What are the Names of the Archangels?

And I love Mother Angelica as well. Even my kids can get what she talks about. Sometimes it is hard with our priest–he talks over their head and they don’t fully grasp what he talks about. But Mother always makes sence to them. God bless her!

The names of the seven Archangels are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Remiel and Saraqael. They are listed in the book of Enoch, a dueterocanonical book of the bible.

Just wanted to day thank you, Uncle Bill, for answering my question.

As to the lack of mentions of Uriel: the name came to be used in occult practices such alchemy, rosicrucianism, and other bizarre cults. His invocation became mysterious and associated with devilry, so the Church banned the recitation of Uriel among the names of the archangels.

Yes, I saw that on Wikipedia late last night. So, I’ll stay clear of that- thanks! Why invite trouble? lol

Perhaps the missing four are the four “Living Creatures” around the throne of God in Revelation?

It’s hard to say- there is not enough scripture to say one way or the other. Which seems to be the way it goes with some of my studies- just about the time I find something really cool to read about I suddenly find a serious lack of info, lol.
