Guardian Angels

One of our greatest helps in our spiritual journey is our Guardian angel.  Our Guardian angel is with us throughout our life.  God gives us this angel because we are engaged in a spiritual battle.  Our Guardian angel is entrusted with the care of our soul from the moment of our conception. He can not choose for us.  We have free will, but our Guardian angel speaks with Divine authority to help us choose rightly. Develop a personal relationship with your Guardian angel.   Father George P. Schommer, O.P. (Excerpt from Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! Words to Challenge, Inspire and Instruct )

Increasing Our Faith

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) An increase in Faith comes from the exercise of the Faith we have already received.   It is like the development of a muscle.   It requires us to increase our dedication to the Word of God; our perseverance in prayer and meditation; and the exercise of our faith to penetrate the mysteries before us…Faith takes risks – it recognizes that with God all things are possible…Faith grows as we find ourselves more deeply united with the Lord and wanting to imitate His words and actions.    ( Father George P. Schommer, O.P., one of 1200 challenging quotations you will find in Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! - Words to Challenge, Inspire and Instruct ).
