GUARDIAN ANGELS

Guardian Angels

“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.”  Matthew 18:10

We honor, today, our glorious Guardian Angels!  They are treasures and helpers beyond what we could imagine.

A few days ago we honored the Archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.  In that reflection we looked at the hierarchy of celestial beings created by God.  Though the Guardian Angels are on the bottom of that list, they are no less glorious and magnificent than the host of other celestial beings.

Guardian Angels are traditionally said to have been created for the sole purpose of serving us in our needs.  Yes, God could have chosen to care for us directly without the use of angels, but He didn’t.  He chose to create angels as mediators of His grace and care.

It’s fair to say that our Guardian Angels love us with a perfect love.  They know us, care for us and desire deeply that we become holy.  Their primary purpose is to get us to Heaven and to draw us into the heights of sanctity.  How do they do this?

They do it by mediating God’s grace to us.  The word “angel” means messenger.  Thus, our angels play a central role in communicating to us the will and mind of God.  They can speak all that God wants to say to us.  They are also protectors in that they bring grace from God to particular situations in life to fight against evil and to help us do good.

Reflect, today, upon the gift of your own guardian angel.  This celestial being was created for the sole purpose of caring for you and getting you to Heaven.  Speak to your angel, today.  Rely upon your angel’s intercession and allow this holy angel to communicate to you God’s abundant grace.

Angel of God, my Guardian dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.  Angels of God, pray for me.  Jesus, I trust in You.

A POWERFUL STORY ABOUT THE POWER AND MYSTERY OF THE ROSARY

Credits to the owner of this story. This is not my story. Just thought that it is worth to share to inspire others. 

As October devotion ongoing, this story might inspire someone:

The girl! 

As I picked up her rosary beads to pray, tears came to my eyes. The tiny brownish beads felt strange and hard on my fingers. I had not prayed the rosary in years. I wasn’t even sure I could still remember the prayers correctly. I was not the praying type. But I was now determined to try. The little girl had been very clear when she gave me that one last instruction. It seemed God had given her that last moment of lucidity. I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn’t do as she asked…

***

I had begun the day full of confidence, without an inkling I would end up here. Being owner and CEO of chains of companies meant you constantly had to be at meetings and seminars on end. This was my life. I lived and loved it. Herbie, my wife had waved at me from the patio as Suleiman my driver drove me out of the compound that early dawn. Herbie was still donned in her nightie and she looked like she would be going right back to bed. Unlike Herbie, I was an early bird. I went to bed early and rose early. Today, I had a 7:00am flight to Abuja (Nigeria), and I left as early as 5:00am. I never joked with time.
We had just left the gate before Suleiman (the driver) started acting up, or so I thought. He drew the black luxurious SUV to the side of the street, put the car on park, and quickly went out of the vehicle. Before I could ask what the matter was, he was retching noisily into the gutter nearby. I waited about ten seconds before coming out of the car. 

“Are you okay?” I asked, as soon as I was standing by Suleiman’s side. 

“Yes sir!” He answered. But he didn’t seem fine to me. He was sweating profusely in that morning chill. He bent double again and continued emptying whatever he had inside his stomach into the gutter. 

“What did you eat?” I asked again, when it seemed he was done. 

“Oka, I nor know fah. Wallahi! But I nor peel pine Oka. Kai mana!” (Boss, I don’t know at all, but I don’t feel too good). 

“Are you sure?”

“Yaawah!”

“Okay, take me back to the compound and call me another driver.” I glanced at my gold-plated wrist watch. I had already lost close to twenty minutes.

Suleiman looked at me with a pained expression on his face. “Oka, nor vex fah! Na only me dey today. Madam say na just to drive go airfort today.” (“Boss, don’t be offended, I’m the only driver available”). 

I rubbed my gradually balding head and straightened out the collars of my navy blue Tuxedo. I had two options – call a cab, or drive myself. I looked at my wrist watch again – forty minutes lost! 

“Okay, tell Madam I’ll leave the car at the airport garage. She can send someone to get it later.”

“Yes sir.” Suleiman seemed relieved. He was wiping his mouth and trying to look smart in his chauffeur uniform. I waited for some more seconds before getting into the car and driving off in a rush… 

***

I knocked her over before I saw her. How was I to know there was a child in the middle of the road that early morning? I had been so occupied with the things I had to do as soon as I got to Abuja that I wasn’t really concentrating on the driving… 

***

She couldn’t have been more than twelve. The pain that tugged at my heart was too much to bear. She hadn’t given me any number to call. She hadn’t been able to talk much after the accident. I had driven like a maniac to a private hospital, with the child at the back seat, but it had been too late. 

Just before they had taken her into the ICU, she had pressed her rosary beads into my hands and looked straight into my eyes, “I forgive you,” she said, in a voice barely audible enough to hear. “Pray the rosary for me. I forgive you…”

Minutes later, she was dead. That but it had been too late.

A VERY POWERFUL PRAYER FOR FINANCIAL FREEDOM

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things shall be added unto you” (Mt 6,33)

Lord Jesus, I come to stand before your presence at this moment and offer you my life with everything that I carry within my heart. My anguish, my sadness, my loneliness and especially Jesus, the concern I bring about my financial life.

I want to ask right away that the Lord will pour Your Blood on me and on the whole reality that surrounds my financial life, and the way it affects my family, my work and the people with whom I relate.

I have had moments of great distress because my financial life is completely disorganized, today I bring many debts and I really do not know what else to do. I have bills to pay, late rent, I owe people, to moneylenders and this is disruptive to my family's harmony.

That is why today, at this moment I beg: Pour all to all of this, Lord Jesus your Blood so that if there is any kind of spiritual problem directly linked to my financial life, be cut off in the power of Your Blood!

That is why Jesus, if to this day I have not lived according to His will, today I want to commit myself to live of awake with His will. If to this day I have sought you only for what the Lord could give me; Today I come to get you because I understood that I need everything in your presence. But I beg you Lord Jesus to free me from all the problems I bring in my financial life. For I believe in His Word, and I believe that the Lord looks at me and also cares about the financial reality that I live today.

I cry out the power of Your name Jesus over all my genealogical tree , over all my ancestors . If in my ancestors there were quarrels over financial matters, robberies or betrayals among our family, and as a consequence words of Curses were thrown, words spoken with hatred, anger, envy; cut it all in the power of Thy name Jesus! Let none of this have any more power over me or my financial life.

If in my ancestors there were situations of people attached to money, situations of murder because of money, ambition, money of the family spent with purchases of illicit things, drugs, prostitution, sex, adultery, lies … That in all this now Jesus, the Your presence should be done and that Cure and Liberation should happen for Your name.

Imy ancestors or if I have spent my money on wrong things or to feed sinful situations, today I ask for forgiveness, because I know that the money misused can become a curse for us, so free us.

May your Redeemer Blood also be poured out on me and my ancestors if we seek solutions where the Lord was not: If we seek help in blessings, in occultism, in Macumba, in witchcraft, in flushing, in palmistry, in the search for try to contact the dead; in all this I proclaim Thy power and Thy liberation, Lord Jesus.
If I sought financial help through witchcraft, if I sought out magicians, if I did work against other people, if my house was used for these purposes, my work, my office, I RELEASE to all this now Jesus by the power of Your Name! I renounce all this !!

I ask Your forgiveness if I or my ancestors seek all these things that I know today that they are not to your liking!

I beg your pardon. Jesus doubted that the Lord took care of me and my family! Forgiveness if I offended you with bad words, if I blamed the Lord for this financial difficulty, pardon Lord!

Forgiveness if I cursed my financial life by saying that what I earn is a misery, that I starve, that my salary is a “crap”, that does not give for anything!

Forgive me if I said damn words about my job, about my bosses, if I also cursed them by words, desiring hunger, misery, poverty and pain!
I also want to release my forgiveness to them, if I thought that some day they were unfair to me, when they delayed my salary, or even when they did not pay what was rightfully mine, I now forgive them in their Name Jesus! I release my forgiveness to each one of them!

And from today’s Lord Jesus, I can reap the rewards of delivering all the troubles and debts in my financial life.
May the Lord pour out the Holy Spirit upon me by helping in my natural capacities, so that I may find a way to pay off my debts, for I know that money will not fall from heaven. That is why it empowers my knowledge, the wisdom, the organization and the ability to manage these debts.

I ask you to open the doors to new employment opportunities, that situations of labor and financial processes unfold by the strength of Your Name Jesus.

May the Holy Spirit give me the necessary tranquility and calm in my house, with my relatives, and may the Holy Spirit not allow despair and impatience because of this!

I want to proclaim that from this day on I am a new person, and that my financial life will slowly resolve itself, and that I will seek You with faithfulness of heart!

Everything is delivered in His hands, so I proclaim: I trust and I hope in You Lord!

Amen!
