When Jesus was born, the angels brought the news of great joy! When Jesus rose from the tomb, the angels attested to the resurrection: “Surprise!  He’s not here! Why even look for him among the dead?” Have you experienced the angels as messengers of joy and surprise bringers? When I drive, I often ask the angels and saints to be with me. And in many other ways I ask for their intercession. Sometimes my prayerful requests are so tiny that I’m almost embarrassed to pray them. But voila! Those tiny things that mean a lot to me are fulfilled with hardly any time passing. I can almost hear that angel or saint snickering: “Thought I couldn’t do it, didn’t you?”
