Quote/s of the Day – 2 October – The Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels
“How consoling it is to know , that we have a spirit, who from womb to tomb, NEVER LEAVES US, EVEN FOR AN INSTANT, not even when we dare to sin. And this heavenly spirit guides and protects us, like a friend, a brother.”
St Padre Pio (1887-1968)
“Each man has an angel guardian appointed to him….Angel guardians are given to man also as regards invisible and secret things, concerning the salvation of each one in his own regard. Hence individual angels are appointed to guard individual men.”
St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) Doctor
“When tempted, invoke your Angel. He is more eager to help you than you are to be helped! Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him: He trembles and flees at the sight of your Guardian Angel.”
St John Bosco (1815-1888)
“We should show our affection for the angels, for one day they will be our co-heirs just as here below they are our guardians and trustees appointed and set over us by the Father.”
St Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) Doctor
“The powers of hell will assail the dying Christian but his angel guardian will come to console him. His patrons and St. Michael, who has been appointed by God to defend his faithful servants in their last combat with the devils, will come to his aid.”
