Are Angels Real?

Glow of Light
I was raised Catholic and have vivid memories of being in the cathedral in Frederick, Maryland, listening to a Latin mass. I was fascinated with the statues of angels. Since my own angels moved and spoke, I waited for the statues to do the same. They never did. Others wondered, “are angels real”, but I knew they were.
Angels had been with me since I was a toddler. They say they were always with me, but my first memory is around 18 months. They would arrive in a glow of light with wings, flowing robes, and beautiful smiling faces. I considered them as my good friends. Most often they appear to me as light beings.

So That’s What They Are
It was not until I began Catechism through the church that I had a term for these beings. The first time the nun who taught my class had us open the book to a color photo of the beings I knew as friends I felt a little “ah ha” inside. So that’s what they are…angels. I loved these beings and had tremendous trust in them.
Keeping it to Myself
As I got older, it quickly became clear that other people in my life did not see angels. When I was caught talking with them, people thought I was talking to myself. They would say, “You have such an imagination.” While that is true, I was also talking to my angels.
After the first few times I tried to tell a family member or friend and it did not go well, I decided to keep this to myself. Either I felt unheard, or not believed. It was easier to just not talk about it.
Angels in Biblical Times
The idea that others might not believe angels even exist took me by surprise. Even other Catholics scoffed at the idea, though the Bible speaks of angel messengers. Some told me that angels were something from Biblical times, or they were a symbol, not real. This led to real confusion for me as I absolutely knew they were real.
Often, in my teen years, when I engaged in conversation with someone on the topic of angels, their angels were visibly surrounding them, glowing with love. This happened even as the person was emphatically stating that angels don’t exist.
Saved by Angels
When I was 16 I was driving my dad’s truck with my four younger siblings in the back, my boyfriend and one of his siblings in the front with me. I was following another vehicle to a party and on the twisting dirt roads, was getting left behind. So I sped up. We came to a sharp curve left. I felt the truck sliding to the right. Then the front and back tires on the right side of the truck went off the road. There was a 50 foot drop just off the road. I remember thinking, “Oh my God. I just killed all of my siblings.”
Then a golden glow filled the cab and instead of the truck tipping to the right and plunging all of us down that drop, suddenly we were back on the road. I turned the wheel to the left and we rocketed up a dirt road, coming to a stop against a boulder. No one was injured. I was crying and silently thanking God and our angels for saving us.

Thank you, Angels
Our collective angels, mine, my siblings, my boyfriend and his brother’s, lifted that truck and put us safely back on the road. This really happened. It was over 40 years ago and I still remember the emotions of the moment.
Most people either have a story of their own, or know someone who does. This was not some isolated incident that happened to me because of my life long bond with angels. When it is our time, it’s our time. But when it’s not, our angels are there to help us

Are Angels Real? Get the Proof You Crave
All of the talking in the world will not convince a person who needs to experience it for their self. Being a critical thinker, I understand that. Here is one way you can get some proof. This is about feeling your angel’s presence.
In a quiet place, close your eyes. Breathe slowly in through your nose, out through your mouth. Out loud, ask your angels to draw close to you and allow you to feel their energy. You will feel the frequency go up around you. This may give you chills. If you do not feel it the first time, keep practicing. You need to drop the interior barrier you have and it may take time.
