Quote/s of the Day- 2 October – The Memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels
“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 of the Church
“Let us be like the holy angels now. …
If one day we are to be in the angelic court,
we must learn now, while we are still here, the manners of the angels.”
St Vincent Ferrer (1350-1419)
“Since God often sends us His inspirations by means of his angels,
we ought frequently to offer Him our aspirations through the same channel….
Call on them and honour them frequently
and ask their help in all your affairs, temporal as well as spiritual.”
St Francis de Sales (1567-1622) Doctor of the Church
“Our prayers are so dear to God,
that He has appointed the angels to present them to Him,
as soon as they come forth from our mouths.
‘The angels,’ says St Hilary, ‘preside over the prayers of the faithful
and offer them daily to God.’
This is that smoke of the incense,
which are the prayers of saints,
which St John saw ascending to God from the hands of the angels (Apoc. 8,3)
and which he saw in another place,
represented by golden phials full of sweet odours, very acceptable to God.”
St Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787) Doctor of the Church
“How happy is that guardian angel
who accompanies a soul to Holy Mass!”
