I believe in angels

I believe in angels 
Something good in everything I see 
I believe in angels 
When I know the time is right for me 
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream 
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream 
I have a dream, a song to sing 
To help me cope 
with anything 
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale 
You can take the future even if you fail 

I have a dream (ABBA)

"All About Angels" -- Dr. Andrew Sulavik

.........................

Such faith in the existence of angels informs the lives of Catholics
and speaks to the particular needs and experiences of every age,
including our own. The present and past are constantly being
woven together to form a uniform Catholic vision that helps
explain how angels fit into the created universe. But is it still
possible for Catholics to reconcile this teaching to our modern
knowledge of how things work in the universe?
If we take God seriously as the Creator of the universe, as the
Architect of its laws and Source of its existence, then the answer
to this question is a resounding, “Yes”! The truth about angels
becomes all the more reasonable to believe when we consider that
God is certainly capable of creating beings of a higher order than
ourselves in a multidimensional universe. Without denying God
the possibility of governing the universe through the natural
laws, we can easily fit angels into the general understanding of
God’s governance of the universe. Furthermore, the belief that
angels guide natural events helps us avoid the error of ascribing
all that we see solely to certain assumed laws of nature. It also
helps us avoid the erroneous but popular notion that we live in a
mechanical universe where God’s presence and governance are
not needed.
If we take our beliefs seriously and embrace the view of a
multidimensional universe populated with angels, then we are
forced to reconsider our place in the universe and must humbly
admit that we are not the pinnacle of God’s creation. It is then
not unreasonable to believe that out of God’s concern and care for
us he would create spiritual beings with intellects and wills
superior to our own for the purpose of protecting and guiding us-25-
on our difficult pilgrimage back to himself. God created angels
as one means of shepherding his creation, for angelic activity
represents God’s knowing and loving solicitude for every
creature. The better we understand how angels minister to us,
the better we appreciate God’s loving concern for us.
In an age that tends to forget God or at best keeps him at a
distance, our belief in angels is a powerful reminder that Christ
is at the center of the human and angelic worlds. The Letter to
the Ephesians reminds us of the purpose that God had set forth
in Christ, “as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in
him, things in heaven and things on earth” (Ephesians 1:9-10).
We should be aware that we are united with the angels in Christ,
and that we share a common mission with them, namely,
announcing the Good News of Christ to all nations. Our
knowledge and reverence for angels contribute to our preparing
for a new springtime of evangelization in our new millennium by
reminding us that we have been called to holiness of life, a life
devoted to knowing, loving, and serving God.
Finally, God created things visible and invisible in order to
share his blessed life with the angels and humans. In a sermon on
the Ascension, Saint John Chrysostom (c. 400-450) describes the
joy that the angels will experience at seeing Christ lead humanity
back into heaven at the Ascension. The angels will rejoice with
us at that time because they will see “what they were always
waiting for: human nature resplendent in beauty and glory.”5
Thus it is that, for the Christian, a life of grace brings with it the
unfailing hope of enjoying a “communion of life and love with
the Trinity, with the Virgin Mary, the angels and all the blessed”
