My spiritual director was so correct when she once told me “a sick person is unlikely to pray. I recall being indignant and thinking to myself, “Not me!”
Well for the last 5 days I have been cranky and bedridden with a viral infection. All I have been doing is bemoaning being sick.
Pray, and read the Bible – nope! Today was the first day I have a sense of hope and spirituality, and it’s thanks to my daily morning emails.
I think my guardian angel must be working overtime as my grumpiness must have made its way heavenward.
“Our own guardian angel [is] for each of us like a trustworthy captain commissioned to defend a stronghold against its enemies. Our guardian angel remains alert and watchful lest any foes should capture and occupy the fort of our soul. These angels are the faithful guards whom the Lord has located on the walls of Jerusalem to keep watch over His flock throughout the night lest the ferocious wolf of hell, who prowls around like a roaring lion seeking for someone to devour, should seize upon our poor souls!”
–St. Aloysius Gonzaga, p.65
