Saint Pachad is the cherub Thou shalt…! In mighty greatness, like a flaming sword, a cherub stands before our eyes on this day. He bears the greatness and the majesty of the Name of our Lord and Saviour, the Name, Jesus. In the Introit of this day we pray:
10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: 11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
Phil. 2:10-11
To Him alone shall you listen!
The cherubim are the angels of the Son, the bearers of the Word of God. Mankind has already once heard the words: Thou shalt, back then when the Creator gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Sinai. Now God Himself has become man and teaches us all Thou shalt and leads the way. We know that the Name of Jesus unlocks all doors for us.
Prayer: Great, holy Cherub, Saint Pachad, who bears the mighty stone tablets of Thou shalt, let us answer the justice of God with the love of God. Amen.
