God’s messengers were going up and down

“Then he had a dream: a stairway rested on the ground, with its top reaching to the heavens; and God’s messengers were going up and down on it.” (GN 28: 12)

It was Jacob’s dream, but shows reality. We are surrounded by God’s messengers, who are always “going up and down” with our prayers, intentions and thanksgiving. We can’t see them, but they really protect us, guide us and help us. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and holy Mass are like “stairways rested on the ground, with the top reaching to the heavens.”

“Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel.” (Gospel Acclamation)
