Angelus | The Angel | EN | IN

During the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out – Acts 5: 17-33.





Dear Sister and Brother, 

Maybe you are in the night of your life now. You are going through difficult experiences. You cannot see the light. Everything seems too complicated to solve. You are not strong enough to control the reality. 
In this state of mind, you need the angle of the Lord. Your life will benefit from the mysterious and powerful help of this angel. From the beginning until death, you are surrounded by their watchful care and intercession. Besides you stands an angel as protector and shepherd. So here on earth, your life shares in the company of angels united in God. 
The Lord does not leave you alone. But through the help of your guard angel opens the doors of your prison and wants to lead you out. The question is if you allow him to support you. Because you often prefer to take care of everything on your own. You still think that you can manage by your own strength. Yet, it is impossible. 
Many wise men and scholars will tell you that you should listen to them more than God. They control your life and lock you in their prisons again and again. They do not allow you to be free. 
The Acts of Apostles remind us that we have to stand face to face those people. We cannot follow their strict orders but the commandments of God. We must teach and preach in the name of Jesus Christ. We want to obey God more than men. Only in this way, we will rejoice in the heavenly Kingdom. We are witnesses of these things as is the Holy Spirit God has given to us (v. 32).
