| Angel of miraculous power | Mary of the Snows, Oswald |
Whilst we were still sitting around our mother with scraped knees and dishevelled hair as children and she told us fairy tales, she was always aiming at one side of the child’s soul: faith. No one can believe as deeply and strongly as a child. This is not just an easy or good faith, but a strong faith with which the child can move mountains, walk over waves, pass through flames unscathed and tear open the heavens with its unshakeable trust. Is it not said: “Because they believe, because they trust so firmly”?
Faith is grace, just as being a child before God is a grace for an adult. A person who is a child in his heart can believe much more steadfastly than others. Such a person can also grasp the angel who stands before God’s Throne today much more deeply than others. Who believes in miracles today? Only those who are still children in their hearts and who are able to believe unshakeably. God has bound the miracle to this faith and to this childlikeness, which, even today, is still an infinite proof of God’s love for His children on earth… for those who believe.
God gave the grace of miracles to an angel of the Sealed Powers:
Saint Hamasim.
Miraculous power is thus documented as power from God. The fact that it is a sealed power indicates that it is really far greater, but that it is restrained and tamed for the good of mankind. It is placed in the Hands of Mary. Saint Hamasim wears the blue mantle as a sign of his special affiliation to the Mistress of Heaven and Earth. He bears the sign of the Immaculate Heart of his Queen on his chest. From this heart the fountain of grace flows over his sealed hands. How would it flow without these bonds?
Saint Hamasim is an angel of Mary’s love. He is also the Power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom the angels of the Sealed Powers are subject. He receives a very mysterious stream of power via the Angel of the Word, who stands on the Breath of God. This current of power is distributed over all the Cherubim, and Saint Chamael intercepts it as a force of attraction. He is the strongest. He is the Veiled One amongst the Cherubim, and he carries the secret of God’s love to the child of God.
God can also lead His children into the realm of miracles… He, most of all. This inventive gift with which God’s children are surrounded and made happy cannot be grasped by any human mind. The best we can do is to imagine it when we follow this stream, sparkling and flashing in a thousand colours and lights, down via Saint Chamael to Saint Pharim, who carries the divine Word of love: Come! From him, it goes on to Saint Hamasim, who forwards the stream via the angels of the virtue of hope to the Angels of the Church and the Angels of Special Service of Mary, who, just as silently and hiddenly as their Mistress, now place the miracle in the hearts of believing children.
Prayer: Heavenly Mother, let us be children with open hands and believing hearts, so that we may experience in ourselves what God has prepared for those who love Him. Amen.
