Fr. Glenn: My Guardian Dear

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

The subject of angels often captivates people. There’s actually quite a number of references to angels in the Bible—315 by my BibleGateway concordance count, the number probably depending on the translation. But from cover to cover our angel guides are there—from Genesis to Revelation—just as they are from “cover to cover” of our lives.
