Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The commemoration of Saint Michael and All Angels is a bad news / good news kind of day. For, we heard -- Woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short! All of the readings we heard today spoke of this war. But all of the readings we heard today also spoke of victory! So although we are in a war, we know how it is going to turn out. And that gives us hope.
