Thursday, Memorial of the Guardian Angels
Exodus 23:20-23 <*[[[[>< + ><]]]]*> Matthew 18:1-5, 10
Thank you,
most loving God our Father
for all your love
and care for us
in giving us
guardian angels.
“See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Be attentive to him and heed his voice… If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes” (Exodus 23:20-21, 22).
“And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father” (Matthew 18:5, 10).
Your words today, O Lord
speak of care,
of caring for us which is
to protect someone
and to provide things
they need, especially
someone who is young
or sick or vulnerable
like children - and that is
exactly who we are!
Forgive us, Jesus
for those times
when we act
great and powerful,
not needing you
disregarding
your angels
when we insist on
doing things
in our own ways.
We pray also,
Jesus that we be your
guardian angels
to others
especially the weak
and suffering
that we may protect them
as we also keep them
warm and safe always.
Amen.
Angel of God
my guardian dear
to whom God's love
commits me here,
ever this day (or night),
be at my side,
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.
Amen.
