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 two sisters

Other family members and friends

To HELP me along the way

 

I know

I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this

If not for them

 

But there are angels

From heaven

That God has actually used

To deliver messages

 

We know

That the angel Gabriel

Appeared to Zachariah

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 the snares of the devil

 

Michael appears to us

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 Tobit

 

Raphael’s name means,

“GOD HAS HEALED”

 

My wish for ALL of you:

 

IS that you be TOUCHED by many beings

Both heavenly and earthly

To help you

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
