Guided by the Angels

I could not let this day pass without some further comments on our wonderful Guardian Angels whose feast we celebrate today, October 2nd.

A passage from the Book of Exodus:  The Lord says “see I am sending you an angel to go before you to guard you on your way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him.”

Our angels come to us in a most unobtrusive manner, yet the words they speak are emphatically the will of God. Human beings tend to believe as truth, the obvious and forceful, over the subtle and gentle. We are inclined to disregard the latter as a whim, or a mere passing thought from our overactive imagination. Some of those thoughts may well be our own imagination, however many of them, as we come to realize after careful discernment, are indeed God’s words conveyed to us through these angelic beings. Their compelling words spoken with peacefulness and grace are real, and we are expected to listen to their message.

We should become friends with our guardian angels and confide in them as we would our most trusted friends. Although they have an intellect that far surpasses the human mind, angels cannot read our thoughts, and we must tell them what we want them to know.  They are our dearest friends for they remain with us 24/7, and will come to our aid whenever we call. Angels are immensely helpful in performing any task such as finding a parking space, studying, preparing for an exam, or expressing the words in our hearts to other souls we are trying to reach.  The human forms of communication: telephone, texting, postal mail, e-mail, and of course personal contact are all necessary, however angel mail is the most effective correspondence, as our words are delivered through divine channels  - God Himself.
