Lately I have been tossing and
turning a lot in my sleep. I know since the beginning in my life when I started
paying attention to the things that I think about, dream about and then deal
with after I wake up, there is a connection there somewhere. My mother used to
tell me we are never alone. We all have a heavenly winged friend. A friend who
is always with us and never leaves us whether we are awake or asleep. Once she
joked and said my dad had two guardian angels because he needed twice the
protection.
We must do two things every day of
our lives. We must thank God for this precious gift of having a guardian angel
and we must also be aware that whatever we do, think, act or rely on in life,
it takes the efforts of these guardian angels to make it come true. Knowing we
have an angel on our minds keeps us from delving into sinful behaviors. It keeps
us on our toes to know we are not alone even when we can’t see them. We have to
rely on these angels to live a good life and prepare us for our eternal home –
heaven.
Angels are pure and intelligent. They
are immortals and they possess God’s spirit but they cannot read our minds. Reading
our minds is a consensual relationship between you and your angels as it is a necessity
to get us through the day. We give permission through prayer. We communicate
through prayer. As we pray our thoughts become known to them and they can help
us. During times of stress it is not unusual to ask an angel to help us pray
and find the right words to say to God. It’s a natural means to communicate and
it pleases all.
Our guardian angels are utilitarian
in nature. They never rest, sleep or get tired. They are hard workers and they
are committed to help you do the right things in life. Our guardian angels can
help us in these important aspects of our interior intimate personal lives.
Angels are like best friends for
they do what is best for you and protect you from evil. They know how to bring
you help when you need more strength, wisdom, perseverance or energy and
because they can sense your bodily needs, they know when to summon other angels
to help you. They are all instruments of God and prompt us to forgive, confess
and live the good life without submitting to temptation.
Angels are there to keep from
falling into the hands of the devil. Their heavenly splendor will guide you
with the avoidance of mortal sin as well as recognizing the graces of God. Sometimes
they come without their wings and look like humans. They come and meet us when
times are in despair and manifest themselves in your presence to give you hope.
You may not recognize an angel at the moment of anger, despair or anxiety but
when the crisis passes over, you know the angel was there.
Rocky bumpy roads are part of the
journey traveled. He who walks with angels fears not death or evil for they are
in the company of the Holy Spirit that will guide them and protect them fiercely
forever and forever. Hand in hand they will walk with you until you reach the
narrow gates of heaven.
God is magnificent and whatever God
touches or creates is beautiful and covered with His grace. His love for the
human race is undoubting. His heavenly virtues; the mountains, the earth, the
rivers, wind and forest, the plants and all the living creatures of land and
sea harmonize together by the efforts of our angels who direct them to the
common end.
Our Guardian Angels see God. They
possess a pure intelligence and a pure will. Many spiritual writers contend
that our angels shield themselves when we commit sins, seeing as they do the
horror that each one of our sins imposed our God. All the more reason for us to ask our
Guardian Angels to help to keep us from even the smallest sins so that we can
grow in holiness rather than sink into the mire of hell.
Our Guardian Angels stand ready to
help to prompt us to say our prayers. They stand ready to help us to avoid sin
and to cooperate with the graces won for you when Jesus Christ bled His most
precious blood. They stand ready to help us to view our own lives and the
events of our lives in this mortal world through the eyes of the true Faith. We
are never alone. We have a Heavenly friend who is always with us and who wants
us to rely upon his help.
