 Exodus 23:20-23

My Lord and my God, thank You for the gift of my Guardian Angel who has been appointed as my special and personal protector and friend from the moment of my conception.  Only in heaven will I know fully how often my Guardian Angel kept me from stumbling and falling headlong into danger and the traps that evil had set out to ensnare me.  It is You my God who has commanded him to watch over me.  He is before You and with me simultaneously so I am safe as he makes continual intercession on my behalf before You.

Thank you dear Guardian Angel for watching over me for being my special angel, friend protector and intercessor before God.  When I come home to heaven together we will praise God mightily for bringing me home safely with your help. 

Thank You Father making every provision to assist me to make my way home to heaven. Your mighty hand overshadows me every step of the way.

Psalm 91:1-6, 10-11

My Guardian Angel dwells with You O Most High, he rests in Your shadow and when I seek Your mighty protection, You command him to watch over me and cover me in his sheltering wings so no harm can come to me.  He preserves me from fear, terror, temptation and pestilence that stalks the world.  No harm or disaster will dare to strike me or even draw near my home for You my God have given Your holy angel charge over me to guard, guide and protect me so I will be preserved from all danger always.  Thank You Lord.  Thank you my dear Guardian Angel.  Happy Feast!

Matthew 18:1-5, 10

My Beloved, not only does God love children and those who are childlike, He does not take kindly to those who scandalize His little ones and rob them of their innocence.  We ought to tremble with fear as we watch the popular media and government worldwide become the self appointed guardians of immorality. 

In these verses You give us a glimpse of the role our angels play in watching over us.  These spiritual beings are constantly before Your Father pleading before God on behalf  of the little ones of the world.  Grant that we too do our part in preserving , protecting and praying for the helpless and the voiceless children of the world whose innocence is stripped away and who are preyed upon by evil.

2 Corinthians 10:17-11:2

My Beloved, I acknowledge that without You I am nothing but with You the possibilities are endless.  I can do all things in You and through You for You are my strength.  You feed me with the Bread of Life and You sustain me from moment t moment.  WHY?  Because YOU LOVE ME! You have a glorious plan for my life my Spouse, the beloved Bridegroom of my soul.  I am bound for heaven and for eternity. 

Psalm 131:1-3

My Beloved, I thank You and praise You for St. Therese.  Little Therese whom You infused with grace.  She taught us how we can please You just by loving You and allowing that love to prompt all her actions, her words, her thoughts and her prayers.

This psalm sums up her life here on earth perfectly and I implore You to grant that it may sum up my life as well because I too may Your little nothing totally dependent on Your love, Your strength, Your support and Your guidance to move, inspire and lead me.

Matthew 18:1-5

My Beloved, today You remind us that we must recognize what pleases You.  We must know that we exist because God in His goodness created us for eternal happiness and that the only way to get there is through humility and obedience to Your will.  To willingly become the least is not a lifestyle that is touted by the world.  Everyone is jostling to be first, to have the most, to have the best.  They are prepared to lie, cheat, brawl, fight and do anything to be ahead and get ahead.  That is not the way God recommends. In order to inherit the Kingdom we must first become like little children it is the only way that is acceptable to God.  We are called not only to be childlike in our attitude but we are also called to be the guardians of His little ones.  We must ensure to guard and  preserve their innocence and not strip them of their childhood while they are still only children as the world seems hell bent on doing.  Open the eyes of the world Lord that we may see how offensive we are becoming to both God and to man.
