A popular Gerswhin tune, Someone To Watch Over Me, can be applied to our Guardian Angel, whose Memorial we observe today. As far back as St. Basil in the 4th century, the tradition has been handed down, stemming from the Exodus story of the pillar of fire and the pillar of smoke protecting the Israelites, that God has assigned a special messenger (guardian angel) "to light and rule, protect and guide" us through life. How many times have we hesitated in making a turn or pulling into another lane, only to find that if we had done so then, that mysterious car which appeared out of nowhere would have hit us. May we give thanks to our angel today and join with him/her (?) in singing the thrice fold-holy holy holy in praise of our loving God.
