THE ANGELS ARE OUR FRIENDS

THE ANGELS ARE OUR FRIENDS




TODAY we celebrate
The feast of the ANGELS


Those mighty creatures
Who PROTECT US and lead us
To God


THE ANGELS are our friends


“Michael and his angels
BATTLED against the dragon” Revelation 12:7


“For he will command
HIS ANGELS concerning you


To GUARD you
In all your ways” Psalm 91:11


There was Michael
Who commanded God's legions of angels


And cast Satan
Out from heaven


“But even the archangel Michael
When he was disputing
With the devil


About the body
Of Moses


Did not himself dare
To condemn him for slander
But said,


'THE LORD rebuke you!'” Jude :9


Then we have Gabriel
Who brought Mary
THE GOOD NEWS


About the coming
Of our Savior


“In the sixth month
of Elizabeth's pregnancy


God sent the angel-Gabriel
To Nazareth-a town in Galilee


To a virgin
PLEDGED to be married
To a man named-Joseph-
A descendant of David


The virgin's name was Mary-
The angel went to her
And said


'GREETINGS-you
Who are highly favored
THE LORD IS WITH YOU'” Luke 1:26-28


And finally
We have Raphael
Who HEALED Tobit


And delivered his daughter-in-law
From a demon


Let us NEVER FORGET
The angels and their history
In the development
Of mankind
And that they are OUR FRIENDS
And our PROTECTORS


They do great and holy works
In God's name


And finally
Let us never forget
The human angels


THE FAMILY MEMBERS-the friends-
And even the strangers
That have HELPED US
On our way
(Of whom I have had many)


AN ANGEL is defined as,
“A spiritual being
That serves especially
As a MESSENGER from God


Or as a GUARDIAN
Of human beings”


What a wonderful day
That it is
To CELEBRATE
These holy creatures of God


And to ACKNOWLEDGE
OUR family-friends-and strangers


That have helped us
ALONG the way


HOW BLESSED we are
To call these ANGELS
OUR FRIENDS
