Happy 2022: An Angel Message

 


On New Year's Eve, an angel thought reminded me to choose an angel virtue to strengthen my spiritual growth in 2022.  The idea is from Anselm Gruen's book, Angels of Grace. It has 50 angels with a description on each virtue.  When we adopt one attitude (angel) for the whole year, it will have an effect on our whole life, and something new will happen in us.    Angels want to bring out something within us, something we may forget or be to distracted to notice in our everyday lives.

If this idea speaks to you, choose the angel you need, the one you believe will do you the most good just now.  You can print out the list below, cut it in strips, and pray for guidance, before randomly picking one. Or, simply pray for guidance, close your eyes, and run your finger down the page to stop on the angel meant to accompany you in 2022. Or, maybe you intuitively know the perfect one of choice.

Angels remind us: God is near.  You are bathed in His healing and loving presence.  

It is a wonderful idea to imagine this year I will be accompanied by the angel of courage or the angel of faithfulness or the angel of harmony.  Angels are the messengers of hope.  They represent our potential for transformation, so that we increasingly match the "original picture" of divine perfection we already are in Truth. 

Expect miracles. Thoughts are things...  God's love is infinite, supreme.  

An amazing thing happened just now as I reread the angel blog.  A large brown bird flew toward the house so close to my window, I saw expansive wings glide near the rooftop.   I ran to look out the opposite window, thinking it was a hawk. But I was in for a big surprise. A wild turkey landed by the   playhouse and trotted off in the yard!   I'd never seen one fly high like that...something exciting and new in the wings. And, what a powerful symbol for all of us; a sign of gratitude and thanksgiving as we begin a New Year in the company of God's angels.  

Love, peace, and joy,
