Reflections
“Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”I have experienced many times being rescued from im- minent dangers by no one. And when I tell people about them, their easy remark is that it was my guardian angel at work.Each of us has a guardian an- gel. Psalm 91:11 states “For he will command his angels con- cerning you, to guard you in all your ways.” Although in today’s gospel Jesus speaks only of chil- dren who have them, it doesn’t mean that once a child becomes an adult his or her angel leaves with task accomplished. Our guardian angel is our lifetime companion. CCC 336 admits that “Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.”Having a guardian angel speaks of God’s caring presence in our life; he does not will that we are totally left on our own. Be it to rescue us from figuring in accidents, or to assist us in dif- ficult times, or to simply protect us in any way. Each of us has a special place in God’s heart. And for this we must be truly grateful.
