Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels

Let my tongue be silenced if I ever forget you! By the streams of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. On the aspens of that land we hung up our harps.

God will deliver us from all evil. This is something we never forget. Even when we are faced with great difficulties, even when our foes seem to have the upper hand, if we trust in God, He will save us. He will lead us out of the desert and bring us to the Promised Land. He will turn our tears into joy. He will give us harps to play so we might laugh and dance and sing his praises.

Do we let our trials in this life cause us to forget God? Or do we take those challenges and make them into opportunities to praise Him? Do we trust in God enough to walk through the dark valley to get to the Promised Land on the other side?

O Lord, may we never forget what you have done for us.

Amen.
