Once upon a time, there was a child ready to be born. One day the child asked God:
How am I going to live on earth being so small and helpless?
Among the angels, I chose one for you. She will care for you.
But here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile.
Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day and you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.
And what am I going to do when I want to talk to You?
Your angel will place your hands together and teach you to pray.
I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?
Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.
But I will always be sad because I will not see You anymore.
Your angel will teach you the way to come back to Me. At that moment there was so much peace in Heaven,
but prayers from earth could already be heard.
The child asked softly: Oh God, please tell me my angel’s name.
Your angel’s name is of no importance, you will call her “Mommy”. (From: Knights to Christ, Daily Devotions for Knights seeking Christ.)
A HAPPY AND BLESSED MOTHER’S DAY !
Sincerely,
Father Stanley
