It is a great talk. I heard it awhile ago. Opus angelorum has a lot of good material on devotion to our Guardian Angels.
As a child I would leave room on my seat in class for my guardian angel every day. Then I slowly became a teenager and got a bit distracted by the world.. thank God that there were roots planted.. lets try to plant these same roots in our children and grandchildren.
We used to do that too. Our angels seemed very real in my childhood and now again very real as I age.
bump Today is the Feast of the Guardian Angels Below is Padre Pio’s personal prayer to his Guardian Angel that he prayed on a daily basis. "Oh, my Holy guardian Angel, care for my soul and my body. Enlighten my mind that I may better know the Lord my God and love Him with all my heart. Watch over me when I pray so I won't give into life's distractions.Sustain me with your counsel as I live as righteous Christian, and help me to do good works with a giving heart. Protect me from the cunning of the adversary, and lift me up when I am being tempted so I may win the fight against evil. Stay beside me at all times, never stop watching over me until I'm called back to the father's house, where we will praise together our Great God for all eternity. Amen."

They are great scene setters, they place everything in focus They miss nothing
