Sept. 8 International Angel Day: 10 Ways to Connect with Your Angel

September 8 is International Angel Day. What a great opportunity to connect with your guiding angels. Did you know that we are all cradled in the supportive and protective care of guardian angels? Our guardian angels are messengers from God, sent to guide us as we make our way through life. Think of your guardian angel as your loving companion who walks by your side, providing guidance and assistance.

As your soul’s best friend, your guardian angel may come to you as the nurturing presence of a mother to comfort you in times of need, bringing inspiration and beneficial influences. During crisis, your guardian angel may appear as a mighty catalyst embodying the majesty and power of the Lord’s love, prompting you to action. And in situations of physical or spiritual distress, your angel interacts with the strength and protectiveness of a father who pulls you swiftly from harm’s way.

Most often, however, your guardian angel assists you in ways that are nearly invisible. With vigilance, you can begin to recognize the familiar, comforting feeling of your guardian angel’s touch. Your guardian angel is standing by, waiting for every opportunity to connect with you. You must be receptive to accept the love, direction, and comfort your angel wants to bestow upon you.
