Conference on Angels: Conf. #1: The Role Of Our Guardian Angels is More Than A Protector

Ad Jesum per Mariam

Conference on Angels: Conf. #1: The Role Of Our Guardian Angels is More Than A Protector When we hear that expression, Guardian Angels, we imagine those angels who individually have been assigned to watch over us. And that’s a half truth. Rather, when the church celebrates the guardian angels, it celebrates that, but it also celebrates the way that angels are the guardians of the people of God in a broader sense. And so, for example, for hundreds and hundreds of years as the guardian angels are celebrated, the church leads with the image of the angel. The Lord Guards and Guides His People by Means of the Angels The angel watches over the Hebrews as they are led out of Egypt. And note how that’s not individual guardianship, but very real guardianship. And note also what it is. It is not merely protection. When we speak of the angels as guardianship, guardians and the way the Lord guards and guides his people by means of the angels, we recognize several things. Note, the prayer emphasizes guardian, not protector. How does the guardian guide us? Before it is protection, it is guidance. Before it is defending, it is instructing. That’s why at mass today we hear that very clear Dictum on the part of the Almighty as he speaks to the people. I will put my angel to watch over you. Be careful to listen to him. Note the thrust of that, the angels guard us not simply by keeping us safe from physical danger, but by helping us to find the right path and the right way. Hear the role of Guardian Angels in our lives and how they help us! Listen to this first of two conferences.

Generative AI refers to a recent approach in artificial intelligence that involves the creation of AI-generated art. This innovative technique utilizes a potent AI computer to generate images based on textual prompts or instructions. The resulting output is an AI-generated image, representing one interpretation of a given concept, such as Our Guardian Angels in this particular instance. ----------------------------------- Conference #2 on Angels will be made available shortly.
