Angel of Mine
God created the world out of goodness and love for mankind, and part of His goodness he create an angel, an angel is a spiritual being without bodies, they have understanding and free will. They see God face to face in heaven, but not all angels, those angels who are good and faithful can see, love and adore God. Good angels help us especially by praying for us and by being our guardian angels. They are a blessing to us as we continue to live a life like Jesus. So let us know the 3 of them:

3 Most known Archangels St. Michael Feast day: September 29 Patron of grocers, mariners, paratroopers, police, and sickness He is the Commander-in-Chief of all the hierarchies of the Heavenly Hosts. He is usually known as the Angel who defeated Lucifer and his followers in the first rebellion of creatures against God. By his battle cry: "Mi-ca-El" which means "Who is like unto God?", he was named Michael. He is the first defender of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Mystery of the Incarnation. He is usually associated with the miracles manifesting the almighty power of God with the Blessed Virgin Mary. St. Gabriel Feast day: September 29 Patron of communications workers His name means man of God He is the bearer of God's secret messages to His chosen ones. He is the Angel who announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary God's plan for her to be the Mother of His Son, Jesus (Luke 1:19). He was also the Angel who foretold to Daniel the end of the world. St. Raphael Feast day: September 29 Patron of Travelers His name means God heals He is the Archangel of the Christian's journey to heaven. He is assigned by God to accompany us along the way of our pilgrimage in search of the treasures of real happiness which God has in store for all His children. He also gives the light to discern correctly God's ways and protects us from the dangers that befall us on our way to our heavenly home. As his name Raphael connotes, "medicine of God," he is the Angel that brings good health and abundant provisions during our journey. (Tob. 8:3; 12:15). They are the ones that will help us in times of need. So let us always ask for their guidance every day.

Suggested Activities

Foot Step Make a prayer card: When God chose you to be an Angel, what would you like to look like? Draw your own image of Angel on the left page, after drawing; write a short prayer to your angel on the right page. Then the facilitator will ask 3 kids to share about the activity that they do. Step Up Household Start- up Questions: If you can recall, what angel experience that you have in your life? If you have a prayer concern right now that you can ask for your angel to help/ pray for you? Short Processing: We have our own good/ bad experiences in life, but let us dont forget that God is with us and He even sent an angel as our protector and prayer warrior. We just need to say a little prayer for them. Let us share our own angel experience in life to others so that others may believe that angels are for real. Though we are human beings, we can also be an angel to other people by helping them to obey God and to love Him. So that we can experience a little piece of heaven here on earth. After introducing to them the 3 archangels, encourage the kids to get to know more about their angels and to pray to them always. And visit http://www.viloria.com/viloria/adi/guardian.shtml to know their angels based on their birthday. Today we thank God for giving us our angels that will guide us every day, because the Lord loves us so much that He wants us to be safe always. Let us also share the things that weve learned today by simply praying for those people who are in need and let us ask our angels to protect them also. So we

Daddy Angel
A drunken man in an Oldsmobile they said had run the light. That caused the six-car pileup on 109 that night. When broken bodies lay about and blood was everywhere, The sirens screamed out eulogies, for death was in the air. A mother, trapped inside her car, was heard above the noise, Her plaintive plea near split the air, "Oh, God, please spare my boys!" She fought to loose her pinned hands, she struggled to get free, But mangled metal held her fast in grim captivity. Her frightened eyes then focused on where the back seat once had been, But all she saw was broken glass and two children's seats crushed in. Her twins were nowhere to be seen, she did not hear them cry, And then she prayed they'd been thrown free, "Oh, God, don't let them die! Then firemen came and cut her loose, but when they searched the back, They found therein no little boys, but the seat belts were intact. They thought the woman had gone mad and was traveling alone, But when they turned to question her, they discovered she was gone. Policemen saw her running wild and screaming above the noise In beseeching supplication, "Please help me find my boys!" "They're four years old and wear blue shirts, their jeans are blue to match." One cop spoke up, "They're in my car, and they don't have a scratch." "They said their daddy put them there, and gave them each a cone, "Then told them both to wait for Mom to come and take them home." "I 've searched the area high and low, but I can't find their dad." "He must have fled the scene, I guess, and that is very bad." The mother hugged the twins and said, while wiping at a tear, "He could not flee the scene, you see, for he's been dead a year." The cop just looked confused and asked, "Now, how can that be true? "The boys said, "Mommy, Daddy came and left a kiss for you." "He told us not to worry and that you would be all right, "And then he put us in this car with the pretty, flashing light. "We wanted him to stay with us, because we miss him so, "But Mommy, he just hugged us tight and said he had to go." "He said, someday we'd understand and told us not to fuss, "And he said to tell you, Mommy, "He's watching over us." The mother knew without a doubt that what they spoke was true, For she recalled their dad's last words, " I will watch over you." The firemen's notes could not explain the twisted, mangled car, And how the three of them escaped without a single scar. But on the cop's report was scribed, in print so very fine, "An angel walked the beat tonight on Highway 109."
