God Sends His Angels To Watch Over And Guide Us.
Bishop Finn gives an explanation of the Church's view on angels as we prepare for the feast day of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael on September 29, as well as the memorial of the Guardian Angels on October 2. He includes this inspiring example of the beloved Good Pope, Blessed John XXIII.
"Blessed Pope John XXIII had a deep devotion to the guardian angels, grasping how they could be called upon to help us in our work for God in the church. When the future pope served in the Vatican's diplomatic service, he was often assisted by the angels. Whenever he was approaching what he thought would be a contentious meeting or negotiation, he would pray not only to his guardian angel, but also to the angel of the person he was meeting. Together, Blessed John and the two angelic helpers would constitute a three-to-one majority, capable of winning over the heart of his would-be adversary."
