Who are angels
Spiritual entities that serve God were created before people, as most theologians believe. They do not have a physical body, but sometimes appear before people in an appearance that is easier for them to perceive. On icons they are often depicted as young men with wings on their backs. These are, of course, conventions.
Archangels are one of the ranks, they have a personality, their own names, they are known because they are mentioned in the Bible. The most “popular” are Michael and Gabriel, who played a significant role in sacred history. It is with an appeal to them that prayers to the archangels begin for every day.
Archangels and days of the week
Michael is considered the most famous archangel in Orthodoxy. Since he was the main one of the army of God. His image is often shown to warriors before a crucial battle. His main responsibility was to convey all information to lower ranks. They, in turn, passed it on to people.
As believers say, sometimes archangels can appear to people. But only to those who are spiritually strong. Since their appearance very often frightens most people.

Michael the Archangel is well known in Rus'. He often appeared to soldiers before important battles; this happened during the apparitions of the Mother of God; the heavenly military leader himself accompanied the Queen of Heaven. It is quite difficult to read prayers every day, but this is a strong protection against temptations and spiritual growth. So it's worth trying.
In general, Archangel Michael belongs to the middle rank in the upper hierarchy of heavenly powers, according to the teachings of the holy fathers. His duty is to transmit instructions to lower ranks. They, in turn, pass them on to people. Sometimes the Archangels appear themselves, but only to those who are so spiritually developed that they can withstand their appearance. We know from Scripture that the sight of angels frightens most people.
You should pray every day of the week in order to better perceive the subtle energy of the spiritual world, which is simply inaccessible to sinners. They themselves reject grace. However, the situation can be improved. Even short but regular exercises in communicating with God will bring a lot of benefits.
Prayers to the archangels have a very accessible content; they are brief, but express everything that is necessary. They were made up of spiritually gifted people. We must understand that verbosity is not always a sign of good prayer. In some cases, brevity is preferable.
Other Archangels are also mentioned in the Holy Scriptures:
- Gabriel - appeared to the Virgin Mary and other heroes of the Bible;
- Raphael - known for healing people;
- Uriel - enlightens the peoples, the name means “light”;
- Salaphiel - encourages prayer work;
- Jehudiel is the one who glorifies the Lord, he helps everyone who works for Christ, and not for profit;
- Barachiel - distributes God's blessings to everyone who plans a good undertaking.
All angels turn to the One Master so that he would have mercy on people, note their merits, and be lenient with their shortcomings. Since these are beings of a different order, they do not care about anything earthly. Therefore, they can provide protection for every day. You just need to avoid bad words and actions - this makes the angels move away from the person. By the way, many righteous people were honored to see them with their own eyes, for example, Seraphim of Sarov. It is believed that sinful people cannot see God’s servants.
A prayer to Michael the Archangel asks him to crush his enemies, and also to beg the Lord for protection. In the next appeal, believers ask to be delivered from temptations, because angels are able to penetrate people’s thoughts; there have been cases when they warned them against rash actions. Every day you should, at least briefly, pray to your Angel.
- Monday should begin with an appeal to Archangel Michael, who possesses a fiery sword capable of defeating unclean spirits.
- Tuesday is the day of turning to Gabriel, who brought the joyful news of the coming birth of the Son of God. You can ask him for protection from diseases.
- On Wednesday they pray to Raphael, who can heal spiritual and physical ailments.
- On Thursday there is an appeal to Uriel, who is known for his fiery love for God, which is lacking in many modern people.
- Friday is the day of Selafiel, which can give contrition and concentration during prayer.
- Saturday - you need to ask Archangel Jehudiel to save you from laziness. Many would like to praise God, but habit gets in the way. The prayer of the heavenly patron can give zeal. On Sunday, before going to the temple, you should be blessed by the angel Barachiel, who can guide your soul on the path of correction.

How to read prayers correctly
When praying to Archangel Raphael, the same rules apply as with many others. The most important thing is sincere faith. It is necessary to rely on the will of God and humbly trust in the heavenly intercessor. It is believed that when turning to Raphael, a person’s sincerity and own desire are of particular importance.
When the archangel is prayed for healing, it does not matter who does it - the patient himself or his loved ones. The sincerity and thoughts of the patient are much more important. If a person is disgusted by heavenly help, then Raphael can only partially alleviate the suffering. Therefore, to achieve a better result, it is worth convincing a person suffering from an illness of the benefits of prayer.
Otherwise the rules are the same. It is better to pray alone. You can do it out loud, you can do it silently. It’s good if the person praying has an icon of the archangel. It is advisable to light a candle or lamp and use incense for burning. Pure faith and prayer can change the whole world!
Archangel Jehudiel - sphere of responsibility and place in the heavenly hierarchy
From ancient Hebrew, the name of the archangel is translated as “glorifying God” or “glory to the Most High.”
Jehudiel is revered in the Orthodox tradition. Catholics have not mentioned the name of the archangel for about 400 years. Jehudiel is the protector and patron of people who live in accordance with God's commandments. The Archangel and the army of angels that he leads are ready to come to the aid of the righteous for protection from evil thoughts.
First of all, these are monks, but also kings, judges and rulers of all ranks. On the icons the archangel is depicted as a young man with a pious face. In his right hand Yehudiel holds a crown, in his left - a whip. The crown symbolizes the benefits that the Lord gives to the righteous for a sinless life. And a whip with three ends is a punishment for sinners who are mired in laziness, lies and idleness.
Who is patronized by the Archangel Jehudiel?
People who are responsible for the lives of their subordinates turn to the heavenly intercessor for help. Since the times of paganism, princes in Rus' were considered close to the gods. Christianity has preserved the tradition of honoring kings as the chosen ones of the Almighty. It was Jehudiel who instructed the crowned heads, encouraging them to receive a golden crown for godly deeds.
Now that there are no kings left in Russia, the patronage of the archangel applies to politicians, regional leaders and managers. Judges who conduct cases honestly and do not condone corruption also count on Jehudiel’s help.
In addition to them, the archangel protects volunteers and devotees of the church. Anyone who spreads the Christian faith and helps the priests is allowed to turn to Jehudiel for help. The heavenly intercessor promises protection and mentoring to everyone who is selfless in their aspirations.
Memorial Days
Jehudiel is revered on November 21 along with other archangels:
- Barachiel;
- Gabriel;
- Raphael;
- Uriel.
Life
Jehudiel is not in the Bible. The archangel first appeared in the writings of the monk Amadeus of Portugal, which date back to the 15th century. Jehudiel was later transferred to the Lives of the Saints. This is how he appeared in the Orthodox tradition.
The Archangel patronized the Jews when the people, tormented by Egyptian power, left the country of the pyramids. During forty years of wandering, Jehudiel protected the tribe of Moses from danger and guided them on the true path. He appeared to the Prophet in the form of a pillar of fire and smoke.
When Moses ascended Mount Sinai to receive the tablets of commandments from the Lord, a voice from heaven said:
Behold, I am sending My angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared for you; watch yourself before His face and listen to His voice; do not persist against Him, for He will not forgive your sin, for My name is in Him (Ex. 23:20-21).
Akathist to Archangel Jehudiel
There is no separate akathist written to glorify Jehudiel, but any text intended for archangels, for example, for Uriel, can be used for this purpose.
