First Saturday |
The
Task of the Guardian Angels
a "Beloved children, on this first Saturday of the
month, you are gathering
together in cenacles to renew your consecration to my Immaculate Heart and to observe
the liturgical memorial of your
guardian angels. In the times of the great trial, I invite you to strengthen the bond which unites
you to your guardian angels. They have a special and important task to carry
out with regard to you, especially in these
last times.
b —The guardian angels have above all the task of being a light upon your path. The days in which you are living are
marked with a great darkness which is
becoming ever more profound and
widespread. It is the darkness of errors which encompasses the minds of men and which makes them victims of
the great apostasy. It is the
darkness of sins which obscures the beauty and holiness of the soul. It is the darkness of impurity which degrades the splendor of your body, called to
reflect the glory of the living God.
Thus, how many of my poor children are today living like shadows, submerged in
the darkness of error, of sin and of impurity!
c
-To your guardian angels has been entrusted the task of protecting you
from the great darknesses which surround you, to make you walk always in the light of truth, of holiness,
of purity, of humility, of trust and of love.
d —And secondly, the guardian angels have the task of being
a defense for your
life. How numerous and subtle are the snares which the wicked
spirits set each day for you: these demons who
have now been poured out over the world and who are working everywhere to lead souls to eternal damnation! Their activity has now become powerful, because it has
become associated with the powers
who have control of the mass media, such
as the press and television. With subtle refinement, evil has been spread under the guise of good; sin, as an
exercise of one's own freedom; and
transgression of the Law of God, as a new conquest on the part of this
poor and perverted humanity.
e How
strong and continuous are the attacks of the wicked spirits in striking you even in your physical life, by accidents, misfortunes, assaults, sicknesses, calamities,
explosions of violence, wars and
revolutions! To the guardian angels has been entrusted the task of protecting you against all these
evils, of defending you against
these snares, and of making you walk through life under their secure and
powerful protection.
f —And lastly, the guardian angels have
the task of waging together with you one and the same battle to obtain the same victory. In the great trial which has now
arrived, the fierce struggle between the Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Red Dragon, between the forces of good and evil, between Christ and
the Antichrist, is becoming stronger and more bloody.
g It is a battle which is being waged above all at the
level of the spirits: the good spirits against the wicked spirits, the angels against the demons, Saint Michael
the Archangel against Lucifer.
h You are involved in this great struggle, which is
immensely above and beyond you. And so you must be particularly close to those who are close to you in the great
encounter, who have great power in
this struggle, who assist you in fighting, and who lead you to certain
victory.
i Littlest of my children, entrust
to the particular protection of your guardian angels the long and wearisome journey which
you must undertake in a few days to
Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia,
the Fiji Islands and New Zealand, in order to hold cenacles everywhere with the priests and faithful of my Movement.
j I urge you all
today to be more assiduous in prayer, stronger in your bond of unity and deeper in
your affection in respect to these
angels of light, who are being given to you by the Lord as your guardians and protectors.
k Together with
them all, I bless you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
