Today (Oct 2nd) we celebrate the feast day of Our Guardian Angel😇
From an early age we have been taught that we have a guardian angel. But before we were even taught we just knew. Today people of all ages have a beautiful and touching belief in angels. We sense that there is someone special watching over us.
Like many things we take our Guardian Angel for granted. We often forget that they are there as our friend. They are real, active and can best be described as God’s protective love very near and close to us.
Mindful Quote💕: ““No connection can ever be broken if love holds tight at both ends.”

Mindful Prayer🙏: “O 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, to rule and guide. Amen”
Last Thursday September 25th, was the feast of Saint Finbarr, famous for making home in the beautiful Gougane Barra.
Spiritual Thought For The Week🙏
As we gently move into the month of October today we have some beautiful traditional feast days coming up over the next few days. Yesterday Wednesday (Oct 1st) was the feast of St Therese and she is one of the most popular saints of our time. Her huge appeal is not that she did extraordinary things but that she did the little things extraordinary well. She found that she was closest to God when she was doing the simplest and most mundane tasks.
The world we live in today puts the spotlight on the sensational and the bigger the better. What a beautiful spirituality that can turn this upside down and instead say that the little and small moments are the best of all. It is little wonder that Therese is such a popular saint all over the world today.
As we journey through this month of October, may we find more contentment and ease, in the simple, ordinary and down to earth moments that make up our everyday lives.
Today Thursday (Oct 2nd) is the feast day of our guardian angel. From an early age we have been taught that we have a guardian angel. But before we were even taught we just knew. Today people of all ages have a beautiful and touching belief in angels. We sense that there is someone special watching over us.
Like many things we take our Guardian Angel for granted. We often forget that they are there as our friend. They are real, active and can best be described as God’s protective love very near and close to us. A fitting prayer to your Guardian Angel on Thursday and indeed every day might be:
“O 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, to rule and guide. Amen”
