“Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.”
Exodus 23:20
This is a busy weekend in my beloved Catholic Church, with angels and life in every stage being celebrated. October 2nd marks the Memorial of the Guardian Angels, when we stop to recognize those servants of God assigned to assist us here on Earth.

In the Kennedy household, I’m very thankful for our Guardian Angels. They frequently work overtime helping to keep the Kaboodle, who know no fear, safe from harm. There are many variations of the Guardian Angel prayer, but this is the one we teach our young charges.
Angel of God,
my Guardian dear,
to whom His love
commits me here,
ever this day (or night)
be at my side,
to light and guard,
to rule and guide.
Amen.
In Archdioceses across the United States, this is also Respect Life Sunday. We are called to remember that ‘every person’s a person, no matter how small”. Our pro-life organizations need our help, with financial commitments, prayer, and volunteer time year round, not just for one weekend.
Join in, link up, and let me know how your Sunday is going!
We had the same idea this week, posting about the angels!
Actually, I didn’t think you’d be posting today, since I didn’t see a post earlier. Glad to see it’s up now. 🙂
Have a great week!
Yep — was a little late today! Still trying to get back in a groove! Thanks so much for playing along!
Hi! I’m following you and stopping by to visit from Sits, the giraffe tribe 🙂 I’m looking forward to getting to know you better through your blog and the forum.
Respect for Life Sunday is very special to me. When my mother was pregnant with me, doctors recommended abortion. My parents chose not to, and here I am! 🙂
Emily —
Thanks for stopping by! I feel sort of odd, ‘tribe jumping’, but would really like to connect with you guys, too!
I’m so glad to hear about your mother — what a challenge for her, and what a blessing you are to her!
Those poor beings probably sing praises when the boys go to sleep 🙂
Just stopping by from SITS – see you in the spotted leopard group!
Hey Dianna! Stopping by from your SITS giraffe tribe! That black and white picture is precious!
Have a great day!
