Young Angels

Young Angels - Gabrielle Park (Oxford Academy, 7th Grade)

The Gates of Heaven awaited a flood of new angels.

Said the Lord: ‘Welcome, Children of Abraham. Fear not, for suffering ceases here. Want not, for your bodies are now and forever whole. Rest in peace and love always.”

Obeying, all the new angels joined hands and walked together through the pearly gates. The Lord waited until every angel passed, kissing each and every one.

As the Lord finally returned to his seat, one Sentinel asked another: ‘Why is our Lord crying?’

‘Too many young angels this month. From the place of his birth.’
