REFLECTION - OUR GUARDIAN ANGELS
===============================
The feast of the Holy Angels was initiated on the day of the dedication of a Basilica in honor of Saint Michael in the northeastern part of Rome, during the fifth century. The opening preface of the Mass for the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael proclaims "Their splendor shows us Your greatness, which surpasses in goodness the whole of creation."
Scripture mentions but briefly the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, and speaks of Raphael only in the Book of Tobit. In the New Testament, Gabriel is the messenger who announces the birth of John the Baptist and that of Jesus, while Michael appears at the
head of the heavenly hosts, the conqueror of Satan in the great battle of endtime.
From the paradise of Genesis to that of Revelation, however, the angels fill the entire span of history of salvation with their invisible presence. They are the Lord's "angels" or messengers, revealing His designs and carrying out His commands. Above all, they sing His praises, an immense host of adorers seen by Daniel and John around the throne of the Living God: Thousands upon thousands were ministering to Him, and myriads upon myriads attended Him."
The Church's liturgy joins us to that of the angels in heaven.
Not only do we "make their hymn of praise our own", proclaiming that the Lord is Holy, but in offering the sacrifice we ask God "that Your angel may take this sacrifice to Your altar in Heaven."
From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by the watchful care and intercession of their angels. "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God. (Catechism of the Catholic Church 336)
