That's lovely Alan, I think I've heard it before or something like it. I like the idea.
I found this: Mathew 18:10 reads: “See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven".
Thanks for your positive response, Robbie.
Not sure if you read this post I made some time ago, but it is relevant:
A few weeks ago my wife and I were hosting a meal with two other Christian couples. A piece of Bible text we discussed was the quote from Jesus that we all have Angels in heaven. Our friend Helen seemed very moved by this reading, saying she had never come across it before.
Helen came up to us today after Mass to share something she had kept secret for twenty years. It was twenty years ago when she was diagnosed with Multiple-Sclerosis, and she recalled walking down Stockton High Street in bright sunshine thinking about the warning she had just been given that her sight might soon fail due to MS. She was looking at all the wonderful colours in the sunshine thinking soon she may never see them again in such vivid glory.
She was passing someone doing a street collection, and as she put her hand out to give a donation, the person took hold of her arm and said just one sentence: "Don't worry, your sight will never fail". Helen was so frightened by this she walked quickly away, but then retraced her steps to try to speak to this person, but when she looked the person was gone.
Helen now needs to walk with crutches due to the MS, but her sight is still intact twenty years later. Was it an angel sent to reassure her?
