An Angel in our Midst
A Lenten Minute Reflection for Wednesday, March 25, 2015
by Dcn Bob Bonomi
Today we celebrate Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel, proclaiming great news - God is coming to us as one of us! But few people recognized the Good News, Jesus, as he walked among them for over 30 years. I'm afraid that we are just as unobservant today.
Every day we encounter angels proclaiming great news - usually without knowing it. More than just celestial beings, the term "angel" is used whenever someone or something intercedes for us. If angels are God's messengers, sent to proclaim the Good News, then we should be always watchful for signs of God's Presence. For it is there that we will encounter our angels, both celestial and human.
