Happy feast of the Guardian Angels!

It is the feast of our guardian angels! Isn’t that incredible? Imagine your magnificent guardian angel with you every day, at the moment you wake up, to the time you go to bed, and through the night. It is a good idea to speak to your guardian angel frequently. Ask for your angel’s help in any matter, big or small, major or inconsequential. I talk to my guardian angel if I am traveling, if I am nervous about something, if I have a meeting I want to go smoothly or a conversation that needs to be held…pretty much, any time.

Did you know if you are having a difficult time with someone, you can talk to their guardian angel? You can also ask your guardian angel to speak to theirs. And of course, if you are sick and cannot go to Mass, you can send your guardian angel on your behalf. For real. Let us thank God for the gift of our guardian angels!

I’ve had two recent radio appearances to share. The first was about loneliness. AEI released a survey showing that church affiliation provides a sense of belonging in our increasingly lonely and isolated world. I spoke with John and the gang about it, which you can listen to here.

Next, I joined Morning Air to talk about: spiritual leadership. I know everyone throws around the word “leadership,” especially if you’re on LinkedIn, and it’s basically meaningless at this point. What I mean is that in every family, someone has to be the spiritual leader. Someone has to be the one to say “we’re going to church” or “we’re praying the rosary together.” More importantly, this requires us to not be hypocrites in our words and actions. Because kids see it all! And they’re not dumb. So if you’re trying to teach them to love their neighbors as the gospel says, and you cuss out everyone in traffic, well, you’re modeling being a hypocrite rather than a Catholic and that’s definitely not leadership.

You can listen to that one here. We had a few callers, which was also great.

I’ll be back on October 10. What will be the topic? Who knows!

God bless!
