Have you ever done something that you did not want to admit to?
I think it’s safe to say that all of us have been there in different degrees, depending our how our conscience has been formed.
In times of regret and shame, I for one tend to isolate myself. Not in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. I always end up just praying to God by my spiritual self. Don’t get me wrong I love spending one on one time with the Lord because that’s how I journey with the Lord, but I always forget of that one buddy that is always with me.
My guardian angel.
“On their hands they [angels] will bear you up,/ so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.” (Psalm 91:12)
I always forget that I have a guardian angel that is here to protect me. In times when I am far from God and in times when I’m so close and personal with God. I have a guardian angel that helping me in my personal missions and journeys with the Lord.
“It is consoling to know that this angel prays without ceasing for us; he offers to God all our good actions, thoughts, desires, if they are pure.” – St. Padre Pio
I remember this one time when I had a friend ask me to pray that she can organize her schedule to go to mass. I sent my guardian angel to this friend. Later that evening my friend told me that she was able to go to mass because her prior commitments fell through.
I’d like to believe that my guardian angel had some sort of hand in this in helping her get to mass that day.
We all have a guardian angel. They exist to help us in our lives. They are “always ready to listen to us, and even more console us,” as St. Padre Pio states. If you have a friend in need, send your guardian angel to help that person out. If you are in the midst of temptation, ask your guardian angel to help you fight against it.
As you continue on with the life God has given you, let us not forget this faithful companion or “divine sidekick” when he picks us up when we fall.
And with that, may God be forever praised!
