝐬𝐢𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝  𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦  𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝  𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭  𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥  𝐭𝐨  𝐠𝐨  𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨  𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.”

“Each one of these figures, Mica-EL, Gabri-EL, and Rafa-EL reflects in a particular way the truth contained in Paul’s ‘Letter to the Hebrews (1:14): Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to possess salvation?’”

4 CELESTIAL CHOIRS

Promises of St. Michael to Antonia d’Astonac to those who prayed the Chaplet of St. Michael: “Whoever would practice this devotion in his honour would have, when approaching the Holy Table, an escort of nine angels chosen from each of the nine Choirs. In addition, for the daily recital of these nine salutations, he promised his continual assistance and that all the holy angels during life, and after death deliverance from Purgatory for themselves and all their relations.”

FLY ME TO THE MOON: THE SEVEN VIRTUES OF GOD

Notes: just some information about the seven virtues.

PART ONE | PART TWO | PART THREE

Rankings:

The seven virtues consist of seven angels from different triads.

The archangels are Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael/Reader, the virtues of justice, faith, and kindness.

The only dominion angel is Uriel, the virtue of wisdom.

The only seraphim angel is Jophiel, the virtue of beauty.

The only throne angel is Camuel, the virtue of courage.

The only power angel is Azrael, the angel of death.

Most would think the seraphim angels are the most powerful but it's actually the seven virtues who are the most powerful. Strength and power the seven virtues are better as they are in the front lines.

The seraphim angels listen to them.

The seven virtues stayed most of their time on earth, working their separate duties. They watched over the mortals.

Each virtue watches one continent of earth but they do take turns in each continent.

Each virtue has its own personal mansion in heaven.

Personality Dynamics:

The seven virtues think of each other like siblings or best friends at most.

Michael, obviously the older and the leader. Cares for the other six like an older brother does. Cold, serious and takes his role very seriously.

Gabriel, the second oldest. She's like a big sister. Quite a tease too.

Raphael, the third oldest. An introvert, doesn't know how to show affections. She used to but she's currently suffering depression and therefore has trouble understanding her emotions lately but she cares. Very cold and serious when in work mode but awkward and chill during their day off.

Uriel, the same age as Raphael. Very smart, often speaks like a poet or a crackhead and there's no in-between. Total sweetheart and always ready to help. Serious when doing his job.

Jophiel, the same age as Raphael. A flirt, likes teasing others and especially the other virtues. Hides away from responsibilities if he has the chance. If he can't then he would take his job very seriously.

Camuel, the same age as Raphael. Despite being the virtue of courage, he gets scared very easily. Strong though, so he can fight. Got along with the other virtues.

Azrael, the same age as Raphael. A very playful, mischievous, flirty, serious angel. He tends to make fun of others but knows when not to cross the lines. A little sadistic. Always have a smirk on his face, very condescending when in work mode.

The seven virtues both have work and relax mode. When working they are downright terrifyingly serious. But when they don't have any work then they are quite chill.

Michael barely gets any sleep. Functions with coffee 24/7.

Raphael barely has any motivation to do anything.

All seven virtues have sass in their tongues.

Uriel does dad jokes or corny jokes.

Jophiel the victim to listen to those jokes.

All seven of them are tired as fuck, very overworked lmao.

Michael and Azrael often argue cuz the reaper teases Michael. Tend to end up in a fight.

Gabriel tries to break it off and accidentally gets included in the fight.

Camuel the one who actually breaks it off.

Raphael is just there, already used to it.

Jophiel and Uriel watching the fight while eating popcorn, making bets.

Work:

Michael watches over the fairness and equality of earth. Keeping track of mortals' deeds.

Gabriel watches over the faiths of humans, offering guidance to mortals. She's the one who sends mortals' prayers to god.

Raphael watches over the sick and healthy. Providing health to the people who needed it.

Uriel watches over the people and keeps track of the progress made by humans.

Jophiel watches over nature and the non humans, making sure equality is present in all of god's creation.

Camuel watches over the people, providing protection.

Azrael the reaper of souls, guides souls to their destination in the afterlife. Updates the book of life that St. Peter uses so he'll know if there's a new soul that would arrive in heaven.

Day Off Dynamics:

Stays in heaven to recharge.

Often have sleepovers.

Gets very chaotic as they often have nights where they go out for drinks.

Game nights are nights of betrayal.

Michael sucks at uno.

Azrael kept on winning.

Loser does the winner's paperworks.

Gossips. Lots of gossips.

Whether it's heavenly tea or mortal ones.

Michael to Azrael during uno: “Right hand on the bible, god can strike me down if I'm lying. The mf is cheating!”

Yes, they swear.

Only when it's just the seven of them in the room.

Probably hibernates for two whole days.

Other fun facts:

Azrael has two floating or flying eye pets, he can use it to eavesdrop in heaven when he's on earth. It serves as his second pair of eyes. He's always watching.

Michael wields a sword.

Gabriel uses a book as she's more of a mage type of angel.

Raphael uses a sword.

Uriel uses a sword.

Jophiel uses a book to conjure spells.

Camuel uses a bow and arrow.

Azrael uses a staff that transforms into a scythe.

Jophiel accidentally turned himself a frog once and had to attend a virtues meeting in frog form. The others never let him forget.

Uriel drinks more wine than water.

The only girls in the seven virtues are Gabriel and Raphael.

[Y/n] is often rolled into a burrito by the others if she's depressed.

☩ St Michael ☩ Talon Abraxas (Hebrew מיכאל) An important angel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. One of the seven primary intelligences of our solar system. "Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me... But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth, and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince." - Daniel 10:18-21 "And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon." - Revelation 12:7 "Michael in the Sun is an ineffable Archangel. Yet, Michael within us is different. Michael is an independent and cognizant part of our own Being… Michael and Gabriel, who symbolize the Sun and the Moon, the sulfur and the Mercury, serve the Alchemist in order to perform the Great Work… Michael and Gabriel are two Self-cognizant and Self-independent parts of our own Being, skilled in the science of Alchemy. As Michael and Gabriel exist in the Macrocosm, they also exist within the Microcosmic Human Being. It is obvious that we always receive the Mysteries of the Light of the Height by means of the sulfur and the Mercury. sulfur and Mercury are fundamental in order to receive the light-stream. Michael and Gabriel carry the stream of Christic Light. Michael and Gabriel, sulfur and Mercury, are incessantly crossing themselves in order to give origin to the Philosophical Stone. The sulfur and Mercury (Michael and Gabriel) never steal the Light, because these two alchemical substances are the only fundamental elements of the Great Work." - Samael Aun Weor, The Pistis Sophia Unveiled
