Angels

This page is dedicated to the young lost
life of Jasper Fitzgerald
8-14-73 to 5-14-93
a victim of violence
and also to all the angelic messengers

Not yet twenty
not quite grown
many lives shattered
by a message, over the phone.

Jasper's life ended
on a cold cement floor
the angel's from heaven
descended once more.

Two fools played with danger
now each has to pay
with anguish and torment
till their final days.

Families and friends
forever without
his presence, his future
totally snuffed out.

Memories, we keep them
we grow more each day
Jasper, we love you.
That's all I can say.

My interest in poetry and things angelic was awakened in me after the death of a very dear life long family friend, Jasper Fitzgerald. He was just beginning life's adulthood journey, when at the age of nineteen he was murdered by two other young teenage boys the very night he had arrived at my house for an extended summer vacation stay. I feel that I saw an angel that night several hours after his passing and shortly after that poems just came racing out of my head. And as mentioned in the beginning, this page is dedicated to him, and also to his father, Frank Fitzgerald, his mother, Becca Fitzgerald, his sister, Chelsea Fitzgerald, and to all the angelic messengers who assisted in its creation. From Jasper, I have learned many lessons, lesson of love, whether hard to endure or a great pleasure. I will always be thankful that I have learned so much and that his life had much importance in mine. Love is beautiful, joyful, peaceful, painful, trying, and more than anything else, the substance we all must have in order to survive. I hope you enjoy what I have been given by my angels and hope that you may see life a little differently after viewing it from my eyes. I have had other angelic encounters since that dreadful day. I believe angels are here to guide us and help if they can and we are willing. The night that Jasper died , an angel appeared in my bedroom. The entire room turned a very light pink and was a little dense or foggy appearing. Then music notes started dancing around and three became predominant, spelling out the word "JOY". I felt very guilty at first for seeing this thinking I was very mentally sick for envisioning such a thing. "How could he be happy?" I asked, believing that anyone who was murdered was definitely not happy about the outcome and was in limbo or something like that until things were sorted out. I quickly came to the realization that I indeed had had an angelic encounter and within a few days I told his parents about the angels, easing their pain a bit. My daughter, Rachelle, also had an angelic encounter, but she heard voices telling her Jasper was happy and for all of us not to be sad, and she also had a "Jasper" visitation the day after his death. We all have our special ways of communicating with the angels, some hear voices, some see visions, some get feelings. I believe you know its an angelic encounter when you feel a state of calm during and following your experience. Usually, it changes your life, whether just a little or a lot. More than anything else, enjoy your life, it is precious, and no one knows how long or short it will be. And remember we all have our Own special lessons for our lifetime. This experience happened about six years ago, and since that time many changes have taken place. It was the catalyst that caused our son, Japer's best friend, to become a terribly bad drug addict, but he overcame it after several years and again with many lessons for our family, including near death experiences, terrifying missing person experiences, volatile family turmoil that was hashed over in therapy sessions, the marriage of our son and one of our daughters, and 4 precious new lives, that bring us much joy. Brian's new wife, Lorena, who did not know Brian during all the bad years and never physically met Jasper, heard Brian talking in his sleep one night. He was in an intense conversation with someone, who she learned was Jasper (in his dream or on the other side, however you want to view it). Brian was (in his sleep) actually introducing Lorena and his newborn son Jacob to Jasper. I believe he was having an angelic encounter but physically unaware of the situation. Interestingly enough, his son Jacob physically resembles Jasper (when he was an infant.) Forever I will be thankful for all that has come my way and all the love that has been bestowed upon my family.

Angels are spirits without bodies, who possess superior intelligence,
gigantic strength, and surpassing holiness. They enjoy an intimate
relationship to God as His special adopted children, contemplating, loving,
and praising Him in heaven. Some of them are frequently sent as
messengers to men .

In many religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, it is believed that
between God and mankind there are intermediary beings, called angels.
They are bodiless entities that perform certain tasks for God and are
commonly thought of as the messengers of God. Angels are good spirits,
unlike their counterparts the demons. They are usually portrayed as having a
human form, being dressed in long, white clothes, surrounded by a bright
light and with long, swanlike wings. They were portrayed thus by artist, often
on Church command, to alert the faithful that angels are more than human.
There are cases, however, where angels appeared as ordinary men and
were mistaken as such (the story of Lot, for instance).

In the early stages of mankind, the belief in spirits was universal. The
primitive man believed that there were no good or bad spirits. A spirit simply
had powers with which it could do either good or evil. With the
emerging of Christianity and other major religions, the belief in these kind of
spirits was condemned, and they became demons. The belief in angels and
demons can be traced back to ancient Persian religion where there were
two supreme beings: Ahura Mazda and his eternal opponent Angra Mainyu.
The first represents good and the second represents evil. Both have
followers and servants, angels serve Ahura Mazda, while demons (the
Daevas) serve Angra Mainyu. Here the distinction was first made between
good and evil spirits.

Until the New Testament there were only two orders of angels; the Seraphim
and Cherubim. St. Paul extended the number by adding seven new orders.
They are, arranged according to their importance: Seraphim, Cherubim,
Thrones, Dominations, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels and
Angels. Archangels are higher in rank than Angels, but still they come eighth
in the order of higher beings. Four of the most important ones are Michael,
Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. In Islam, it is believed that there are four
Archangels who guard the throne of Allah.

The Four Archangels in Charge of Earth

There are four angels in charge of this world.

The first is Gabriel and his armies. He is in charge of soldier-angels and
revelation. Gabriel insures victory .

The second is Michael and his armies, in charge of rain and vegetation. He
conveys sustenance to nurture mankind.

The third is `Azra'il the angel of death and his assistants. They are in charge
of seizing the souls of those who die.

The fourth is Israfil and his assistants, in charge of the Hour of the Day of Judgment.

Invocation of the Four Archangels

Invoke Uriel in the East. Face the East and in prayer say, " I invoke
Uriel in the space in front of me. Please give me clarity in this day. How
can I best be of service." Or ask specifically for help with clarity on that
problem.

Move then to the right, which is south, and the archangel Raphael. If there
is a particular healing you need - physical or emotional - ask Raphael for
that. But also think about what's dying away in your life so that something
new can be born, and ask for illumination or help about that thing.

To the west, invoke the archangel Gabriel to give strength to face and
overcome one's fears. Ask, "What are my fears and where do I need
strength." Then ask for Gabriel's help.

The last angel is in the north and that is Michael. He is the energy of
wisdom and love. Spend a moment reflecting on your life and if there's
something you feel you need insight on or true wisdom about, then ask
for Michael's help.

After the invocation of the angels, imagine the feminine, nurturing, the
womb-like aspect of the god. Imagine that image washing over you and
pouring through you. All negativity and doubt wash away. Your heart
becomes lighter and lighter and expands to encase you in an egg of
light, which interweaves with the light of the Divine.

Sit in that Divine presence for a period of time afterwards as the bulk of
your meditation.

Your guardian angel helps you find a place
when you feel there is no place to go.

Angels are the guardians of hope and wonder, the keepers of magic and dreams.

Your guardian Angel knows you inside and out and loves you just the way you are.

Reach for the stars.
Keep your halo polished.
Share your favorite things with others.
Plant a garden for the butterflies.
Say at least one nice thing to someone everyday.
Be patient with those who don't fly as fast as you do.
Talk to plants to help them grow.
Always tell the truth.
Think happy thoughts.
Sprinkle a little stardust wherever you go.
