October 2 and 3 are 3rd class feasts of the Guardian Angles and St. Therese of the Child Jesus respectively. Both are important for me and I found that devotion to the guardian angels is worth it. My guardian angel has protected me while driving my car and in my various travels. The church believes that each one of us baptized members of the church were given our particular angels to guide us and protect us. The Bible says that these are fiery creatures and ministers of God. They bod the command of God and strong and powerful.
I owe also a lot to my dear patron saint, St. Therese. Indeed a person well loved by the Lord because of her childlike faith and simplicity. A virgin and doctor of the church. Her profound understanding of the mysteries of the gospel has earned her the title of Doctor of the Church. She teaches us the little way of Christ.
Yesterday afternoon we held a get together for twenty or so little children in the school. We treated them with stories, candies and goods. I notice this little boy, probably because he was too young to join the other children he went venturing the corridors of the school. I took this snap shot and was inspired by the simple message of this picture. To be child-like, to have that faith and assurance of a child. To trust in the Lord is what propelled saints to become saints. St. Therese thank you so much for your friendship, my guardian angle I do not know your name but you are also my real friend and helper. Thank you Lord for providing me with true friends!
