“You are an Angel” in my life. It is a statement, many might have heard from
friends and dear ones. From childhood, there are many options for
Catholic to hear about Angels from the stories of mother or read in the story books. Many times many might have seen dreams where
they are playing with Angels. All most all the ancient Churches have the
images and statues of Angles. Angels
holding with Holy Eucharist, Holy Bible, Musical instruments
and so on. All these helped us to create an image of an Angel in our life. Yes, today the Angels have
become a sign protection, happiness and messenger in our
life.

Like the St. Peter and Paul Church at Steinhausen, the most beautiful Village Church in the world, and
many other churches have 365 Angles images or statues in it. It reminds us that, there is an Angel with us
in our day today life. Each day there is
an Angel to protect and guide us, to bring peace
and good news, to share the love God and make us happy. It is a great advantage and blessing to each one of us. Does this teaches us something? Each one is invited to be an Angel. We are called to be an Angel in our life, where ever we are. Being an Angel is a responsible life with different responsibilities.
An Angel has two types of responsibility;
internal and external. The example for
an external responsibility can be seen in the book of Daniel 10.21 where the Archangel St. Michael is in a battle with the fallen angels. As an example for the internal
responsibility, in the Gospel of Luke 1: 26:5, the Archangel St. Gabriel
appears as a messenger. At the same time, the Archangel St. Raphael was
a Divine healer in the life of Tobias, seen in Tob. 12: 14f. So our responsibility is to be a warrior who
fights against the evil or fallen situations of our life, be the messenger of the Lord to the other and be the
healer to the other.
