Today is the feast of the Guardian Angels. We tend to forget about them after we become adults. They aren’t mentioned much anymore it would seem, yet our faith teaches us that each of us has an angel assigned to us to assist us in our daily lives. Perhaps it would be a good thing for us to remember that, and to ask them regularly throughout our lives to pray for us and keep us safe.
Remember the prayer your mother taught you?
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love, has committed me here; ever this day be at my side, to light to guard, to rule to guide. Amen.
