Have you ever felt utterly hopeless, totally heartbroken, completely defeated or monumentally exhausted? The experience probably also made you feel, at times, extremely alone. But during your last big crisis, whether you were aware of it or not, you were already being supported by an elite yet very large group of angelic entities called the Angels of Mercy, who specialize in bringing mercy into a situation when it is needed most. When someone cries out for help from Spirit in desperation, terror or hopelessness, often Spirit sends an Angel of Mercy to answer that call.

Angels of Mercy can be found on battlefields and in hospitals, and Angels of Mercy are always nearby when someone is experiencing cruelty, injustice or terrible suffering. Just like first responders will rush into a burning building as the occupants are running out, so will Angels of Mercy fly to where the world's pain and darkness are greatest so that they can shine their healing light. They cannot always miraculously change a situation or eradicate the suffering of those involved. But they can bring miracles, both big and small, and guide humans toward navigating the most advantageous route through challenges. Like all angels, Angels of Mercy can bring guidance, opportunities and helpful people into your life. Angels of Mercy can also help you manage the complex emotions that come with crisis.

The next time your world gets turned upside down, call on loved ones, coworkers and health-care professionals for help, but don't forget to call on the Angels of Mercy too. You can call on Angels of Mercy anytime, but the following are excellent occasions to ask for their help.
