Today is a very special Feastday. Where would we all be without our Guardian Angels? Most of us at least say a short simple prayer to our angel each morning and/or night. But we can never underestimate their presence or their love for us. I. too was taught this little simple prayer and was faithful to it, but it wasn’t until I was older, and met Fr Alessio Parente, who wrote the book about Padre Pio‘s own guardian angel, that I started to really take notice. I managed to get a signed copy of his book years ago when I visited San Giovanni Rotundo. This book is a treasure – it is worth getting hold of and a great source to retell the stories to Children. See the video below: (Fr Parente was a personal carer for Padre Pio for many years – his stories are first hand)
Devotions to the Holy Angels
“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?”–Heb.i. 14
“The Angels,” says St. Augustine, “love us as their fellow-citizens, and hope to see us fill up what has been lost to their own number by the fall of the rebel angels.
For this reason they are always present with us, and watch over us with the greatest care.
At all times, and in every place, they are ready to help us, and to provide for our wants.
They walk with us in all our ways; going out and coming in, they follow us still, anxiously considering whether we live piously and purely in the midst of a wicked world.
They assist those who labor;
they guard those who rest;
they encourage those who light;
they crown those who conquer;
they rejoice with the joyful, and sympathize with the suffering.
When we do well, the angels are glad, but the devils are sad.
When we sin, the devils rejoice, but the angels are cheated of their joy.” (Solil.ap. 27.)
We ought, therefore, to honor these blessed spirits with very great reverence and affection, and to pray to them, especially our guardian angels, to whom God has given charge over us, to keep us in all our ways (Ps. xc), and we may be sure that this devotion will be most pleasing to them, and most useful to ourselves.
