Our Morning Offering – 2 October – The Memorial of the Guardian Angels
My Oldest Friend
By Saint John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
My oldest friend, mine from the hour
When first I drew my breath,
My faithful friend, that shall be mine,
Unfailing, till my death….
Mine when I stand before the Judge,
And mine, if spared to stay
Within the golden furnace, till
My sin is burn’d away.
And mine, O Brother of my soul,
When my release shall come,
Thy gentle arms shall lift me then,
Thy wings shall waft me home.

Here, this Saint puts into words better than I could ever my thoughts regarding my Angel.
