TOUCHED BT AN ANGEL

How would you

Define an angel

The one word

That comes to my mind

Is “Heavenly”

Beings that help us along

On life’s journey

Beings that assist us

In one way or another

Psalm 91:11 &12 says

“For he will command his angels

Concerning you

To guard you in all your ways

They will lift you up

In their hands

So that you will

Not strike your foot

Against a stone”

Heavenly---to be sure

I have had many earthly angels

In my life

My parents---my 2 sisters

And other family members and friends

To help me along the way

I know

I would not be sitting here today---writing this

If it were not for them

But there are also

Angels from heaven

That God has actually used

To deliver messages too

We know

That the angel Gabriel

Helped Daniel to understand his visions

We know

That the angel Gabriel

Appeared to Zechariah

At the birth of John the Baptist

And above all

We know that he appeared to Mary

To ask her

To be the Mother of God

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

Then we have Saint Michael

Our defender and protector

To help us

Against the wickedness and snares of the devil

Michael appears

In the book of Daniel

As the special guardian and protector of Israel

And in the book of Revelation

As the principal fighter for God

In the fight

Between good and evil

Michael’s power is so strong

That it is believed

That souls can be rescued

Even from hell itself

May we all be so lucky

Finally we have the angel Raphael

Named in the book of Tobot

Raphael’s name means

“God has healed”

My wish for all of us is that

We will be touched by many beings

Both heavenly and earthly

To help us

On life’s journey

And that you feel

God’s love and presence---SO STRONG

Inside of you

That you know

That you have been blessed by God

And that indeed---you have been

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL
