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
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
