Have great devotion to this good angel!
(Our Lady being escorted to Heaven by her angels!!)

Dear Family of Mary!
Denis
and I have been reading a biography of Padre Pio. And yesterday we
came across this extraordinary advice that Padre Pio wrote to one of his
spiritual daughters, Anita Rodote, in 1915. As I read Padre Pio's
words I was just filled with joy and elation! At last I was able to
understand the immense gift each one of us receives at conception! We
are given our very own Guardian Angel for life!!
I want to share the advice Padre Pio gave to Anita. I am sure it will ignite the same joy in your hearts. Padre Pio wrote:
"Have great
devotion...to this good angel. How consoling it is to know that near us
is a spirit who, from cradle to the tomb, does not leave us even for an
instant, not even when we dare to sin. And this heavenly spirit guides
us and protects us as a friend, a brother.
But it is extremely consoling to know that this angel prays without
ceasing for us; offers to God all our good actions, our thoughts, our
desires, if they are pure.
Do not forget this
invisible companion, always present, always ready to listen to us and
even more, ready to console us...Always keep him present to your mind's
eye. Often remember the presence of this angel. Thank him, pray to him,
keep him good company.
Open yourself up to
him and confide your suffering to him. Have a constant fear of offending
the purity of his gaze...Turn to him in times of supreme anxiety and
you will experience beneficial help.
Never say that you
are alone in sustaining the battle against our enemies. Never say you
have nobody to whom you can open up and confide. You would do this
heavenly messenger a grace wrong." Padre Pio to Anita Rodote - (From Padre Pio, The True Story. C Bernard Ruffin. Our Sunday Visitor, 2018. P. 357)
After I read these
words, I immediately went into prayer! I asked my Guardian Angel to
forgive me for not understanding who he is or how very much I owe him
for being with me all these years. I spent some time just repenting,
and then asked if I could know his name. I think I was given the
answer, and it is wonderful!
Now I am spending
my day, in the presence of my dear friend from Heaven, and I feel so
different, so happy, so blessed, so secure and so humbled!! It is
wonderful.
Our Lady speaks a
lot to us about Heaven. I haven't found yet any reference to our
guardian angels in her messages. But she does talk about Heaven being
with us. In this message below, she tells us that "Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts..." I believe this is a reference to our Guardian Angels!! Here is the whole message:
December 25, 2016 "Dear
children! With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for
Him to give you His peace. Open your hearts, little children, and be
joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for
peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little
children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my
Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to
always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be
open to God and to His plans. Thank you for having responded to my
call."
By acknowledging our Guardian Angel, and spending
our day with him, we will realize that Heaven is with us, and fighting
for peace in our hearts. And with our Angel, our gaze and heart will
always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. We are so blessed!!!
In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
