From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E S F O R T H E D A Y := Thus says the Lord: "See, I am sending an angel before you, to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared." ~Exodus 23:20-23 "The Lord has put angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways." ~Psalm 191 "See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father." ~Matthew 18:1-5, 10 Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ .=: S A I N T O F T H E D A Y :=. The Guardian Angels Saint Basil the Great (died 378) taught that "each and every member of the faithful has a Guardian Angel to protect, guard, and guide them through life." As children we learned the "Angel of God" prayer, and were reminded that God is with us always, protecting, guarding and guiding us. Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Sacred Scripture mentions Archangels and Angels that protect, guard and guide us through life. We might think back to our childhood and the comfort we took in having a Guardian Angel. Today we have the same need for protection, guarding and guidance. We can know through our Guardian Angels that God is with us every moment of our life, ready to help us. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may know that God is with me always. I pray that I may not see my Guardian Angel as something childish, but a reminder of God's offer of protection and guidance today and always. .=: W E P R A Y :=. Reb asks prayers for two intentions.
