PRAYER MOMENT
Friday 2
October 2015. The Guardian Angels
MY ANGEL
WILL GO BEFORE YOU
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “I myself will send an angel before
you to guard you as you go and to bring you to the place I have prepared.” (Exodus
23: 20-23)
Reflection. Ignatius of Loyola reminds us that we
are created to “praise, reverence and serve God our Lord” and in that way reach
our goal. The scriptures and the liturgy constantly remind us of the angels fulfilling
these roles. The spirit world draws us on. Even if we know so little of that
world we can grasp that there is constant communication between God and us,
symbolised by the ladder or stairs to heaven in Jacob’s dream and in a
seemingly throw away comment of Jesus at the end of John, Chapter 1. Today, the
emphasis is on the angels as our protectors and helpers.
Prayer. Lord, give us always the protection and
guidance of the good spirits who surround us at every moment. Amen.
