The Feast of Our Guardian Angels!
Today, October 2, 2007, is the day designated to celebrate our Guardian Angels, Raphael (hand-painted Saint Raphael medal pictured), Gabriel & Michael. These saintly fellows, as well as those Angels not as well known, protect us and look after us day by day, and night after night.
Raphael is said to promote healing and to foster happy meetings. Gabriel is known as "the messenger" and is known for bringing happy news. Michael is the saintly protector of our police and aids in the preservation of our cemeteries. In the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life" an Angel named Clarence is assigned to look after someone, who in a time of despair, wished he had never been born. So, Clarence, being an Angel who was working on getting his wings, decides to show the man what life might had been like if he had his wish granted and he had not been born. The world turned out to be a very dreary place since he was not around to make things better. And in the end the man saw his troubles were not so bad, that he enjoyed great love and camaraderie with his fellowship of men, and had an abundance of love in his life.
On the days when your meetings and interactions with others are not proceeding as you might like, or when the news of the day is less than bright, and for the times when you face serious danger, remember to rely of the comforts of the Guardian Angels, Raphael, Gabriel and Michael to see you through. Because even though people can be difficult and lilt your spirit, and meetings can become but onerous chores, and dangers often surround us, the Guardian Angels are with us always and watching over us. Try to elevate your thinking to reach a point where you can feel the Angels and they will bring a healthy perspective during troublesome times and trials and tribulations.
