Guardian Angels

Who is your Guardian Angel?

 

One of the first prayers many of us learned was probably the prayer to our Guardian Angel:

Angel of God

My guardian dear

To Whom God’s love

Commits me here

Ever this day

be at my side

to light and guard

to rule and guide. Amen

 

Who is your favourite Angel and why?

 

It is worth reminding ourselves that we also have an angel with us here on earth, it could be a parent, family member, friend, work colleague, someone you trust or a stranger that helped you, lookingand looked for nothing in return. Maybe you were or are that Angel for someone in your life.

 

Most days I head off for a walk bringing my music with me, getting lost in my thoughts and using the time to exercise and count steps. Last week as I was heading out for my walk, my phone had died and I could not find my earphones so I left without my music. On my walk, I noticed an elderly woman who looked like she needed directions and when I stopped, I noticed she was very distressed. She did not know where she was going and everything around her was unfamiliar, eventually she gave me the name of an area, which was 5k in the opposite direction, I knew the area and told her I would walk with her to the area, still something was not right. She had a phone with her and when she answered it and spoke about where she was, nothing was adding up. Eventually after a while I managed to speak to the person who rang her, she was out driving around looking for her aunt, the lady with me was in the early stages of alzimers and had wandered off. We read about this nearly every day, but unless we get a glimpse of it or walk in their shoes ourselves, we just do not know. When the woman’s niece drove to where we were, she said, she believed in angels and I was there at the right time.

I look at the people who care for that woman and all carers as angels and wish them well. I am so glad I did not bring my music with me that day or I may not have stopped.

 

 

Angels are sent from God to protect us, pray for us and proclaim the good news that leads us to the good news in our lives and helps us find union with God.

Why not call on your angel today!

Angels are spiritual beings and so it’s difficult to visualise them but through the ages people have used a variety of images and . ….to help us to do that.
