God
has provided us with a wonderful gift. And that gift is our Guardian Angel. You
know Scripture has so many references to Angels, to our protectors, those
heavenly spirits whose only job is to safeguard our journey to heaven.
In
Psalm 91, which many of you recite on a daily basis, “For he will command his
angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
We
find in Daniel, “My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths, and they
have not harmed me”.
In
Exodus, “Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to
bring you to the place that I have prepared.
In Hebrews, “Let all God's angels worship him.” And we just read in our Gospel that our angel, our
Guardian Angel is always looking at the face of Jesus.
It
dawned on me today, I am here because I want to adore Jesus. My Guardian Angel
is by my side, and yours is by your side, adoring the same God, always
worshiping. What is that like? If we had the ability to see our Guardian Angel,
right here, right now, kneeling or prostrating themselves in front of Jesus how
could it not but strengthen our desire to adore our Savior, or humble us to the
point of great repentance.
We are
never alone. We know from Scripture that Jesus tells us, “I am with you always,
even to the end of time”. And through his love for us, sent us an angel to
guard us on our way. And tonight we have all the heavenly angels surrounding
our Jesus on his altar.
Together,
with our Guardian Angel let us adore the greatest gift God could ever give us,
His only Son. Blood of Christ inebriate us. Amen
