Six-winged seraphim flew above Him, crying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory. This notion of a multitude of heavenly beings, worshipping God and ready to do His bidding has been taken from Jewish thought and placed at the heart of Christian worship The ancient Jews believed that these angels served both individuals and nations. Jesus saw no reason to reject this idea. For Him angels were spiritual beings. He said they would support Him at His second coming. Once He took a little child and spoke to His followers about becoming like children and caring for them. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, said Jesus, for I tell you that their angels always behold the face of My Father in heaven. The notion of Guardian angels is thus implicit in our Lord s own teaching. And in His own earthly life they are constantly seen by the Gospel-writers as ready to serve and minister to Him. They succor Him in the wilderness. They care for Him as He agonizes in the garden of Gethsemane. Had He wished, they would have fought against His captors. They are present at His resurrection.

5 Sing and rejoice, I am coming to dwell among you As I ponder those words of assurance, I think about what I can do differently to make my dwelling place more hospitable to the Lord. My home is filled with material artifacts that reveal to others that I am a person of faith. I have a collection of all those old framed parlor prints of Christ that people hung in their homes 50 and 100 years ago. There is also a Bible and a small wooden cross hanging by the door. But does the presence of this stuff that I find beautiful and comforting in my home mean that the Lord dwells with me? I don t think so. I think it means that I believe in a God that dwells with me. I was told by one of the Jesuits, that when we truly recognize God in our lives, we will not only be thankful, but we will be grateful. So I have been thinking about how can my home demonstrate gratitude for God s presence, and not just be a statement of my faith. How can people see that I am grateful for God s presence in my home? Creating a small space where I can pray has been my response to that question. For me, that space is my dining room, a room that seldom gets cluttered. It is the prettiest room in my house. But the dining room is sacred to me. It is clear to anyone who enters there that I pray before meals. This is one way I show my gratitude. It is an old habit. But sometimes people see the habit of giving thanks for meals as just evidence of faith and nothing more. There is another step. It is generosity. If the Lord dwells with me, I have many blessings, and if I have many blessings, I need to share them. If the Lord dwells in my home, especially in my dining room, it seems more and more to me that the Lord would expect guests there. So I am thinking that my dining room could be more than a place where I can pray, but also a place where people can come to experience the Lord s blessings, where they can be happy and where they can be consoled in their sorrows. So I need to be more purposeful in my hospitality to my home. In addition to inviting friends to share good company and a good meal, I need to be more intentional about inviting people to share the happiness and healing experiences of the Lord in their midst. So today I pray that we can all see our dwellings as something more than just a place where we pay the bills and conduct the business of life, such as eating and resting, but the place where the Lord dwells with us. May we all know that the Lord dwells among us when we return to our homes today. I pray that we can all see our homes, regardless of their material conditions, as places where we can host generous celebrations of the Lord in our midst as a way of sharing blessings with others. "Cieszcie się i radujcie, przychodzę by zamieszkać pośród Was Rozważajac te słowa zapewnienia, myślę o tym, co mogę zrobić, aby mój dom był bardziej gościnny dla Pana. Mój dom jest pełen przedmiotów materialnych, które ujawniają innym, że jestem człowiekiem wiary. Jest Biblia i mały drewniany krzyż, który wisi na drzwiach. Ale czy obecność tych pięknych przedmiotów oznacza, że Pan mieszka pośród nas? Myślę, że nie. Myślę, że to znaczy, że wierzę w Boga, który mieszka pośród nas. Jeden z jezuitów powiedział, że znakiem tego, że naprawdę rozpoznajemy Boga w naszym życiu, jest wdzięczność. Jak pokazać wdzięczność za obecność Boga w moim domu? Stworzenie małej przestrzeni, może być odpowiedzią na to pytanie. Dla mnie, tym miejscem jest jadalnia,pokój, który rzadko jest zaniedbany. Jest to najładniejszy pokój w moim domu, moja jadalnia jest dla mnie święta. Jest oczywiste dla każdego, kto wejdzie tam, że modlę się przed posiłkami. Jest to jeden ze sposobów aby pokazać swoją wdzięczność. Kolejny krok to hojność. Jeśli Pan mieszka ze mną, mam wiele błogosławieństw, a jeśli mam wiele błogosławieństw, muszę się nimi podzielić. Więc myślę, że moja jadalnia może być więcej niż miejscem, w którym mogę się modlić, ale także miejscem, gdzie ludzie mogą przyjść i doświadczyć błogosławieństw Pana, gdzie mogą być szczęśliwi i gdzie mogą się pocieszyć w smutkach. Więc oprócz zapraszania znajomych do dobrego towarzystwa i na smaczny posiłek, zapraszając ludzi muszę być mieć raczej na uwadze dzielenie się szczęściem i wspólnym doświadczeniem obecności Pana. Więc dziś modlę się, aby nasze domy, niezaleźnie od ich kondycji fizycznej były nie tylko miejscem, w którym przebywamy ale przede wszystkim miejscem, gdzie gościmy i czcimy Pana.
