Coincidence or work of my Angel

The Valkyries – Paulo Coelho

Page 141  – “The gates to Paradise have been reopened”, he said. “God banished the angel with the burning sword who was at the gate. For some time – no one is certain for how long – anyone can enter, since it was obvious that the gates are open”

18th July 2016 – Vatican City – St Peter;’s  Basilica

As we are going to enter the Basilica – our guide tells us that the holy doors (which are supposed to be opened every 25 years – last one being in 1999 and next time – 2025, are open as this year has been marked as “The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy”.

Coincidence –  I read the book only 1 week back and Paulo has written the first copy of book in
Portuguese in 1992. I felt such an eerie feeling hearing those words from guide. I am not Christian and have no concept of Holy Doors, My visit to Rome and St Peters was purely out of tourism reasons and no spiritual attachment. But felt humbled and   awestruck walking through those doors.

Those who have not read the book, the book is about how angels are always guiding us and we need to silence ourselves to hear and talk to our angels. Was this my angel who made me bought this book, just days before my planned trip to Rome?
