Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels
angelic protection
And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon… – Revelation 12:7
I was badly shaken as our son, Peevee, together with the rest of the family, rushed me to the hospital. I felt so helpless and totally out of control as I plummeted down the stairway on a free fall, slamming against the long flight of steps. As in all accidents, it just happened so fast without warning. I fell headlong and crashed into the cemented landing below.
It was my first time to be in an ER and was immediately brought to the trauma room. I must have been in a state of shock because I didn’t feel any pain until I felt the sting of the anti-tetanus shots and the hydrogen peroxide that was generously poured on the deep wounds on my left arm that was bleeding and badly swollen.
My story could have had a different and tragic ending. But the X-ray and other tests yielded negative results. I came out of the fall unscathed except for the scar that now serves as a reminder of the Lord’s goodness.
I am deeply grateful to Him for giving me a guardian angel who shielded and protected me on that day of the accident. Mari Sison-Garcia (mari_sison_garcia@yahoo.com)

REFLECTION:
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2)
Lord, I thank You for assigning an angel to watch over me 24/7.
