QUOTES FROM
ST. JOSEMARIA ON
THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGELS FOR YOUR PERSONAL PRAYER.
“Have confidence in your guardian angel. Treat him as a very dear friend – that’s what he is – and he will do a thousand services for you in the ordinary affairs of each day.”
The Way, 562
“Win over the guardian angel of the one you want to draw to your apostolate. He is always a great ‘accomplice’.”
The Way, 563
“If you would remember the presence of your guardian angel and those of your neighbors, you would avoid many of the foolish things you let slip into your conversation.”
The Way 564
“You seem amazed that your guardian angel has done so many obvious favors for you. But you shouldn’t be: that’s why our Lord has placed him at your side.”
The Way, 565
“You say there are many occasions of going astray in such surroundings? That’s true, but aren’t there any guardian angels as well?”
The Way, 566
“Turn to your guardian angel at the moment of trial; he will protect you from the devil and bring you holy inspirations.”
The Way, 567
“Do you not greet warmly all the people you love, and speak to them cordially? —Well, you and I are going to greet Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and our Guardian Angels, many times a day. “
Furrow, 690
“The Guardian Angel always accompanies us as our principal witness. It is he who, at your particular judgement, will remember the kind deeds you performed for Our Lord throughout your life. Furthermore, when you feel lost, before the terrible accusations of the enemy, your Angel will present those intimate desires of your heart — which perhaps you yourself might have forgotten — those proofs of love which you might have had for God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
That is why you must never forget your Guardian Angel, and that Prince of Heaven shall not abandon you now, or at that decisive moment.”
Furrow, 693
“Custody of the heart. That priest used to pray: “Jesus, may my poor heart be an enclosed garden; may my poor heart be a paradise where you live; may my Guardian Angel watch over it with a sword of fire and use it to purify every affection before it comes into me. Jesus, with the divine seal of your Cross, seal my poor heart.”
Forge, 412
“A priest who was saying the Divine Office prepared himself for prayer in this way: ‘I will follow the rule of saying, when I start: “I want to pray as the saints pray”, and then I will invite my Guardian Angel to sing the Lord’s praises with me.’
Try this in your own vocal prayer, and also as a way of increasing your presence of God in your work.”
Forge, 747
“Whenever you are in need of anything, or are facing difficulties, whether great or small, invoke your Guardian Angel, asking him to sort the matter out with Jesus, or to do the particular service you may require.”
Forge, 931
“Get into the habit of praying to the Guardian Angel of each person you are following up, to help them to be good and faithful and cheerful, so that when the time comes they will be able to receive the eternal embrace of Love from God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and from the Blessed Virgin.”
Forge, 1012
