ReplyDeleteMy Guardian dear
To whom God’s love
Commits me here.
Ever this day be at my side
To light, to guard, to rule and
Guide.”
This was the first prayer I remember learning. I can still, in my minds eye, see the plastic two page book like little shrine in my bedroom. After today, and what portends for tomorrow, I do not think our guardian angels are enough!
My first prayer, too, Mr. H. Sometimes I wish I could see my angel, like Padre Pio did. I would certainly remember to ask for help when I need it!
DeleteI do ask mine for help too. I read once JPII would ask his to communicate with other people he met, especially people he had difficulty with. I like that!
ReplyDeleteHoly Angels! Who do you root for?
ReplyDeleteFor God I should think. Free will allows us to choose for ourselves.
