Holy Angels

Holy Angels serve as vital messengers of God in the Old Testament, delivering His guidance, warnings, and blessings. They comfort Hagar, assuring her of God’s promise to her son Ishmael (Genesis 16:7-10). An Angel announces the birth of Samson, revealing God’s plan to deliver Israel (Judges 13:3-5). In Daniel, the Angel Gabriel explains visions and prophecies, offering clarity and hope (Daniel 8:16; 9:21-23). These instances demonstrate Angels’ crucial role in communicating God’s will, ensuring His people understand His plans, and affirming His ongoing presence and care in their lives. Are the Holy Angels important in your life?

Oh God, who in your unfathomable providence are pleased to send your Holy Angels to guard us,  here are supplication as we cry out to you, that we may always be defended by their protection and rejoice eternally in their company. – Roman Missal, Feast of Holy Guardian Angels, October 2
