Theme – Holy Feast of the Archangels
The Liturgical colour theme is green for Ordinary Time. Our flower arrangements this week are composed of the colours green with blue, yellow/gold, red and white.
Blue colour is associated with Archangel Michael for his courage and strength. He leads the holy angels and fight evil. Gabriel is associated with the colour white for his revelation and wisdom, Raphael is associated with the colour green for his healing. Standing together with Archangel Michael is Gabriel represented by the white/silver foliage as Gabriel’s wing, and Raphael represented by the green foliage as Raphael’s wing
Green symbolises praise, spiritual growth in Christ, nurtured by the Church and the Gospel. Green represents abundance, new life, anticipation, new beginning, flourishing healing, restoration, and hope. Yellow/gold symbolises spiritual growth, life, wealth, glory majesty, kingdom of God enlightenment and light. Red symbolises atonement, sacrifice, love, courage, strength, and the burning fervour of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who guides the children on their way to the Father.

It also symbolises righteousness, conquest, victory, peace, saints, completion, triumph, and beginning of a new life.
