"angels of God ascending and descending"

John 1:47-51

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Here is a true child of Israel. There is no duplicity in him."
Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree."
Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."
Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this."
And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Reflection:

 I will invite every to reflect on their personal experiences on the angels aided by the grace of God. Recall our childhood and simply cherish the moments we pray the 'Angel of God" as our prayer for day to day protection.

Let us dwell on the nature of the angels as they ascend to heaven and descend to earth to give good tidings to us and to protect us.

May we cherish those special moments that we ask for intercessions and their protection. We remember the Angel Gabriel as he announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceived a child (Jesus). We repeatedly acknowledge him during Angelus prayer.

Angels are very special they serve as messengers of God aside from the prophets. They announces God's direct messages and reveal to us in mysterious ways.

This day is dedicated to them, the Church honors them as they are enrolled in the official Calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. Today is their feasts and let us implore their providence to protect us day to day.
