The exercise for my kids was merely an attempt to get them to connect to their guardian angels--to make it real for them. I had them ask for their Guardian Angels name for themselves and told them not to tell anyone the name. It was the name that just they call their Angel. Naming things, especially for children, is a good thing. It gives tangibility to intangible things, for once we can name something, we have a way of knowing it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367907451392729802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82467923053087614.post-33612858570862710202012-09-18T12:22:55.734-05:002012-09-18T12:22:55.734-05:00

[such as the] practice of assigning names to the holy angels [which] should be discouraged, except in the cases of Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael whose names are contained in Holy Scripture (Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy 217).<br />http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/ccdds/documents/rc_con_ccdds_doc_20020513_vers-direttorio_en.htmlABehmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303979417051074844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82467923053087614.post-61543188819085046462012-09-17T15:00:45.952-05:002012-09-17T15:00:45.952-05:00You had me on the edge of my seat reading this one...You had me on the edge of my seat reading this one. I got chills. The first time I prayed the guardian angel prayer I was traveling alone in London and while I was expecting to have some grand adventures on my own, I started to get lonely and even a little scared walking around on my own. One night I got lost and it was getting dark. I couldn't find my hotel! So after I finally found my way home I looked up in this little Catholic book of prayers the Guardian angel prayer and said it the rest of my trip. I felt so much better the rest of the time and now it is one of my favorite prayers, as simple as it is. I also love the guardian angle prayer in the Byzantine prayer book. Anyway, great post. Thanks for sharing that awe-inspiring picture! (And yes, I agree, it's an angel.)Kayleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589019233035937673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82467923053087614.post-22912644182947812962012-09-14T21:56:21.294-05:002012-09-14T21:56:21.294-05:00wow! inspiring!
