Today is Feast Day of the Guardian Angels

Today, October 2, is the feast day of the Guardian Angels. We all have a guardian angel. From the website The New Theological Movement, it said that archangels may not be a guardian angel. But I have always considered my guardian angel as St. Sealtiel, one of the archangels, based on the day of the week I was born.

When I was still in grade school until high school, we always prayed to our guardian angel each morning:

Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.


I found a St. Sealtiel key chain a long time ago and I keep it as a key chain to my car keys, to remind me to always ask him for protection and guidance.

 

Thank you and Happy Feast Day!!!

The Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr

Sharing this special prayer that has always helped me find peace whenever I am in a stressful situation...trusting Him completely.


God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.


Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.


Amen.
