Faith and the Angels

The Texts in the Roman Catholic Lectionary today give us some insights from Scripture on the nature of angels. The task of leading the faithful in the path desired by God is given to an angel. The believers are advised to listen attentively to the instructions of the angel. The psalmist celebrates the protection of those undergoing trials by the angel of God. The faith of the humble is a gift through which the care of God for humanity is known. The passage from Matthew’s Gospel is assurance of the value of the least to thr Divine.
