PAUL’S CWL refer to your guardian angel -- “All you got to do is call and I’ll now celebrating its fourth year right here in Muskoka Have invited ALL THE WOMEN OF OUR PARISH be there… You’ve got a friend.” We owe to our faithful Guardian Angel the most profound gratitude for the numberless benefits he bestows upon us. Always and everywhere he stands at our side, lovingly protecting us, kindly warning us and earnestly exhorting us. We should also know the protection of St. Michael the Archangel (Dan 12:1 Rev. 127). He is involved as a warrior against the devil and all rebel angels. For many years this traditional “St. Michael Prayer” was recited at the end of the Mass. “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all other evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.” Some Biblical references for Angels: Act 8:26/ Act 12:7/ Heb 1:5-8/ Rv511-12/ Rv 22:16/ Luke 15:10/ Tb 6:1/ Ps 91:11-12/ Rv 8:3-4/ Col 1:16/ Eph 6:10/ Mt 28:2-7/ Book of Tobit.
