Original Manuscript:
As we see in the Gospel today, angels are often viewed as these great and powerful creatures that are way beyond us. Thankfully, God has a host of them who are on our side.
But the word “angel” wasn’t originally meant to refer to a different form of being. The word simply means “messenger”.
That is good news for us because it means angels truly are all around us and many of them we can see. We are all called to be messengers: messengers of the Gospel, messengers for God.
Being an angel isn’t a hard thing to do. All it requires is for us to share who Jesus is with those we meet in this world.
