Called to Be Angels for One Another - Homily 2nd October 2025

Today we remember with gratitude the Holy Guardian Angels, those messengers of God who guide, guard, and protect us on our journey of faith. Angels remind us that God is always present with us, even when unseen.

But this memorial also calls us to more, to be “angels” for others. Through the Holy Spirit given to us in baptism, we too are sent to bring God’s presence into the lives of those around us: by guiding, protecting, encouraging, and leading others closer to Christ.

Every small act of kindness, every word of encouragement, every prayer we whisper for someone in need, these are ways we become God’s messengers today.

Reflection Question: How is God inviting me to be an “angel”, a messenger of His love, protection, or guidance, for someone today?
