Angels are spiritual beings created by God by a free decision of his divine will. They are immortal beings endowed with intelligence and will. Due to their spiritual nature, angels cannot be seen or captured by the senses.
STORY ABOUT HIM
On some very special occasions, with God’s intervention, they have been materially heard and seen. People’s reaction to seeing or hearing them has been one of amazement and respect. For example, the prophet Daniel and Zechariah.
In the 4th century religious art depicted angels in human form or figure. In the 5th century, wings were added as a symbol of their readiness to do the divine will and to move from one place to another without the slightest difficulty. In the Bible we find some reasons why angels are represented as bright, winged, human-looking beings.
WHEN DO WE PRAY HIM?
We must go to them for help. Neither angels nor God can intervene in your life if you don’t ask them. We must deliver the problems and put the situations in their hands. Trust that God and the angels have the best plan for you and to heal your situation. We can also ask for help for other people, protection and above all that the instructions that God has for us be followed.
When you feel in your heart, in the center of your being, the concern to act (or not to act) it is important to trust those feelings.They are the way your soul communicates with the angels. . It is a phrase that symbolizes surrender to the will of God and that opens the heart to helping angels so that they can heal it. When you don’t know what prayer to offer, repeat “your will be done” like a mantra. The will of God is perfect and the angels know how to work to make it happen.
PRAYER
Dear Angel, ever at my side, how lovely you must be, to leave your home in heaven to guard a child like me. When I’m far away from home or may be hard at play, I know you will protect me from harm along the way. Your beautiful and shining face, I see not, though you are near; the sweetness of your lovely voice, I cannot really hear. When I pray, your praying too, your prayer is just for me. But when I sleep, you never do, you’re watching over me.
Amen.
