Veil of Understanding

May the veil be taken from your mind

Such that your eyes open to understanding 

That there are angels all around, blessing

Children, disabled with what'er life is handing

Tom Obray on Facebook spoke oh angel experience: his isn't a near death experience but I think it's interesting to post on this site. Our stake had recently changed boundaries for several of the wards. I was serving in the teacher's quorum with a good friend of mine going back 25 years to high school. We had an assignment from the stake to visit the Care Center to pass the sacrament once a month. On one occasion we only had two priests and we needed four priests because there was a sacrament for children under 18 and a regular sacrament meeting for those over 18. The children under 18 were all physically disabled and could not walk, nor talk. My friend and I blessed the sacrament that day in the primary. While he was blessing the water, suddenly I could feel the veil becoming very thin. As I stood there wondering what was happening I became aware that there were angels in the room blessing the children. In my mind I could see them going from one child to the next. After administering the sacrament I asked my friend if he felt anything while he was blessing the water. He said yes there were angels in the room blessing the children. Years later I came across a scripture that best described how I felt during that experience. Doctrine and Covenants section 110:1 The veil was taken from our minds, and the eyes of our understanding were opened.
