TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL

TOUCHED BY 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
