for one thing Angels exist.

One of my very favorite feastdays, and a good tonic before we meet the curmudgeonly St. Jerome (whose sometimes frosty admonishments make him a perfect lead-in to the crisp air and chill mornings of October) tomorrow.

Pope Benedict XVI: “Angels manifest God’s care for every individual”:

“. . .push us to think of the provident attention with which God occupies himself of every human person. Feel beside you, dear young people, the presence of the Angels and let yourself be guided by them, so that all your lives might be illuminated by the Word of God.”

One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was by a friend of mine named James Marley. He suggested not only asking for the intercession of one’s own guardian angel but to intercede to other people guardian angels:

“Angel of God their guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits them here, ever this day be at their side, to light and guard and rule and guide”

It’s good advice particularly when someone is getting ready to do something foolish.
