[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

 Friends, today we celebrate *the Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels.*
Well*, is it reasonable to believe in angels? Look at the wild variety in
the visible universe—the millions of species of animals, the billions of
galaxies, the myriad shells that wash up on the seashore, the incalculable
number of cells in each human body.* Is it likely that, between this
staggeringly variegated physical dimension of creation and God, there
simply yawns a great ontological abyss?
* Isn’t it likely to hold that God has manifested at least an equally great
creativity in regard to the purely spiritual order?But why would God send
these spiritual messengers to help us? Why wouldn’t he just take care of us
himself?* Those questions, of course, are born of a frame of mind that sets
God and his world in competition.
On the Catholic reading, * God delights in using secondary causes, so that
his creatures can participate in his active providence of the
universe.* *Aquinas
says that each of us, due to our changeable and fallible nature, has been
assigned a heavenly guide*. *Once we’re in heaven, we won’t require a guide
anymore, and our angel will become our friend. *
