From the Parochial Vicar, Fr. Pedro Mercado, Jr. I Am Sending an Angel Ahead of You to Guard You (Ex. 23:20)
Have you ever wondered who the angels are and what do they do? In the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can read much of what the Catholic Church teaches us about the angels. “Angels have been present since creation and throughout the history of salvation, … [they have] assisted the prophets, [and] Gabriel announced the birth of the Precursor and that of Jesus himself (CCC, 332, http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c1p5.htm). There are angels who serve as God’s messengers and others who tend to the needs of people. Some angels look after us whereas others
rejoice with us. They pray for us and are a support for us in our daily lives. Jesus exclaims “there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents” ( Luke 15:10). Angels have different tasks. In Sacred Scripture we can read about Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel (also known as Archangels). Fr. William Saunders in Archangels and Guardian Angels explains, “They are called archangels because of their important roles in God's plan. St. Michael, whose name means ‘Who is like God?’ led the army of angels who cast Satan and the rebellious angels into hell; at the end of time, he will wield the sword of justice to separate the righteous from the evil (cf. Rv. 12:7-0). St. Gabriel, whose name means ‘Strength of God,’ announced to Mary that she had been chosen as the Mother of the Savior (cf. Lk. 1:26-38).
St. Raphael, whose name means "Remedy of God," cured the blind man Tobit (cf. Tb. 5)” (Saunders, Archangels and Guardian Angels, 1). We might also recall in Revelation 12:7-9 that Saint Michael and the angels battle the dragon, “Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.” Saint Michael can be called upon or invoked when we feel an evil presence among us, when we feel that we are in danger from an enemy. All angels have special tasks but the guardian angels are called to bring the light of God to us, to remind us of God’s presence among us, and to be with us at all times. In Psalm 91: 10-12 we read, “No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent. For he commands his angels with regard to you, to guard you wherever you go. With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.” God has given us so many means to come to Him. We have of course our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we have the saints, we have the Sacraments, and among many others we have the angels! Let us call upon the angels to guide us towards our Lord. A great way to do this would be to attend Mass on the feast of the Archangels (September 29) and the feast of the Guardian Angels (October 2).
All the angels can help us to get closer to God, we just have to be open enough to believe in their presence and in their help. Let us acclaim them in our daily lives and when we worship God in our personal prayer, in our prayer with the community, and most especially in the Mass. Teacher your children to pray to their guardian angels with this bedtime prayer:
Angel of God, My guardian dear, To Whom His love commits me here,
Ever this night be at my side, To light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

Santo Tomas More
“Y estoy enviando a mi Ángel delante de ti para que te proteja”
(Éxodo 23:20)
¿Te has preguntado alguna vez quiénes son los ángeles y qué hacen? En el Catecismo de la
Iglesia Católica podemos leer mucho de lo que la Iglesia Católica nos enseña acerca de los ángeles.
"Los ángeles han estado presentes desde la creación y durante toda la historia de la salvación, ...
[han] ayudado a los profetas, [y] Gabriel anunció el nacimiento del Precursor y el del propio Jesús
(CCC,332,http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism_sp/p1s2c1p5_sp.html#I%20Los%20%C3%
A1ngeles). Hay ángeles que sirven como mensajeros de Dios y otros que
atienden las necesidades de las personas. Algunos ángeles nos cuidan,
mientras que otros se regocijan con nosotros. Ellos oran por nosotros y son un
apoyo para nosotros en nuestra vida diaria. Jesús exclama "hay regocijo entre
los ángeles de Dios por un solo pecador que se arrepiente" (Lucas 15:10).
Los ángeles tienen diferentes tareas. En la Sagrada Escritura podemos leer
acerca de Miguel, Rafael y Gabriel (también conocidos como Arcángeles). P.
William Saunders en “Archangels and Guardian Angels” explica: "Se les llama
arcángeles por su papel importante en el plan de Dios. San Miguel, cuyo
nombre significa "¿Quién es como Dios?" Encabezó el ejército de ángeles que
arrojó a Satanás y los ángeles rebeldes al infierno; al final de los tiempos,
empuñará la espada de la justicia para separar a los justos del mal (ver Ap.
12:7-0). San Gabriel, cuyo nombre significa "Fortaleza de Dios", anunció a
María que había sido elegida como la Madre del Salvador (véase Lucas 1:26-
38). San Rafael, cuyo nombre significa "Remedio de Dios", curó al ciego Tobías (ver Tb. 5)" (Saunders,
Archangels and Guardian Angels, 1). También podemos recordar en Apocalipsis 12:7-9 que San
Miguel y los ángeles luchan contra el dragón, "Entonces se desato una batalla n el cielo: Miguel y sus
combatieron contra el dragón. Lucharon el dragón y sus ángeles, pero no pudieron vencer, y ya no
hubo lugar para ellos en el cielo. El dragón grande, la antigua serpiente, conocida como el Demonio o
Satanás, fue expulsado; el seductor del mundo entero fue arrojado a la tierra y sus ángeles con él.”
San Miguel puede ser llamado o invocado cuando sentimos una presencia malvada entre nosotros,
cuando sentimos que estamos en peligro de un enemigo.
Todos los ángeles tienen tareas especiales, pero los ángeles guardianes están llamados a traernos la
luz de Dios, recordarnos la presencia de Dios entre nosotros y estar con nosotros en todo momento.
En el Salmo 91: 10-12 leemos: "La desgracia no te alcanzara ni la plaga se acercará a tu tienda: pues a
los ángeles les ha ordenado que te escolten en todos tus caminos. En sus manos te habrán de
sostener para que no tropiece tu pie en alguna piedra” Dios nos ha dado tantos medios para venir a
él. Por supuesto, tenemos a nuestro Señor y Salvador, Jesucristo, tenemos a los santos, tenemos los
sacramentos, ¡y entre muchos otros tenemos a los ángeles! Llamemos a los ángeles para guiarnos
hacia nuestro Señor. Una buena forma de hacerlo sería asistir a la Misa en la fiesta de los Arcángeles
(29 de septiembre) y la fiesta de los Ángeles Guardianes (2 de octubre).
Todos los ángeles pueden ayudarnos a acercarnos a Dios, solo tenemos que ser
lo suficientemente abiertos como para creer en su presencia y en su ayuda.
Aclamémosles en nuestra vida diaria y cuando adoremos a Dios en nuestra
oración personal, en nuestra oración con la comunidad y, especialmente, en la
Misa. Instruya a tus hijos a orar a sus ángeles guardianes con esta oración antes
de dormir:
Ángel de mi guarda, dulce compañía,
No me desampares, ni de noche ni de día.
No me dejes solo, que me perdería.
Hasta que amanezca en los brazos de Jesús, José y María.
Amén.
