The gospel for the memorial of guardian angels is taken from Matthew, 18th chapter. First through the fifth verse and 10th verse. The disciples approached Jesus and said, who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? He called a child over, placed it in their midst and said, amen. I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my Heavenly Father. What do children have that we lose? Imagination? Enthusiasm. They’re in a time in their life where they’re open as fully as they can be to everything that’s coming their way.

That’s the humility that Jesus is asking his followers to have and to believe in something as beautiful and as simple as the idea that there are spiritual beings all around us that are looking out for us, that are sending us messages, answers to our prayers, protecting us from harm. Children would just take to that so easily, and adults not so much. Satan Foreign the Closing Prayer Father as adults we often ask how something can happen. We want to nice neat explanation so we can believe it. Awaken our imaginations, the imaginations of a child, so that we can be open to the mysterious things that you have planned for us that are beyond understanding, but can only be understood with the heart. And we ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
