This summer will mark the twenty-year anniversary of one such encounter.<br \/>\nAugust of 2001 saw me visiting my sister in La Crosse, WI and taking a brief tour of the chapel in the motherhouse of the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, on the campus of Viterbo University, where my (now retired) sister taught. <\/p>\n<p>There are many angels to be seen there, and so the chapel is named <em>Maria Angelorum<\/em>. Among the angels are a number of the heavenly host who bear the instruments of the passion and death of Jesus: the nails, the hammer, the thorns, the dice rolled for his garment, Pilate\u2019s washbasin, the reed that struck him, the cock that signaled Peter\u2019s betrayal, and so on. That these objects were angel-borne at first shocked me, as it was my first encounter with this particular angelic symbolism. (The shock would likely be even greater for those who have grown accustomed to soft, easy, fluffy angels, made safe for mainstream media consumption on the airwaves, social media, and in greeting card racks.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Unknown-300x107.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Unknown-300x107.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Unknown.jpeg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yet angels are\u2014first and foremost, above all else\u2014messengers of the working out of the will of God. In the scriptures, when angels appear, they first reassured humans with the words \u201cFear not!\u201d Their appearance must have been shocking. The angels in the chapel windows, bearing the means by which God\u2019s own Son would meet his death, bear a message as troubling as the one Gabriel brought to Mary. With her, we can easily look at these angels and ask, \u201cHow can this be?\u201d How can one of God\u2019s lovely, beautiful, glorious, light-filled angels come bearing these bleak implements of death?<\/p>\n<p>My visit to the chapel was still much in my mind a month later, in September of 2001. Following the events of September 11, the question \u201cHow can this be?\u201d was asked a lot. Some answered, \u201cIt cannot be,\u201d and surrendered all hope or belief in a just or merciful God.<br \/>\nThe feelings that I had when first viewing those angel windows came back again time and again throughout this past year, as I and many others asked, \u201cHow can this be?\u201d This time I\u2019ve had a whole year to reflect and pray about the matter. I rediscovered the existence of the angel of death (also known as the avenging or destroying angel) in the Hebrew scriptures\u2014though I also learned there was no angel in the Passover account of Exodus. It was the very hand of God that brought death to Egypt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/giotto-the-lamentation-angels-300x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/giotto-the-lamentation-angels-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/giotto-the-lamentation-angels-600x229.jpg 600w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/giotto-the-lamentation-angels-768x293.jpg 768w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/giotto-the-lamentation-angels.jpg 803w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I continued this past year to look at the global maps of the pandemic, to see the mounting death tolls, wondering how many of those deaths were avoidable if human arrogance, greed, selfishness, and pride\u2014definitely not our better angels\u2014had not gotten in the way.<br \/>\nAs in years past, as we begin our turn from the Sundays of Lent to the days of Holy Week, I know I will be transported back twenty years at least several times, coming face to face with those angels once again. As I did back then, and have ever since, I\u2019ll find the expressions on the faces of those angels to be largely inscrutable, with a certain air of resignation about them as they bear symbols of suffering, devices of death. Once again, I\u2019ll hope that they know the angel who, Luke alone reports, came to comfort Jesus in the garden. I think, I hope\u2014I <em>need<\/em> to believe that heaven granted these angels the ability to look beyond that awful moment for which they were messengers. These angels bore these implements in their hands not because God ordains or desires suffering or death, but because they know, as God\u2019s messengers, that God\u2019s will must be worked out, and shall be worked out beyond moments obfuscated by our mortal vision.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, just maybe, it was one of these same angels who was allowed a seat in the empty tomb to tell the Good News of life triumphant. Perhaps a few of them were chosen to chasten the disciples not to look skyward, but to go into the world on a mission to wreak God\u2019s will for love, truth, life, peace, justice, and mercy.<\/p>\n<p>May God grant us their vision, and their mission.<\/p>\n<p>More about the <em>Maria Angelorum<\/em> chapel and its angels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fspa.org\/content\/chapel\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angels are\u2014first and foremost, above all else\u2014messengers of the working out of the will of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63,"featured_media":54994,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[1803,176,1234],"class_list":["post-54993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-angels","tag-holy-week","tag-passion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
