St. Francis of Assisi - October 15

The Angels Our Companions

"Francis venerated most affectionately the angels who are with us on the field of battle and who walk with us in the midst of the shadow of death.  We should venerate these companions, he would say, who are with us everywhere, and we should call upon them as our guardians.  He used to teach that we should not offend their presence by doing in their sight what we would not do before people."  --Celano, Second Life, 197

I have read some wonderful stories of angels helping people.  I believe if we are open to feeling their presence, we will become aware of them, whether its through a breeze that comes up suddenly for a brief moment or in a heightened awareness of being protected from danger.
