Revelation 8: 4 tells us of the Power of Prayer. Catholics can see the “hands” of Angels!
After The Seventh Seal had been broken, Seven Trumpets were given to Seven Angels. They “stand in The Presence of God”.
Another Angel with a “golden censer” stood at The Altar. “A large quantify of incense was given to him to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that stood in front of the throne.”
~
We clearly see: “prayers of all the saints” took actual form before God!
How do “prayers” take actual form? Prayers are God-directed thoughts and words of people. Catholics pray, every day. What happens to our prayers?
Our “Prayers” take form in Heaven! They are “mixed” with the “smoke” of incense.
~
“and so from the Angels’s hand the smoke of the incense went up in the presence of God and with it the prayers of the Saints.”
We see that the Angel had “hands”! That means our prayers can be “handled”! What is going on here!?
~
All of us know that “smoke” can be “handled”. “Smoke” is made out of molecules. Any of us could hold a handful of smoke!
But, “prayers”? How can anyone hold a handful of “prayers”?
The Angel’s hand could hold both the smoke molecules from the burning incense and the “prayers” that had taken form in Heaven.
We must conclude: The things from earth, both “incense” and “prayers” take form in Heaven. God’s Angels are able to handle plants that people grow and “prayers” that people “pray”!
~
That’s why Catholics have so many images of God’s Holy Angels in every Catholic Church!
Those Blessed Images are a continual reminder! The Angels we ask to intercede for us actually handle our prayers!
Our angels can handle our “prayers” as easily as we can handle a handful of “smoke”!
What a joy to be Catholic!
