Advent 5
ANGEL
His name is Gabriel (God is my strength) and he is a very busy angel. He pops and sees Joseph, drops in on Zachariah, has a quick chat with Mary. He has a coffee with some shepherds before being joined by some mates for a sing-song. For an encore he sips a liqueur, in a dream, with 3 Wise Men and pops back to see Joseph to send him and his family off to Egypt. He is one of the busiest and most over-looked characters in all the Christmas story - and like any good celebrity he has a catchphrase - his is “Do not be afraid.”
So as we continue our advent journey - do not be afraid for we travel towards a time when angels rejoice and wise men gaze in wonder…
