Are there really such things as angels? Are we not beyond such fairy tales?
In today's gospel, Jesus reminds us "see that you despise not one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father."
Above is a link that reveals what popes have taught concerning angels. It is worth a look.
We must remember that all things are made through Christ. Who is better to direct our mind to what is real than the one whose hand is in creation of all that is seen and unseen. Who is better to direct the mind to what is real than He who stepped out of is natural state of invisibility and stepped into the visible when HE became man
Jesus states that "their angels always look upon the face of my heavenly Father." To Look on the face of God, is the highest manifestation of adoration. How blessed are we to have an angel in adoration for us, for each of us continually.
This reminds us that prayer and adoration is a way to assist people to stay close to God. It is by adoration our angels lead us closer to God. Should we not pray for others in the same manner our angels are entrusted to pray for us?
"Angel of God my guardian dear, to whom God's love entrust me here; ever this day be at my side, to lead and guard to rule and guide. Amen."
