October 2, 2024 Reflection – Holy Mary, Queen of Angels – pray for us!
Holy Mary, Queen of Angels – pray for us! October 2, 2024 The Holy Guardian Angels Dear Family of Mary! Today we celebrate our Guardian Angels. The are our heavenly friends and protectors who follow us through life, protecting and praying for us. We are never alone. In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of our Guardian Angels: Matthew 18: 1-5, 10 The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” The Gospel of the Lord. Our Guardian Angels pray for us before God at all times. Since we were tiny in the womb, we have had our dear Angel by our side. We can pray to him now with great love and thanksgiving. Let’s give time today to look over our lives and perceive those key moments when our angel found a way to protect us and guide us back to God. This feast is a happy and wondrous day!! Here is a good prayer to pray today: O Holy Guardian Angel, my dear friend and solicitous guide on the dangerous way of life, to thee be heartfelt thanks for the numberless benefits which have been granted me through thy love and goodness and for the powerful help by which thou hast preserved me from so many dangers and temptations. I beg of thee, let me further experience thy love and thy care. Avert from me all danger, increase in me horror for sin and love for all that is good. Be a counselor and consoler to me in all the affairs of my life, and when my life draws to a close, conduct my soul through the valley of death into the kingdom of eternal peace, so that in eternity we may together praise God and rejoice in His glory. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. Holy Mary, Queen of Angels, pray for us! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV
